Count me in as one of those people who in their late teens/early 20's wore my contacts longer than the recommended time - slept in them when I wasn't supposed to, wore them for longer than 5 days, etc etc. Now I find I can't wear them for very long without feeling irritation. I actually can't remember the last time I put in contacts - I even wore glasses at my wedding. I'm tempted by laser surgery, but just can't get over the risks and that I'll be back in glasses (though with a much less prescription) in 10 years anyways.
I remember as a 16 year old spending HOURS trying to get the contacts in and out, but after a few weeks it was second nature. So don't let that dissuade you, you do get used to the insertion quite quickly.
