Truth: This thing is completely wrong that Rudraksha should be removed while sleeping, if a person wears Rudraksha while sleeping then he will get good sleep, there is no worry and if there is any negativity then he will not get bad dreams and there is protection from negativity, hence one should wear Rudraksha while sleeping.
