What Type Of Contact Lenses Should I Get? (overnight, Extended, Daily?)?

I think I’d like to get contact lenses, but I want to know which kind to use.
I love the idea of overnight extended use contacts (so I don’t have to take the contacts out at night, and I can wear the same contacts for 2 weeks or so). What are these like? Are they comfortable?
What type of contacts do you use, and why?
I have weak long-sightedness (just +1 in each eye) and slight astigmatism in each eye. My current optometrist told me to just wear my glasses for reading. But my friend who is a trained/registered optometrist but is not currently practising suggests I wear my glasses all the time, because I complain of frequent headaches and eye-strain. In the last month I’ve been doing this and feel more comfortable if I wear my glasses all the time. But I don’t want to have to do this, so I’d like to get contact lenses instead.
