Hey! Saw your comment on Warren Ellis' website (here: http://www.warrenellis.com/?p=7572). Nice!

Also, when I was in 9th grade, I slept with my contacts in all the time. And I don't have the kind where you can do that, I have to take them out every night. So one day I wake up, and my eye is pink. A few hours after, my whole eye is swollen. A couple of trips to the opthalmologist later, and we find out I had an ulcer in my eye, along with a corneal abrasion, which also got infected and infiltrated my eye. They said my contacts tended to get more brittle overnight (from not being lubricated), and when I woke up in the morning and rubbed my eyes to get the sleep out, my contact actually cut my cornea. It was gross.

Needless to say, I don't ever sleep with my contacts in anymore. And I'd recommend you'd learn my lesson as well, instead of having to deal with it on your own.
