Jewelry while sleeping
 

I was talking with some friends and somehow it came out that two of them don't remove their bracelets when they go to sleep. I thought this was weird because i was pretty sure that everyone removes all their jewelry when they sleep. My question is:

Do you remove everything, some things, or nothing?

For the things that you don't remove why do you not remove them?

Does wrist watch count? I don't wear any jewelry. I really couldn't fathom why people would want to wear them in their sleep though, I guess if something that you had to keep in place (like certain type of piercing) then people probably don't remove them, but there is always the possibility that something gets caught or stuck while you were moving around in your sleep. I don't want wake up to any unpleasant surprised because of it. :<

I wear this necklace all the time, never take it off except for the occasional cleaning.

I guess I find it's sort of a hassle to keep taking it off and putting it back on everyday. Since I wear it everyday, and it doesn't disturb my sleep, there's no point in me taking it off.

I don't wear jewlery while sleeping. Wait, what am I saying? I don't have jewelry. I'm too poor to have jewelry!

I have a silver chain necklace that I never, ever take off. I've been told it's a choking hazard if my hand gets caught on it, but I'm still here after 10 years. Plus, choking while asleep seems like a peaceful way to go. Wow, that's morbid. D:

I only wear a watch during the day, and I used to wear it when I went to sleep, but then I lost it, and from then I've never worn any jewellery whilst sleeping. Except for the rare occurance of course.

I take everything off except for my necklace. By "everything" I mean my watch. Yeah.

They get tangled in my significant other's tentacles if I dont

Huh, same here. I never take mine off. I would feel utterly naked without it.

I have 7 rings and one half-ring that I never remove. I have about a million necklaces, though - I often remove them in order to change up my outfit or whatever. I used to wear one silver moonstone pendant all the time, but it got a little boring. So now, I wear a variety of things.

But yea. The rings pretty much never come off. I've been wearing some of these rings for almost 10 years.

I usually wear earrings, necklace (that I don't take off), university ring (that I don't take off), and a watch. I only take off the earrings and watch. I don't see how anyone can sleep with earrings, especially the ones I wear, unless they're studs.

I have my A&M aggie ring that I only put on once I leave the house. Once I'm within the safety of my own roof, I take that sumbitch off. I love it but it's heavy =( I mean really~

I used to wear a watch but the face of it got in the way of my wrist mobility. I only tell time with my cell, so that leaves me with the ring as my only jewelry =U

I have a chain from my 18th birthday that I never take off, I do wear a watch but only when I'm out the house. Other than that I don't wear any jewellery.

I used to take off everything except my wedding rings. Now that I don't wear those anymore I take everything off. Every once in a while I'll accidentally fall asleep with my watch on but I never, ever sleep in earrings or a necklace. It would drive me crazy.

On the occasion that I do wear jewelry, (rings, earrings or a necklace) I leave it on for a few weeks. So, I'll sleep with it on, and shower with it on. The only time I don't do that is if it starts to bug me or if it's a mood ring of some sort and can't get water on it or something.

I don't really wear jewlery except I guess my wedding band which I wear it 24/7.

My parents got me a necklace for graduation that I wear every day. I usually leave it on when I'm sleeping, but sometimes it annoys me so I take it off. If I've been wearing earrings, I usually leave them in unless the end of the studs poke my head when I'm asleep, and I always have my lip and nose rings in.

I used to keep my rings on my fingers when I slept, but now they are kept on a chain, so I don't wear them anymore.

As a kid I kept my earrings in, but they where just stubs.

I wear a watch and it only ever comes off when I'm in the shower. Other than that I do not nor have I ever worn any jewelery.

I sleep with a necklace on. I've only lost the pendant once since the chain I had it on was a bit old, but I don't usually have problems keeping my necklace on. I don't take it off either since it's important to me. I don't sleep with earrings on either.

I always take my watch and thumb ring off for bed. Necklace and earrings stay on all the time... granted, four of my earrings I cant take off anyways. Sometimes the other two get taken out when my ears are irritated.

Why the hell would someone wear jewlery when going to sleep anyway? Is it too much work to just take them off and put them on again in the morning or whenever you feel waking up?

