Yes—sleeping with a tampon in is common. The main thing is to follow the package directions and remove it within 8 hours; if you usually sleep longer, use a pad or period underwear instead. Changing to a fresh tampon before bed and after you wake up can make it easier to keep track.

Toxic shock syndrome is rare, but it’s one reason not to leave a tampon in longer than recommended. If you develop a sudden high fever, vomiting, a rash, or feel faint while using one, remove it and seek urgent medical care.
