*** I would not take out at all before 7 weeks.
*** I would not leave out over night before a year unless the hole seemed fairly healed and sturdy (any soreness and bleeding will probably result in scabs in morning which are difficult to scratch off and the hole will be harder to go through).
*** Keep clean at all times (personal experience).
I assume you mean the traditional ear lobe piercing. It depends on how long you have had it in and how regularly you clean it. I believe the recommended time to leave earrings in before switching is about 7 weeks, but even then changing was sore for me (I wasn't an extremely regular cleaning which you definitely should be- it was very difficult for me to find the exit hole with my earring and it doesn't seem right to be probing around in your ear). Even after the 7 weeks period you are technically supposed to leave a post earring in for a year I believe.
I just recently got an earring infection after 3 months because of not cleaning them for the past month and a half. Bad idea! I got an lump/absess next to the hole and it was not pleasant. I decided to leave the earrings out overnight to air out the hole which was a big mistake- tiny scabs grew over the hole and it was more difficult to push out the exit hole...
I was fortunately able to put them back in, but it was unnecessary pain.
