Is it safe to wear ankle brace overnight?

Yes but why: You could wear it at night but the chances of harming or twisting your ankle while you are sleeping is pretty slim.

IT'S SAFE: It's safe, but you really don't need to do so. It's more for support and stability when you walk. Sincerely, Dr. Latva
