Hi it's simple , since you have astigmatism alone , wear the glasses regularly and continuously
1) not wearing will not make the power worsen , u will develop ending up in head ache , eye strain etc
2) better inside the home wear glasses
If not comfortable with glasses can try contact lens when you are out side

Not wearing glasses is okay. The only problems of not wearing glasses are eye strain, asthenopia, mild headaches, and of course blurry vision.
So it's your choice to wear them or no.
Wearing or not wearing glasses, does not really impact progression of refractive Error.
