Port Question

For those who have used a port, did you leave it accessed overnight? I want to try leaving it in overnight when I am doing a 10 day tratment cycle. However, I am uncomfortable with the tubing that hangs down. I fear I may pull it while I am sleeping. Any effective tricks people found to secure the tubing while sleeping? So far my solution has bern to sleep sitting up, but I would prefer my own bed.