I've never understood how some people can stand to wear watches and jewelry while sleeping. It seems so uncomfortable just to save 5 minutes at most each morning. I can't even stand to wear my watch while typing in campus computer labs because of the tables.

Not to mention the effects I've seen from wearing a watch 24/7. A friend of mine wore his for a year, only removing it for showers, and still has a bright white band on his wrist to prove it. For a long time it was also skinnier than the rest of his wrist and looked really freaky.

i don't think anyone sleeps with their glasses on. I've heard of glasses being broken that way.

I normally always wear my high school graduation ring, my watch (a b/f gift), and not always but most of the time my necklace (also a b/f gift). I usually take everything off prior to taking my shower/bath at night, but on occasion if I go home really tired I'll skip the shower and forget to take off either my ring/watch. I usually ALWAYS take off my necklace before going to bed though.

I only really wear a watch when I go out (lol it's Spongebob!) and occasionally a necklace, but I never sleep with them on. Back when I was around 14, I made a simple anklet out of string and beads and wore it constantly for a year or so. That was pointless.

well...so far i only wear a necklace and i dont take it off. no particular reason, i guess i just can't be bothered taking it off unless i have to. although, my bf gave me a necklace once and i never took that off only because i wanted to wear it all the time ^_^

oh...and i see some people talk about their watches here too ^^; are they considered as jewelry? i take mine off when i go to bed just coz it can get annoying having it on :P

I never take off my watch. Ever. In fact I don't think I've taken it off in well over six months now.

I suppose that counts.

I have an acute fear that if I wear jewlery I'll become a target for those members of society that not only dissaprove of my hobbies, but do so with such vehemence that they would seek to cause bodily harm and financial discomfort.

That is to say, when I started hitching I stopped wearing the junk, and I never put it back on once I settled down. Maked it easy to start again, I auppose.

The only "jewelry" I wear is a string with a Mayan Calendar made from bone as the centerpiece. I usually wear it while I sleep but, if I remember, I take that shit off because I don't really like anything touching my throat and that tends to happen as I sleep with this thing.

Krelian: I used to be the same way about 13 years ago. Finally took my watch off one day and the skin was just white and raw.

I've sleepen a few times with neck chains on sometimes, after I broke 3 or 4 I stopped using it, I'm not exactly a quiet sleeper, that and the fact that I choked a few times while sleeping, so It's not entirely safe to do it.

i only wear earrings but they're just studs so they don't bother much to go to sleep in. i would take them off before but i only kept losing them so i just decided to keep them on all the time :P i don't wear any other jewelry other than that.

I will never wear a chain again when I got to sleep..And here's why.
I have a hard time as it is tryig to sleep.. But while waking up one day.. I was half asleep and half awake.. And I guess I was in the middle of some sort of dream..

I remember turning my head, and I felt something very tight around my neck.. But I thought I was dreaming, or something... turns out my necklace somehow to caught in the zipper of the pillow and while I was turning around that night it managed to wrap around itself almost creating a noose like situation!

My hands reached up and felt the chain pressing hard against my neck.. That's when I woke the F up and grabbing the chain and pulling it forward as I sat up..

Needless to say.. I wonder if I were deep in sleep and I kept turning my head what would of happend...

I dunno if a wristwatch or wristbands/guy-bracelets (bracers? hrr hrr) count, but I wear those when I sleep. Then again, I tend to sleep in whatever I wore that day, and that's usually jeans. I'm weird.

I don't wear a ton of jewelry, but I usually take off some bracelets and earrings (or leave them in depending on the type) before I go to sleep. Earrings are what I'm most paranoid about leaving in while I sleep, but I've actually broken a few bracelets on accident.

I wear jewelery and keep some of it on while I sleep. Earrings and things like that,I don't,unless it's a new piercing and have to keep it in.

I currently wear 3 bracelets (a random one I got out of a quarter machine,one that OZZ got me for our year anniversary, and a LIVEstrong one.) And a cross necklace to bed. I used to wear the engagement ring to bed,but it's to big for me so I was afraid it would come off while I was asleep. ;(
