Are you talking about Acuvue Oasys
contact lenses? If so, it should be okay to sleep in them overnight, but if your doctor tells you to take them out every night, that's what you should do, weird working schedule or not. Maybe there's something about your particular eyes that's different from most.
I had an experience where I was not taking my prescription medication on a regular basis. I told my doctor, who is generally a very friendly man, that my erratic work schedule was making it hard for me to take my medicine regularly. He told me "Take your medicine when you're supposed to. I don't give a #*%$ what your schedule is."
That was clear enough. Your eye doctor may tell you the same thing.
