No. I prefer to be unencumbered at night and wouldn't want to smash the watch into the wall - or my wife!

Ditto.

Yes so I can read the time when I wake up during the night which I always do.
Also I love love looking at the lume!

This, but since the lume on my 22 year old GMT II is dead, I switch to a Marathon with tritium microtube lume when I go to bed.

Wow, I am very surprised how many of you wear your Rolex to sleep. The poll is even right now! 17 yes vs 17 no

Nor do I; either sleep whilst wearing a Rolex, or the point of this thread.

To me it's like wearing your contacts or eyeglasses to bed. It's just plain silly.

Yes I do because if I don't wear my Rolex, I am wearing my tracker or Apple watch as I do need to wake up on time. I'd rather wear a mechanical watch than electronic. And I think its sexy to wear nothing but a watch

Depends on where I am and what time it is. If I'm staying somewhere other than my house it stays on my wrist 24/7. If I'm home and it's early enough I fall asleep with it on my nightstand. If Im home and it's super late and all I want to do is pass out, it stays on my wrist lol

I have slept with my Pelagos on. I charged it up in the bathroom before coming to bed because I geek out over the absolutely monster lume. Last night, went to bed before wifey and was starting to drift off with my arms underneath the cotton sheets when I heard "what the heck is that?" It was the lume glowing through the sheets. And then I got smacked.

Now when I travel, I never take my watches off. Never. And that includes the shower or pool.

I can understand doing it in a strange environment.

Otherwise surely we have clock radios these days as you need some kind of alarm to wake up?
