Can sleeping on your ear make it stick more out? (photo)

January 12, 2014
Asked By:The Dreamer

The ear on my right side (see picture), sticks a little more out than the one on the left. I guess this is a normal variant - is it? But most importantly, I am wondering: Can it be that the ear sticking out has been caused by me sleeping on it (more than the other)? Like from the pressure? I've heard people talk about that this can happen; but I feel like this is a typical myth-thing. I seek your advice to confirm if I am right or wrong. Thank you a bunch for your time, docs!
