Yes I have lymphadema so I wear the sleeve to bed as I tend to sleep on the affected side which makes my arm worse in the am.  Someone told me wearing it to bed is unsafe for my heart. Wondering who can put a face on this question.

Do you have lymphedema? If so, there are several styles, some for sleeping.
