well, not exactly, but it is not a good idea to. maybe over time it will, but still, don't sleep with contacts in your eyes. when you wake up your eyes might feel hurting.

I am not a medical doctor but professionals have told me there are at least 2 major concerns with leaving your contacts in at night. I can't remember the medical name but if you leave your contacts in at night, they rob your eyes of oxygen. As a result, you eye compensates by developing more blood vessels to the area of the eye covered by the contact creating a mass of blood vessels just to deliver the oxygen to the starved portion of the eye. The second problem leads to major cornea damage if the contact drys out. Some contacts are designed to be left in for periods of time but it is always safest to take out.

Why do your eyes burn after taking out your contacts?

If you're new to wearing contacts your eyes may burn when you take the contacts out. Increased oxygen to your eye can create the burning or stinging sensation. As your wear contacts more regularly your eyes will adapt; if they do not become used to the contacts and your eyes still burn after a week or two, go and see your optometrist or ophthalmologist.
