Do you sleep naked?

Was chatting with my friend and I mentioned how I sleep naked, she found this completely shocking which I found quite funny tbh 😂 so just wondered if I’m in the minority or not.

I did not know sleeping naked was as common as this thread suggests! I'm firmly a pyjama wearer as well as thick bedsocks and a hot water bottle for about 2/3 of the year as I'm always cold. But even when hot I'd never sleep naked, it just feels so... naked!

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 cannot sleep in clothes, I get too hot, they annoy me and I just can't be doing it. Naked as the day I was born!

Couldn’t agree more. Go to bed naked, sleep naked, wake up naked. Make our morning coffee naked. Take my (naked) husband coffee naked. When it’s his turn, get served coffee naked by a naked husband! Who could argue with that? 🤣

How do those who sleep naked and have DC get around the issue of DC coming into the bedroom if they're not a 'let it all hang out' type family so to speak? Not trying to be provocative, but I don't have DC myself and have always wondered that.

Seems I’m late to the party. But let me weigh in with ‘naked’! Always naked. There’s no other way to sleep! ☺️

QuinionsRainbow · 14/12/2023 17:15

Birthday suits since age about 10 for both of us. Coupled with 4.5 tog duvet except in the height of summer, when cotton cellular blanket /sheet combo, or just the sheet alone, suffices.

Borborygmus · 07/12/2023 21:25

Always naked. I don't even own any pyjamas, and haven't for at least 27 years.

JosieRay · 07/12/2023 21:13

Always. Can’t bear pyjamas rucking up every time I turn over.

Baublewarble · 07/12/2023 21:07

I can’t bear sleeping in clothes. If I have to because sharing a room I am so uncomfortable. I sleep naked or with pants on.

LlynTegid · 07/12/2023 21:03

A minority yes, but not as rare as say a giant panda or a dry day in Manchester!

Mouse82 · 07/12/2023 20:47

I use to, then we had to evacuate one night due to a fire which involved the local news channels threw on the closest thing to the bed 😳

lurchermummy · 07/12/2023 20:42

Yes unless I'm sharing a hotel room with a friend when I will concede pyjamas!

HoboSexualOnslow · 07/12/2023 20:42

No

AmyDudley · 07/12/2023 20:37

Not at this time of year, last night I went to bed in a nightie, then got up and put on tracky trousers a jumper and thick socks because I was freezing - so about as far from naked as I could be Grin

Moonshine5 · 07/12/2023 20:29

90% of MN claim to sleep naked. 😂

CaptainJackSparrow85 · 07/12/2023 19:40

No. I really hate sleeping without PJs on. I do live in a freezing cold house though.

anythinginapinch · 07/12/2023 19:37

Always.

RheaRend · 07/12/2023 19:34

Nope pjs and 15 tog duvet all year round. Then blankets too in this weather. I am always cold.

therealcookiemonster · 07/12/2023 19:28

no chance. I am very paranoid about cleanliness and the idea of all body parts touching the sheets... just no. Full pajama set. sometimes a jumper too if I am particularly cold.

Ardith · 07/12/2023 19:11

Yes, haven’t worn nightwear since i was 19.

If I try to sleep in a Tshirt I wake up drenched in sweat 🤷‍♀️

Torganer · 07/12/2023 18:51

No issue with nakedness, but an electric blanket and a fan?!! Does seem a bit wasteful. Just use extra blankets and open the window. I’m guessing you have a toasty newish house. We have an Edwardian ice palace and I wear woollen base layers and cashmere socks!!

Gwenhwyfar · 07/12/2023 18:27

No, but my room is about 10 degrees.

mydogisthebest · 07/12/2023 18:10

Yes me and DH have slept naked for the 43 years we have been married.

I hate the feeling of pyjamas or nighties when I am trying to sleep and they twist round your body.

Also wearing anything would make me too hot. We have a 4.5 tog duvet all year round and don't have the radiator on in the bedroom. I usually wake in the night because I am too hot!

shivawn · 07/12/2023 17:56

Just knickers usually. Occasionally a t-shirt. Especially now that I'm breastfeeding a newborn during the night it's much easier and more comfortable to have no top on.

CeciledeVolangesdeNouveau · 07/12/2023 17:53

*wash a sheet after one day. I obviously do it every week or so in normal life.
