When can I sleep normally after my transplant?

Hi, 

It's my third night since my hair transplant and I'm struggling to sleep much on my back. 

When can I sleep normally again, like on my side etc? 

I've had very little sleep so far due to the travel pillow being uncomfortable for me. Irritating! 

Thanks

After 7 days it will be pretty difficult to lose a graft.

I'd play it safe for at least 5 days.

So after 10 nights i+ or so it wouldn't matter if my transplant area gets touched whilst sleeping? 

You're in the clear for sure.

4,312 FUT grafts (7,676 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2013

1,145 FUE grafts (3,152 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2018

763 FUE grafts (2,094 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - January 2020

Proscar 1.25mg every 3rd day

You won't lose any grafts after 5 days...some say 3 days but never hurts to give it a few extra.

Five days is definitely fine. I’ve had six transplants and resumed normal sleeping between the fourth and fifth nights after each procedure. Never had an issue with losing a graft. 

Bril. So I can literally sleep on my side or front like i usually or is it a more of a case of being able to sleep a little more freely but not being careless?
