Can you sleep in Acuvue Moist contacts?

Used this for years now and they've never let me down. And so great that there's a version for astigmatism which I now use.

Worn for over 10 years. I have never felt uncomfortable wearing these lenses. They are easy to use and even when I have accidentally left them in over night, they give no problems. Delivery became important in Covid years because we moved to a remote area- actually, delivery improved- now my lenses are delivered the next day!
