I wonder what other do...do you take out your earrings at night before going to bed or do you sleep in your earrings?I would say that 90% of the time I sleep with my earrings on. Unless they are dangling earrings that would be uncomfortable to sleep in.

I have 8 earrings in each of my ears.
I definitely don't take them out...ever if I can get away with it!
The only time I have taken them out in the last 10 years that I've had them all I have only ever had to take them out to get X-Rays. It takes a long time to take them out...at least 20 minutes and even longer to put them back in. They're all hoops so it's not bothersome.

I most often sleep with my earrings on. I have two piercings and the newer ones I sleep with them on. I haven't had any earrings in my old piercings, but I need to buy a new pair. My daughter has a habit of taking my earrings and making off with them and then losing them!

I have two piercings in each ear. One lot of earings are very small, just sleepers. I always leave them in at night.
In the other holes, I usually have much largher earings in, such as gypsy earings. I always takle them out at night.
I love earings.
I was the first in my class at high school to have my ears pierced.

I have sensitives ears and I have studs. I leave them in all night and all day for that matter. I take them out to clean them once in a while, but I feel I have to im to get them back in. Not very good at that. I would not leave dangling earrings, as they might scratch me or the bed sheets.

I'm just like you, I always sleep with my earrings in my ear unless they are the dangling earrings and I do not wear dangling earrings that often. I use to keep them in my daughter ear at night too but she started pulling them out in her sleep so I had to stop leaving them in.

If I have a comfortable pair in, I leave it in for a long time. I have noticed that for the first day or so when I change them, one of my ears gets sore, so once I am past that, I stay that way. I cannot wear dangly earrings at some of my jobs, and I just get way too lazy to change real often.My mental picture of me is in large, exotic earrings, but that does not happen much anymore. I just have these sterling silver studs, and I wear them almost all of the time. Even sleeping.

Thanks for best response. I just gave my hubby a tickle, told him I was going to bed with a silver stud. LOL

I don't use earrings I only use a necklace and I find it quite uncomfortable to sleep with it on.I take it out before going to sleep because one or two times it was seen broken when I got at the morning.So I think most of the people wearing ornaments like necklaces earrings etc. take it out before going to sleep.

If I'm wearing a necklace, I always take it off before bed also. I don't like anything around my neck while I sleep.

I have 4 earrings and never take them out. I would just end up losing them if I did. I've had them for over 20 years and have never had any problems leaving them in and have never had any discomfort by sleeping in them.

The only earrings I have worn to bed was when I use to wear studs. Anything else I always remove.

I used to like to wear my earrings to bed. I have two pierced holds in each ear and the upper one seems to get irritated when I sleep in earrings. So if I start the night out with them on, before the night is over, I will have them taken out.

I don't have any piercings, but went to an acupuncturists who stuck a needle in an upper inside of my ear and glued a small ball over the hole. I was to massage it when I was stressed. It worked but after a day or so my oily skin caused it to come off. I asked if there was a ball on a stem that could be used to do the same thing, but he did not know of one that would work.

I too tend to leave my earrings in for many days at a time. I only change them when I think of it or if I am going somewhere special. I may also change them before bed if they are ones that poke and hurt. I also won't sleep in my "good" earrings.

I have had pierced ears for a long long time and I do not sleep with any type of dangling earings on. Sleeping with dangles could get hooked on the pillow or night clothes and rip you ear. I have worn post earings to bed but they seem so poke me in the back of my head. I have recommended to my daugher not to wear any earings to bed but put them in in the morning. This also alows your ears some breathing time as well as you time to clean your earings.

I don't have earrings.
:) I wouldn't think it would be safe if my wife had them too, as she does move around a lot and our son has the habit of grabbing things lol

I used to sleep with my earings on, though I took them out and cleaned the posts and my ears first. I used to have trouble with the holes closing up, so I had to sleep with them in. I eventually stopped wearing them because I had too much trouble with them, even though they were 14k gold.

I am wishing I had taken them out because now I cant find them! Oh well live and learn!
