Do you sleep naked?

Nope. I wish I could but my chunky thighs stick together which I find uncomfortable. In the summer I often just wear trousers but no top.

Its been a looooong time since the toddler days for us 😂

Of course. Thats a whole different ball game for some people. I meant in general, alone or with DP. x

Mhm! The times I've worn PJs is because I've had to cosleep with my toddler.

People are so scared of getting into a cold bed! Wriggle about! 😂

Oh, thank you, yes I do sleep nude 95% of the time, so I agree it works!

My DW posted this previously on the thread: But I’ve found sleeping nude has what I call the ‘wet suit’ effect. Your body temperature heats up the bedding rather than overheating in what you’re wearing leading to a nice even temperature. It’s cold for about 3 minutes, then you’re warm as toast. Its not scientifically proven, its just me ☺️

Eh? 😄

When at a stage of breastfeeding that led to leaks, I wore a bra, with pads. When on period I'd wear either a tampon (would change it when i woke in the night) or underwear with pad. Other than that I prefer to be nude as i get hot! No, I used to shower of an evening but now only mornings.

I don’t sleep naked, doesn’t feel hygienic to me. If I’m going to scratch my arse in my sleep I’d rather there was some fabric covering it.

Give in to the 'wet suit' effect! You'll never look back! 😁

Yes. Sometimes I'll go to bed wearing PJs but I nearly always wake up at some point, roasting hot, and have to remove them. No matter how cold the bedroom is.

😂

🤣🤣🤣

I concur with PeanutFlip because she sleeps next me. We both sleep nude, but when her feet are cold she puts them on me. Problem solved....for her 😂

We're well past this stage now, but when DCs were little, some three or four decades go, and inclined to migrate from their own beds to ours in the early hours, they invariably found us clad as nature intended! Although we were never a rampantly exhibitionist household, we were always very open about bodies, and DCs learned from a very early age that birthday suits were likely to be encountered not just in bathrooms, bedrooms and places in-between, but also in beds, and that this was entirely natural and nothing to be ashamed of.

If your DCs are anything like ours, though, the biggest issue is likely to be that once they gain access to your bedroom (and your bed) on their terms rather than yours, they are likely to want to follow your sartorial example, so be prepared for some serious negotiation as to if/when/where/how this is acceptable. It's a phase that passes - bed-hopping toddler offspring grow up into teens, who generally prefer the privacy of their own bedrooms!

*Same with mine, that should have said.

<Wonders if autocorrect ever makes the right choice after a typo...>

Same with money. We had no central heating. In winter, they did use dressing gowns outside of the bed, but only in winter.

I do not miss ice on the inside of the windows.

I’m in my 40s now, but when sister and l were kids, M and D slept naked. Bodies were never an issue at home. Mum used to tell us there was nothing wrong or bad about bodies, but beware of bad prople.

OK another question what if you have young kids that are prone to coming into your bed in the middle of the night? Surely in that phase of life you'd take to at least wearing tshirt and underwear?

I don't know why I'm so curious tbh, I just didn't realise it was such a norm.

I sleep in various states depending on the temperature, my mood etc but when I sleep naked...I no longer have periods (don't get envious, I'd rather have periods back & menopause fuck right off!). I'd wear knickers & a pad,

I couldn't sleep as you do, except when camping, but even then I'd wake in the night far too hot.

always (at least) pants in strange beds (unless, of course, there's a compelling reason to have them removed!!)

It depends on the temperature and the time of the month for me. Dh always sleeps in his birthday suit.

That being said, I sometimes wear socks. My feet get cold no matter what.

Can’t speak for everyone but my answers to your questions are as follows:

When periods strike is the obvious exception. Pants and Tampax! When mother nature attacks your slacks!

I shower regularly but for many years I’ve found I don’t sweat at all when sleeping nude because being nude allows my body to regulate its temperature properly.

As for getting cold, we all run at different temperatures. But I’ve found sleeping nude has what I call the ‘wet suit’ effect. Your body temperature heats up the bedding rather than overheating in what you’re wearing leading to a nice even temperature. It’s cold for about 3 minutes, then you’re warm as toast. Its not scientifically proven, its just me ☺️

For those that sleep naked what do you do when on period or breastfeeding? Also if you sleep naked do you always shower in the evening? So many questions!

I do wear knickers with a pad when on my period.
I nearly always shower or bath before bed, wash the day away before sleep.
