It should result in noticably more suppleness and shininess of the glans and adjacent mucosa within a few weeks. Some guys get so sensitive they don’t want to leave the house without the retainer, but if you stop wearing it, your state will revert.
If you sleep with a retainer on then the nocturnal erections will either give your skin a good stretch, force the retainer off, render the retainer imbalanced and uncomfortable (enough to wake you), or - with a very VERY slight probability - impede your erection and cause something bad to happen like a rupture of your corpus cavernosa, so you should test any sleep technique while awake and erect first.
