Watch while sleeping?

Hello fellow Crunchers,

I am wondering: Do you guys wear a watch while sleeping? Personally I only take my watch off to shower and for Sports but other than that I wear it all day long, even when sleeping. I tend to wake up a few times a night and I like to have a watch with lume to see what time it is and see that I have a few more hours of sleep.

It’s on 24/7 that’s why i predominantly wear divers 👍🏻

·

Taking off my watch is one of my signals to my body that it's bedtime.

·

Never, unless I’m sleeping during the day. When I go to bed so do my watches, straight into my watch box. 😴

Those who wear a Rolex to bed experience better REM sleep.

I always wear a watch to bed, I sometimes even switch to watch with tritium so it's even more readable.

Turn restless sleeping into watch winding!

Rolex owners are such Shiny Happy People.

No...I might not wake up if I flail my arms in the middle of the night and hit my wife with my Seiko Orange Monster

·

I feel naked without my watch, so I guess that means I sleep in the buff.

·

I always wear whatever is on my wrist out of my collection to bed

·

Usually yeah because I usually wear really light digital and I usually have an alarm on them. Plus then I get the joy or waking up in the middle of the night, seeing its like 2 am and get to think, I got 3 more hours of snooze

·

I sometimes sleep with my Apple Watch on, but never with my mechanical pieces.

·

This gets asked from time to time. My answer is no. I hardly wear watches inside the house at all. Let alone while sleeping. It just seems like pointless behaviour to me, and one more thing to think about.

·

Maybe if I'm taking a nap, but I always take it off at night. I often pick out my watch for the next day before going to sleep though, in which case I'll charge the lume and leave it in eyesight of wherever I'm sleeping.

·

Always. I use a Casio with a vibrating alarm to make sure I wake up on time

·

I wear two watches during the day (normal type and my Galaxy watch). And yes I wear two at night. Galaxy tracks my sleep patterns and I typically will have one of two Casio's (rotation). When I was younger I would always take my watch off before heading to bed. They are part of my DNA at this point. I take it seriously🤣😂

·

No way! Am I the only one to afraid I’ll knock it on the nightstand or scratch it getting something from the refrigerator half asleep? Also, waking up with a 1:1 impression of my watch on my forehead isn’t ideal.

·

I did this twice. I don't trust myself, even less so when I'm in a fairytale land and have no conscious control over my actions. I'm worried that I scratch a case, bezel or crystal while I dream about whatever my brain forgets two minutes after I wake up. For telling the time, I have a vintage mechanical Kienzle travel alarm clock. It does everything I can ask for (except wake me up; the alarm mainspring either needs a service or replacement, so I get about ten seconds of ringing before it dies.) It also ticks louder than a jet plane taking off, which took a bit of getting used to. Ask me how I know, because, no joke, I was woken up by a Saab JAS 39 Gripen flying overhead this morning.

What if the fire alarm wakes you up and you have to grab your family and evaluate? I'm I supposed to go back into a burning building to get my watch 😜?

I'm double-wristing and double-ankling in that scenario!

I wear an expensive alarm watch when I go to sleep.. Applewatch

Fact: Rolex invented REM sleep.

I'm trying hard not to, specially when I wear a metal bracelet. Reason - couple years ago my ex-girlfriend got her hair in the bracelet in the middle of the night. Well, I'm not a calm sleeper and I can move really erratically and fast in my sleep. I even woke up once to me smashing pillow with my right fist. So I think you got what happened after my exe's hair stuck in the bracelet. I've made a 180 turn, with a speed and momentum. I was so ashamed of this situation that I got another watch on a leather strap and I've been wearing leather straps only for almost 3 years.

My wife has a gorgeous long, thick, wavy hair and wearing the watch in my sleep is basically asking for trouble.

But sometimes I'm so tired that I forget to take the watch off my wrist. I've been sleeping with my watches since 9 years old and habit this old is really hard to break.

I like wearing my Apple Watch to track my sleep. Wear mechanical watches when awake. I need to feel a watch on my wrist all the time.

·

I wear two... always, except in the shower 🚿

·

My wrists swell when I sleep. Don’t wear a watch or my ring.

·

Always.

I used to sleep with my watch on but I noticed the watch bands wear out faster. I'm guessing the extended exposure to body heat and skin oils plus friction from the sheets caused the bands to age faster. So, in the interest of making the watch bands last longer, I let the watch rest at night.

I tend to sleep in rather unorthodox positions. Wouldn't want to risk banging my watch somewhere, so I take it off.
