*Sigh* Looks like my work here is NOT done.

It's not a good idea to go on a forum like this and say "It doesn't harm to sleep in them" if you're not an eye doctor or some other such expert on contact lenses and/or eye health. It DOES do harm to your eyes. Again, that's why they're called "dailies," and not "change them whenever you feel like it." If you don't want to be bothered with taking your contacts out when you go to sleep, then get the kind approved by your eye doctor for overnight wear. If your doctor tells you, "You have extraordinarily healthy eyes. Go ahead and sleep in your Focus Dailies", then fine. If not, don't risk it.
