Is there something inherently wrong with sleeping on your sides? I’ve slept on my sides for my entire life and can never fall asleep if I sleep in any other position.

Not at all! All positions have pros and cons. Biggest drawback is possible shoulder pain but most people might never develop it . It could be actually beneficial for your back to sleep on your side, depending on your situation.

I’ve actually noticed that over the years (I’m currently 21), my nose has become slightly crooked towards one side and it seems like my face has become slightly asymmetrical. It’s not noticeable and it isn’t bothering me but I never really understood why. Could me sleeping on mostly one side have skewed my facial structure?

Yes, sleeping on your back is one of the things my esthetician rants about
