Ok, if you know what your tragus is, its the little piece in the middle of the outside of your ear shaped like a little triangle pointing towards the back of your ear. Well my problem is, I often wake up in the middle of the nigt because it is in pain! It feels like when I am sleeping, my tragus is getting smashed or something. It changes depending what side I am sleeping on. The most painful part is when I lift my head from my pillow, it hurts REALLY bad, but will then feel better after a few minutes. Does anyone else have this or know what it is? In case you were wondering, I dont have a large head and my ears arent mishapen in any way.

It appears that you just fall into a deep sleep and get what is referred to dead head. Your head feels like a bowling ball and while sleeping the pressure of your head into the pillow causes the ear to have profuse pain which can last as long as two hours after waking up. Try sleeping on your back or put a neck pillow under your neck on top of your regular pillow and this will reduce it.

That always happens to my left ear, I always thought I slept wrong. When I go back to sleep it clears up. Maybe we just have sensitive cartilage.

occasionally we all have this problem...... do you sleep with your arm under your head...if so you are putting presure on that part of your ear and its like when you feet fall asleep.

Are your ears pierced? It could be an infection from that
