Some contact lenses are approved to sleep in because they offer higher oxygen transmission but you can also sleep occasionally in any contact. Each contact has a rating for how much oxygen is allowed through. O2Optix has a rating of ~110 and Biomedics has a rating of ~20. You can sleep in Biomedics but they are not anywhere near the ~100 rating needed to be recommended for sleep. Your eyes dry while you sleep and causes the contacts to become slightly dry. Blink a few times when you wake up and then keep your eyes closed and move your eyes. This will lubricate them and make them act normal.
Clean your contacts often and correctly and eye infections won't be a problem.

∙ 13y agoYou can but you shouldn't. To stay healthy your eyes need access to fresh air. Contact lenses are designed to let air through but they should be removed daily to give your eyes a chance to rest. When your eyes are shut and you have contacts on, you get less air to your eyes. If you accidently fall asleep wearing contacts, and everybody does, remove them when you wake up, clean them, and then let your eyes rest for a few hours before wearing them again. I suppose that if you were an emergency worker who had to wake up and be able to see instantly, you could put your contacts in just before sleeping. In this case you should be careful to limit the total number of hours that you wear contacts in any day.

∙ 14y agoAny contact lens listed as extended wear has been approved for overnight wear for up to a week at a time. The problem is that you are at least 10 times more likely to have problems if you don't take your lenses out to sleep. That's why most doctors prefer you take the lenses out at night.

Yes but you cannot sleep with them safely unless you have extended-wear contacts that you know your eyes tolerate well. Climate will also affect your ability to sleep in the contacts.
