wear from wearing vs a winder?

I'm still learning about mechanical watches (have had a mix of mechanical and quartz in the past) but I'm curious if there's any measurable value to wearing a watch (in my case a 136660) 12-18 hours per day then taking it off while I sleep and letting the mainspring unwind a bit or if that produces something of a "memory" in the spring that could, down the road a ways, take a bite out of the power reserve? I don't think it's an exact analogue, but with the batteries in my portable power tools, I run them all the way flat then recharge vs topping them off on the charger and I'm curious if the mainspring in a 3235 behaves the same way.
