Hi,
In my opinion, if the surgery was successful, the brace could be taken off during sleep. However, this should be confirmed by the treating Doctor. You should discuss with him about the discomfort that the brace causes during the sleep.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
