I take it off when I play bass, since it interferes with my fretting.

I take it off when I go to sleep, because it's just a touch big, and could slip off (same finger situation as you).

I also just took it off to mail back to the designer, since the gold inlay (it's a titanium ring) just split. Trying to get it fixed. So it's a moot point for the next few weeks for me, I guess.

Oh, I'd also highly recommend taking it off while loading heavy equipment on flatbed trucks. I didn't, and almost lost a finger, once. If you get it caught on something and it moves...not good.
