Why You Should Take Off Your Jewelry Before Sleeping

According to SAEDNEWS, quoting Rokna, some of the materials used in jewelry, such as nickel, may cause irritation in sensitive skin, itching, and redness, and wearing jewelry throughout the night increases the likelihood of irritation.

Also, continuous use of earrings while sleeping may cause sagging of the earlobes; over the years, they lose their elasticity, and if they are not given nighttime rest, they may become increasingly droopy. Wearing earrings may also lead to an unpleasant odor in the earlobes due to the mixing of skin oils with dead cells and bacteria.

In addition, some women have difficulty removing rings due to swelling of the fingers and hands, as fluid accumulates in the tissues during the night, leading to swelling.

Sleeping with a necklace may also cause it to tangle in the hair or wrap around the neck. Small dangling objects can also wake you up.
