The side you sleep on.

[smyth01]

Seen a few threads recently about one side of the hair line thinning more rapidly than the other.

Most likely no connection but for myself the side I sleep on is the stronger side. I also have better facial hair development that side.

I assume more blood goes to the side being slept on, or at least it feels that way.

The side I sleep on is the thinnest so opposite from you. I don't think there is a connection.

This has been bugging me for years now..But no, I dont this it has anything to do on what side you sleep on. I remember in puberty, i started to get my body hair on left side sooner. Even now, i'm hairier on left side of my body: lower inner forearm, left side of the neck, even left sholder has some hair, while more thining on left side.

I wonder whats the mechanism behind this asymmetry of the body hemispheres that controls that. Does it have something to do with Left-right brain hemisphere?? Lymph nodes in the body?? we could go sci-fi on the subject. It can be anything..Could be the fact I'm right-handed

I've read this story about a guy whose left side of the face looked older then his right side. He was a truck driver and apperently the left side prematurely aged because his left side of the face was always exposed to sunlight. Weird.

Its not really weird that sun damages your skin over time.
