Yes, but why?

Almost anyone can wear compression stockings to bed. Whether you need to wear the stockings is another issue. I generally do not have my patient's wear stockings at night unless they have certain pre-existing medical issues like peripheral artery disease, lymphedema, etc.

Yes, if you so desire. You should perhaps keep in mind that when you are lying down, the venous pressure in your lower extremities is relatively equalized and it is not necessary to have compression when at rest. It is only when you are on your feet (standing, walking, running, etc.) that the veins in your legs are pressurized. If, however, you receive a degree of relief from pain or find some benefit in wearing your hose at night, you most certainly can.

Yes, but I do not recommend it because lying supine relieves venous pressure on its own.

You can wear compression stockings to bed; they function by increasing the venous return by compressing the muscles. When you are supine, the calf venous pump is diminished and compression will aid this.

Yes, you can. All my patients wear their stockings continuously for 3 days after their saphenous ablations. Is there a reason why you want to wear them over night? Make sure you are wearing them under your doctor's guidance to ensure you do not have any contraindications to their use, such as significant peripheral arterial disease (PAD).

Yes, if they feel comfortable. Check with your MD.
