Napping in Focus Daily

Is it okay to take a short, two hour nap with Focus Daily contact lenses in? How long before a "nap" becomes risky?

I have. I've even fallen asleep and slept for a night with them in. The key is to not to make a habit of it, since continually sleeping in Daily contacts can cause serious harm to your eyes.

I don't know about you, but I try to be very careful and spell out every detail of contact lens care here. Based on some of the comments I've read here on Lens 101, people will take what you say at face value and if you don't explain every possible risk, someone's going to get hurt. I'm afraid someone will look at the first few words of this post and say "Well that guy on Lens 101 sleeps in his Focus Dailies, I guess I can too, every night."

Do you think I'm being unfair?
