Can I keep my MacBook Air in "clamshell mode" (closed at all times) when connecting to my external monitor?

I have an M2 Macbook Air, and 99% of the time, I use it connected to my external monitor via HDMI through an apple adapter. I was just wondering, if it would be ok to keep it in clamshell mode, meaning closed, while connected to my external monitor, and almost all the time without opening it?
