It can get your eyes dried out for a while. Doing it once or twice is okay , but try not to .
You can but you shouldn't. To stay healthy your eyes need access to fresh air. Contact lenses are designed to let air through but they should be removed daily to give your eyes a chance to rest. When your eyes are shut and you have contacts on, you get less air to your eyes. If you accidentally fall asleep wearing contacts, and everybody does, remove them when you wake up, clean them, and then let your eyes rest for a few hours before wearing them again. I suppose that if you were an emergency worker who had to wake up and be able to see instantly, you could put your contacts in just before sleeping. In this case you should be careful to limit the total number of hours that you wear contacts in any day.
If you always sleep with your lenses in you are more at risk of developing a bacterial eye infection.

I've done this before! So, if you sleep with your contacts in, you usually wake up to dry, itchy, red eyes. I watch tv before i go to sleep every night, and usually 2 times a week i fall asleep with them in! This is a bad habit. Anyways, if your like me, you usually wake up in the middle of the night with itchy and dry eyes! It burns your eye, and trust me it does hurt! What to do: As soon as you've woken up, your vision will be blurry; immediately drop 1 or two drops of eye solution into each eye. Wait a few minutes, as the contacts will soften. DO NOT TRY AND TAKE THEM OUT WITHOUT DOING THIS STEP. IT MAY CAUSE SERIOUS OR PERMANENT DAMAGE TO YOUR CORNIA. After you have done this, gently remove each contact. Either throw them away, or let them soak in eye solution for about 4-6 hours before wearing again. Wash your eyes out once more, and apply cold or heat packs to them for 10 minutes. (which ever feels better on your eyes.) After about 10 minutes, the stinging will fade and your vision will be as it usually is without contacts. I suggest wearing you glasses for the rest of that day, so your sore eyes can rest. I hope this helped you! I've been there done that! :]
Contacts are suppose to be taken out every night before you sleep so you can clean them. Why do you think that there are so many brands of contact lens solution whether it is rub/no rub if you are not required to clean them every night? Also there are disposables contacts too (for those who donesn't like the idea of cleaning)
If you can sleep in them, the contact lens manufacturers would have created something different without the hassle.
Happened to me the over night, well I'm not sure if it matters with monthly or two weekly contacts, but mine are just daily ones, so it didn't really matter about the actuall lenses but my eyes felt fine. There is also sleepers which is contacts you can sleep with that you just take out to clean once a day :)
