I heard it from a few friends, but also heard a designer saying that wearing a bra as much as possible was the best to do to prevent sagging. i m kindof puzzled... Anyone????

I haven't heard of anyone getting cancer while wearing a bra to bed but you might cut off your circulation which isn't good for your body.
It's a myth wearing a bra @ night preventing sagging breasts.
Sagging breasts (medical term is PTOSIS) is caused by gravity, the expansion / contraction with pregnancy, stretching of the suspensory tissues and aging skin. As the glands atrophy after hormones have changed, the breast also tend to flatten.
Unless you sleep standing up, a support bra should not really help long term to prevent further sagging at night. Taking care of yourself, using a support bra during the day and vigorous activities limit this problem to a certain degree. We do not have enough information if the weightless conditions of space may be of benefit or if other factors become issues. Time will tell, but only few are getting only limited exposure to this option so far." :)

I have heard that wearing a bra more often prevents sagging. I never heard that it increases the risk of breast cancer though. I really don't think so.

it does prevent sagging as it holds ur boobs in place, i'm not sure about the cancer bit though... if ur bra is too tight it might not help with the blood circulation (... cut the blood circulation)... but if u have big ones like me lol i don't bother wearing a bra at night hehe

They have tested this theory and no it does not cause breast cancer. Do wear a bra during waking hours.

no it doesn't increase the risk of breast cancer. Just prevents saggy boobs.

Your friends lied to you. I heard that same rumor when I was younger, but it isn't true. Don't believe it.
