I've been using extended wear lenses for the past 5 years or so. They are designed for sleeping in, so in theory, I could use a pair for 30 days then replace. In reality, I've managed 3 consecutive nights at a push before my eyes get drier.
Noticed yesterday in in need of more contacts. Think I'll ask if there's something like this available rather than dailies.
I take it you don't get the sticky goo glueing your eyes shut in the morning like you do if you forget to remove a pair of dailies?

I wear contacts most days but still use non-scrip cycling glasses/sunglasses as wind/grit protection. I've been using extended wear lenses for the past 5 years or so. They are designed for sleeping in, so in theory, I could use a pair for 30 days then replace. In reality, I've managed 3 consecutive nights at a push before my eyes get drier. On cycling holidays I wear my glasses in the evenings and carry a small bottle of solution during the day.
As schnelly said above, eye hygiene is very important when wearing contacts.
Give them a try and see how you get on.
