No. [u]Compression sleeves[/u] put constant pressure on your circulatory system. While this level of pressure may be safe during exercise, it is too much for your body at rest.
 
Do not wear compression sleeves or socks while sleeping.
 
When you’re lying down, or not moving around, your veins don’t have to fight gravity. They don’t have to work very hard to get the blood back to your heart. So, your circulatory system doesn’t need the extra pressure.
 
Pressure applied to your veins when you are resting can block your circulation. This can cause a pooling of blood in that area and lead to a blood clot known as a deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
 
This is why it’s not safe to wear your calf sleeves when you sleep. Even if you are wearing them to help you recover after an athletic event, big training session or injury.
