No, it is not recommended to sleep with a tampon in. Tampons should be changed every 4-8 hours, and leaving them in for longer than 8 hours can increase the risk of toxic shock syndrome (TSS), a rare but potentially life-threatening bacterial infection.
Sleeping with a tampon in can also increase the risk of leakage and discomfort, as well as increase the likelihood of developing vaginal dryness or irritation. It is best to use pads or menstrual cups for overnight protection, or consider using a tampon with the lowest absorbency level possible if you prefer using tampons.
Remember to always read and follow the instructions on tampon packaging, and to wash your hands before and after inserting or removing a tampon to reduce the risk of infection.
