Is it safe to sleep with teeth whitening strips in?

Best to follow the: Manufacturers recommendations for optimal results and least side effects. Overnight ones usually require custom trays and a lower concentration gel available through your dentist. Hope this helps.

No: I would not recommend it. The strips could move and you have no control over that. For that reason i would want you awake for the bleaching.

No: These strips do not adhere well enough for night time use. You may inhale a strip into your lung or may swallow one in which case it may get stuck in your esophagus or throat. To be honest, these strips lose their effectiveness after an hour. Please use them only when awake.
