Oh, I wear all my earrings to bed, definitely. I have hoops and studs. I have had pierced ears since I was in elementary school so I honestly don't remember what it was like at first, but maybe you're just not used to it? You might just have to wear them and get used to it. I have had a lot of different earrings in my ears through my life and none have been uncomfortable. That would be SUCH a hassle to take them out each and every night. I find taking out my contacts to be a nuisance enough, nevermind my earrings.
