Hi there. I am wondering. Does anyone sleep with their Ling ? I take mine off and store it on my bed-side table. Crown up. (Can't remember which position slow it down again. I think it's crown up)

I've got mixed emotions about this. I don't see any point sleeping with my watch on. The lumen isn't good enough so I can see the time at night. There's no point really. I think if you have a Quarts watch with a light I could probably understand. I also remove my watch when doing any DIY around the house.

I know what you mean. If I don't have my watch on in the day time I feel naked

When I walk out the door of my home I have a watch on. When I return home, I place my watch on the winder safe and sound.

Not torn here as I never wear a watch to bed. Tried it, but it's too uncomfortable. Besides our bedroom is lit up like a Christmas tree with radio alarm clocks and iPhones at the ready. So really, I don't need to.

Camped once in the great outdoors and wore my sector mountain master to bed. Woke up with it digging into my head at about 3am. Great!

Not normally but it has been known to happen and when it does, chances are that besides the watch, I'm also sleeping with my clothes on on the couch ( or the dog house) due to something I may have consumed one too many of that night. Thankfully it is not a regular occurrence.

If the watch is Cosc certified surely it doesn't matter if you sleep with it on as it is tested in 5 different positions one of them being crown up.

I'm not asking the question for the sake of keeping the watch moving at night. It's purely for interest sake.

I guess just a habit, but i already wear a watch when heading to bed. I guess for me, feels weird not sleeping with one. (obviously, not sleeping with my breitling but just a seiko i have)

There's no way on Earth could I sleep with a watch on. I don't feel dressed without a watch on during the day, but I don't want to feel dressed when I go to bed, so the watch comes off! :)

I always sleep with my watch on my wrist. Reason: I wake up usually early at dawn and wanna see what the time is, is there enough left to fall asleep again or time to get up. Using a LED clock or my handy or anything else is not suitable as I need my glasses for this - thus waking myself completely up, while I see my good lume watches without glasses. Best here is my IWC Aquatimer Chrono Cousteau ref. 376706 with a fantastic lume. The watch comes off my wrist is only when showering and - well - when I'm in my bed - and not sleeping. :)

The only thing I've been considering to replace the Cousteau with when sleeping is an Aerospace because of the minute repeater. If it's sound is dim enough not to wake up wifey it may be the solution to wear the Aerospace only for sleeping and keep the Cousteau for the rest. To be decided yet 'coz I do not like completely crown-operating the functions of the Aerospace.
