Can you wear traction device if needed for 8+ hours while sleeping or it needs to be paused after every 2 hours? Your expiriences?

Do not exceed 2 hrs if it is the noose type.  The suction cups on the glans type can be worn by for hours at a time.  Always take a break if becomes painful.

Just my 2 cents but no way I would recommend that. If you move wrong way in your sleep you will regret it. Also, should take break even with suction every couple hours. Too many bad things could happen while you're sleeping.

Suction cups can usually be worn many hours.  I would encourage caution when sleeping, and if doing it strap around the waist so the tension stays consistent vs the leg which changes tension when leg is moved.
