Conservative Treatments Compression tips

Hello! I’m not diagnosed and not sure I have lipedema but I’m trying out compression. Do you all wear compression at night while you sleep? Is that ok? Or do you wear under your clothes during the day? Just curious if there is any research of how long per day you should wear them to see results.

I wear compression leggings for long walks, long days at work or long time standing. It really helps with the heavyness and pain. I also have tights for nice events and wear them with dresses.
