To think that people who wear PJs outside haven't actually slept in them?

I have seen much discussion about the public wearing of PJs and it has made me curious. I haven't worn PJs in bed apart from on very cold nights and when in someone else's house in case I need the loo in the night ( and then it's a nightshirt) since I was a child. Are people really actually sleeping in the sort of night attire some report seeing people wearing in Tesco's? I can't imagine going to bed with my DH in a big, fleecy onesie or fleece PJs.
Do a lot of people wear PJs in bed? Am I unusual?
I rather thought the modern PJ wearers were having 'duvet' days and didn't change to shop, not that they'd slept in it. I thought PJs were just the new casual, loaf around the house wear, but some posters definitely seem to think people actually sleep in them. Do they?

I would hope that public pj wearers haven't slept in them.
Tbh, it's difficult sometimes to discern what is nightwear and what is lounge/sportswear.

I always wear pyjamas in bed, whatever the temperature. However, they aren't big, fluffy things - I'd be boiling in something like that under a duvet! I have never worn pyjamas out of the house though, and I don't wear them to lounge around the house either. They are for bed only. I suspect some publuc pyjama wearers do sleep in them and some don't.

I don't sleep in clothing.
I don't have "pjs" either though, I prefer linen drawstring trousers and a hoodie or sweatshirt round the house.

It takes as much time to put on leggings and a jumper as it does pyjamas, so yes, they probably have slept in them. And yes, of course people sleep in pyjamas, they are hardly a modern invention.
