How bad is it to sleep in contacts?

I slept in my contacts once by mistake and woke up with super red, dry eyes that felt like sand was stuck in them. It can cause serious corneal ulcers if you make it a habit. Just take them off, honestly, it only takes a minute.

I used to be lazy about this until I got a corneal infection that forced me back to glasses for a month. Never sleep in daily wear contacts. Keep your lens case and solution right next to your bed so you have no excuse to skip removing them.

While diet and hydration keep your eyes healthy from within, external care is equally important. Sleeping with contact lenses can lead to severe bacterial infections because of lack of oxygen. If you experience persistent irritation or redness, please consult an eye specialist.

I am too tired to even wash my face half the time, but trust me, taking out contacts is non-negotiable. If you sleep in them, your eyes will feel glued shut the next morning. Save yourself the panic and just pop them out before hitting the bed.
