Johns Hopkins Medicine answered:

No, the cochlear implant will probably come off while you're sleeping and could get damaged. It is recommended that you remove the device prior to going to bed. If you live alone, consider getting additional assistive listening devices to alert you if necessary in the middle of the night.
