What Are The Side Effects Of Wearing Contact Lens Continuously?

Hi. I wear contacts, and I wear them a lot. I've gotten in the bad habit of wearing them constantly, and not taking them out most nights. I took them out tonight, and my eyes feel weird. Like, whenever I blink, my eyes feel like there's something missing, and it hurts a bit. Why is that happening?
