I have to find my glasses. If your vision was so bad as mine that you can't find your own glasses, and you're two days out of work because they fell behind the night stand and you can't see to find them, you'd understand..
That doesn't sound super optional
The optional part was whether I wear my glasses while I sleep, as I usually have all my life, or place them on the nightstand..
I thought you were going to say the optional part was the missing work for 2 days rather than wear your spare pair.
I only came across a spare pair like 2 weeks ago, so I totally understand the confusion.
Do you have a container on your nightstand to hold your glasses? Something big enough it's unlikely to fall behind the table, that helps position them the same way every time so you won't smudge the lens when you're feeling for them?
No. That just makes me more likely to lose my glasses. I usually just wear them, 24/7..
I feel you, dude. Sleep is the only time mine aren't on my face and I keep them grabbable, but I don't want to squish them rolling over in my sleep.
I'm known to roll around in my sleep. And I've accidentally knocked my glasses off of my nightstand, apparently with my blanket, and couldn't find them for days.
On more than one occasion no less. Do you know how difficult it is to get anyone to help you find your glasses when everyone else thinks you're full of shit?
My vision is like 20/500 without glasses.
I'm sorry your peeps are such assholes. I don't have anyone to help me look, but at least nobody is making it worse. I have a big bright blue box to shut mine in, because if a nighttime earthquake knocked it away I think I could find it by flashlight. (And a flashlight hanging on every doorknob!)
I do have a bright blue case, but that's where I keep my emergency backup glasses. That stays at home though, every time I lose my glasses seems to be when I'm staying the night at a friend's place..
Mildly interesting update..
I wish the glasses case was neon yellow instead, because apparently blue is impossible to find in the dark. ๐คทโโ๏ธ

I think a hard case is best in case of stepping on it when looking for it
