How do you leave your Rolex at night

Was wondering how people leave their watches at night; whether there were any adverse effects to movements in different orientations etc. Fully prepared for some comedy / tongue in cheek replies.

Here’s how I do it, I like to charge up the lume with a UV torch and I lay it down on it’s side so if I need to check the time during the night it’s the right way ‘up’.

Thoughts?

Crown down eh? Do you sleep on the other side of the bed to me or is there another reason?

I also close the clasp. Takes up less space.

I put the stickers back on the case, place the hang tags around the bracelet, add the extra links back on of course, tuck it into its box and place it back into the vault but not before I give it a kiss goodnight.

Why would a watch be uncomfortable?

Depends how it's running. Dial up if slow, crown up if fast.

I tuck it in a warm blanket, say our bedtime prayers, sing a lullaby and kiss it goodnight.

That is too precariously close to the edge for my anxiety!

I use a watchbox.

Why are people so averse to wearing watches at night? I often double watch at night, strapping on my Apple Watch for sleep tracking.
