For the first 1-2 weeks, avoid sleeping on your piercing (longer of possible). When changing clothes, using towels, hugging, styling hair, or wearing glasses, exercise caution.

Can I sleep with my nose piercing?
New piercings are made with professional-grade hypoallergenic materials, so you can safely leave them in for several weeks while the piercing heals. Even at night, you should avoid getting new piercings because the holes can close up.
Will my nose piercing heal on its own?
If your piercing is new, it can heal in just a few minutes. If you’ve had it for less than a year, you can expect it to close down in a matter of hours or days. Even if you’ve had the piercing for years, the inside of the hole can close up quickly.
How long can I wear my nose ring before it falls off?
It partly depends on the length of time you’ve had your nose pierced. If it’s past the healing stage (4 to 6 months), you should be fine for the next 24 hours. If it is still healing, it may begin to close. Because everyone heals differently, it’s difficult to give an exact timeframe.
Is it safe to sleep while wearing a nose ring?
Sleep on your back or on the opposite side of your piercing. If you sleep on the same side as your piercing, it may become dislodged. Just try sleeping on the other side, but I honestly haven’t had any problems…. with a tiny stud that is securely fastened, it really isn’t an issue.
What should I do if my nose ring falls out?
If you are in the “first few days after losing” category, you should be able to simply reinsert the jewelry with little or no resistance. You may want to be a bit gentler than you would if you were just changing out the jewelry, but otherwise it should be no problem!
Do nose piercings leave a hole in the skin?
If you’re 18 and getting your ears pierced, you might not mind a scar, but consider how you’ll feel about it when you’re 30, 40, or 50. While nose piercings will not leave a large, gaping hole, all piercings will leave scars.
