^ Going over the recommended time on contacts is kind of like going over the speed limit all the time. You increase your risk of something bad happening, but you may never have an issue. Infection, inflammation and corneal ulcers are the biggest worries.
If you are sleeping in your contact lenses then you definitely should be sticking with the one month of use. After a month the amount of the oxygen your eye receives will start dropping and your nerves can actually shut down. That means you could be having issues and not even feel them until the lens comes off. When was your last appointment with an Optometrist ?
Having a back up pair of glasses is key. If you get pink eye and can not wear your glasses, then you basically can not drive, work or do anything outside of the house. Buy yourself a cheap pair just in case.
I personally never fit anyone with 30 day overnight lenses. The nastiest infections I have seen have been with them.
