Why can't it be used for sleeping?

This absorbs sweat amazingly well. I sweat a lot and there appears to be a saturation point where it becomes fully saturated so it will then get a hat wet from sweat if wearing one. It should not be covered up since it breathes due to the semi-porous material. Similarly, I would think that it would be okay to wear for sleeping (I never thought of that and may try that myself now since I always sleep with a pillow over my head) but if you sweat a lot, it is semi-porous as mentioned and breathable so it may get the pillow or bed wet eventually unless you don't have your head covered like me. That is my take. Hope this helps. It is a great product due to its sweat absorption and breathability.

Could this be worn like a headband, hanging on neck to protect from the sun?

Yes, it can be worn as a headband and would prevent direct exposure around the neck not sure how much protection over a long period of time though.

How is this worn? The measurements listed are very small to fit around someone's head and tie: Product Dimensions: 0.2 x 6.5 x 5 inches.

Its ties around your head like a regular bandana. I belive the 0.2 is for the dri weat portion in front and then the rest is like a mesh dry weave. I brought 5 of them because tgey actual capture the sweat

Worth it

I bought this to preserve my silk press and it works so well I couldn’t believe it. I have 4C hair and I sweat a lotttt. This headband kept my hair straight after a hard workout. However I don’t think it’d work for something like hot yoga. (I did put my hair in like four pigtails and keep the headband on until it dried)

Keeps your head warm

I am a walker and enjoy winter walking especially.wearing a hat at times make me too heated. I found a similar item at my local hair store and used for years. They no longer carried so i have to find a replacement swiftly. This is more pricey but it does the trick. I have give as gifts to my fellow winter fitness buddies and they loved it as well

Moisture wicking

Got this because I didn't want to pay the price for the GymWrap. The quality and durability of this product is a winner. It definitely does a great job of protecting my natural hair while working out.
