Is it better to sleep with or without a bra on?

Question

I've heard a lot of different things about it being good or bad to wear a bra at night. People have said that by wearing one, you might have better support as you get older and that it doesn't harm you at all. Other people say that it constricts growth if you wear a bra all the time. So should I wear one when I sleep or not? *I typically wear a sports bra just saying*

There have been some studies that suggest 24/7 bra use is a cancer risk...

The thinking is that bras may restrict lymph flow, which is your body's way of getting rid of toxins. A build up of toxins would increase your chances of getting breast cancer later in life.

It would be best to not wear one to bed to be on the safe side.  A sports bra is probably much safer than a wired one though.

I sleep without a bra.  However, my wife who has large breasts says it is too uncomfortable for her to sleep without one.
