Waiting for refinements to arrive. many people on the net wear last tray only at night in meantime. dentist said 22hrs, but seems excessive?

Follow directions: Your dentist is treating you, not the "net". If your teeth happen to shift while waiting for your new set of aligners, then more impressions will be needed and your treatment will be prolonged. Not good for either you or your dentist.
