You’ll be fine😭 nothing magically happens when you sleep that makes tampons somehow dangerous. 8 hours is 8 hours. Set an alarm and change it in the morning.

I sleep in tampons on day 1-3 and I either 1) wake up when it’s full every 2-4 hours or 2) wake up because either I have to pee or my dog has to pee.

Again, 8 hours is 8 hours. What you do in that 8 hours does not change that. You’re not any more at risk while sleeping than any other 8 hours of wearing a tampon. If it’s causing you anxiety, there’s nothing wrong with removing the tampon. But it’s really not going to hurt you.
