In most cases, a hernia belt is only worn during the day. There is no need to wear it while sleeping. Your hernia doesn't come out much when you're sleeping. The abdominal pressure naturally decreases while sleeping.

But during the days you must wear the belt at all times. If you do not wear it frequently, the size of the hernia will keep on increasing, and you will have to go for surgery.

In some cases, the doctor may recommend wearing the belt even at night. The most common cause is night-time cough. Due to coughing, the pressure in the stomach increases, and the intestines come out.
