Question about contact lens.

I bought disposable contact lens today and this is my first time wearing it. I am unable to put it inside my eyes. It feels like the size of the lens is greater than my eyeball. Is it possible to talk with my doctor to get a new size or all the lenses are the same size?

And can I take quick naps of say 5mins while having my contacts in? And can I re-use it if i remove it for 5 or 10 mins?

It is not recommended to sleep (or nap) with contacts, especially not the ones that don't fit you!
If it is a daily lens you should throw it away ones you take it out.

You should visit an optometrist or an eye doctor for a proper fitting for contacts.
I think if the lens not at your eyeball size then you should need proper recommendation from the physician ...
