Do i need to wear my eyeglasses 24/7?

No: You wear glasses to see better. Wear them when you want to see better. Not wearing them will not harm your eyes or your vision.

No: Of course you will remove them when sleeping. When you wear your eyeglasses you will see better but there is no harm or change in the power of the eyes when you don't wear them You certainly don't need them 24/7
