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.

Never ever ever

CeciledeVolangesdeNouveau · 07/12/2023 17:49

Oh goodness, I’d never be able to stand socks.

Re the sheet washing thing, that is stupid. The only time I’ve ever needed to wash a sheet was when I was wearing underwear and pyjamas and had pancreatitis and had unfortunately very liquid diarrhoea. Otherwise it’s going to be fine even if you’re naked for a couple of weeks. Relax.

Sauvblanctime · 07/12/2023 17:30

Yup

also sensory issues around clothes. I cannot stand socks

existentialpain · 07/12/2023 17:25

Naked apart from knickers in summer. Im the winter i wear a nightdress or pjs

KCSIE · 07/12/2023 17:15

Nope, it's far too cold and I like to be cosy. Makes me feel safe.

ManateeFair · 07/12/2023 17:13

i'd have to wash my covers every day it's not hygienic.

What absolute nonsense.

I usually sleep in knickers and a supportive bralette/crop-top but if it's chilly I might wear a massive oversize t-shirt or, if it's really freezing, satin pyjamas. Mainly though I reserve pyjamas for lounging rather than sleeping.

Not naked, but just pants. I can't bear the sensation of pyjamas/nightshirt/whatever rubbing against the sheets. It's too hot, uncomfortable and restrictive. Our whole house sleeps in boxers/pants.

I do wish I could cope with PJs though, I've seen many a beautiful set that I'd love to wear.

Look upon PJs as evening wear and take them off when you go to bed then?

Yes, DH and I both always do.
I used to sometimes put on a t-shirt if cold when I first got in. Maybe socks too! But now we have an electric blanket to warm the bed before we get in so I don't need to. I particularly hate sleeping with knickers or PJ bottoms on. Really uncomfortable!

Mothmansknickers · 07/12/2023 16:45

I've always slept naked. I just can't get comfortable in Pjs. Even a vest top will get on my nerves. I have a few sensory issues though.

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 07/12/2023 16:45

Never, regardless of the weather. I can't get to sleep if I'm not wearing anything - it feels wrong! Not morally wrong Grin, just wrong in a sensory way!

StarlightLady · 07/12/2023 16:44

I swim naked too, where it is possible to do so.

IncompleteSenten · 07/12/2023 16:41

God no.

If there's a fire I want to be rescued, not have the firefighters run away screaming for a therapist.

StarlightLady · 07/12/2023 16:40

@CeciledeVolangesdeNouveau - Surely you could have asked them to allow you a few minutes for a quick shave first 😀?

I'm pleased all turned out OK for you. At a time like that I couldn't care less what state I was in.

CeciledeVolangesdeNouveau · 07/12/2023 16:18

@itsgoingtobeabumpyride just saying, but when I needed resuscitation in hospital neither I nor any of the men who ran in to the room when the code was called gave a damn that my unshaven self was wearing a hospital gown with no underwear and a central line (I think) right at the top of my femoral artery (or vein, it was right next to my genitals anyway).

StarlightLady · 07/12/2023 09:23

I’ve slept naked since my mid teens. Sister the same. I’m not comfortable wearing anything in bed. Only exception is wearing knickers for the first few days of a heavy period.

GingerLiberalFeminist · 07/12/2023 09:08

I used to, but since DC I need to wear a sleep bra. DH isn't impressed with this 😂
If it's cold I wear a nightie, don't like my legs restricted.

Ploctopus · 07/12/2023 09:01

I used to until I moved into a crumbling old house which is perpetually freezing and now I sleep in a fleece 🤣

VioletSkies12 · 07/12/2023 09:00

I never could and surely it means you have to wash the sheets more regularly

MenopauseSucks · 07/12/2023 08:59

Not at this time of the year❄️
otherwise depends who's next to me!

hangingonfordearlife1 · 07/12/2023 08:54

no eew. i'd have to wash my covers every day it's not hygienic. i also have to sleep with pants on. Apart from fact i've got 3 kids i also have a toddler in bed with me.

itsgoingtobeabumpyride · 07/12/2023 08:45

Never sleep naked.
If I ever need rescuing in the night I don't need a fireman to whip back the duvet and say "I ain't touching that" 😂😂

DH sleeps naked and would love it if I did but it's not for me. Feels too cold and vulnerable. Unfortunately it means I'm the one who lets the dogs out and answers the door in the mornings as he has the excuse of being undressed. I'm bundled up in bed with t shirt, pj bottoms, thick socks and a lambswool v neck plus electric blanket on

This!

I wear lots of layers to bed, I'm always freezing 😫

I just find clothes really uncomfortable, think I have sensory issues in general tbh -hate clothes, tags, loud noises. But yeah i have to be utterly freezing to wear pjs, now I have my electric blanket I don’t have that issue thankfully 😂😂 I’d live in my pjs during the day if I could though. I have a hooded blanket on my bed so if I need to get up in the night I quickly thow that on. My friend was like what about burglars, but I guess that nakedness would be the least of my worries in that situation tbh! 😂

Yes for as long as I can remember. Get far too hot in pjs or a nighty.
