I wonder if they discussed the types of bras.
You do know there are different types of bras that each support us differently, aside from the quite-obvious miracle and push-up bras? I can't imagine, since there are no muscles
in the breasts themselves, how they could atrophy as long as the night bra is comfortable. The supporting muscles and pecs wouldn't seem to be impacted unless they were in a push-up 24//7.
A search turned up medical responses on both sides. Even found this on a brassiere manufacturer's site:

Sagging is related to other issues that have nothing to do with bra wearing, such as
Breast fat and tissue composition
Softening of breast ligaments and a loss of breast tissue through aging
Pregnancy

Who knows? Either way, I believe the night bra (something like
this) in question offers minimal support and should be harmless.
