My roommate in college wore his until they became uncomfortable and fell out, usually several months, without taking them out at night. One day he woke up and his eyes were swollen shut and hurt like hell. He had to get the eye doctor to take them out, had a bad infection, and couldn’t wear contacts for 6 months.

around 2000. I'm sure there are newer ones that you can sleep in, but I doubt an eye doctor would recommend keeping them in for half a year or more at a time.
