Tired Episode 19 GIF by The Simpsons

Following on from a thread on there, it got me wondering, do you wear nightwear?

Since being an adult, I never have! My PJs are used as loungwear that i may use for transitioning between bathtime and bed

yabu - I do wear nightwear
yaNbu - I do not wear it

PJs are clothes for around the house. I don't wear anything to sleep.

mitogoshi · 05/06/2024 16:33

No, hate clothes in bed. I own tracksuit bottoms and an old y shirt that I use when camping or if I need to sleep on a sofa (not happening now!!!)

PhilosophicalCheeseSandwich · 05/06/2024 16:30

Yeah, usually a nightie. I find I get too sticky if I'm totally naked - sweaty bits stick to each other!

rainbowbee · 05/06/2024 16:29

I sleep naked unless it's freezing or I have platonic company, in which case I wear pj shorts and a t shirt. Can't stand things around my legs in bed. Real pyjamas are lounge wear, not for sleeping in.

As a kid, I had nightgowns, long sleeping t-shirts, and pj sets. As an adult, I wear a baggy tee and pants, regardless of the weather. Never more, never less. I do own some fuzzy, warm pj bottoms, but I only wear those out of bed/for lounging late or early.

chirpystarling · 05/06/2024 16:27

I wear a cami vest and knickers. I get hot and couldn't wear pjs.

Scissorsisters · 05/06/2024 16:14

Naked for preference. Shortie pyjamas if necessity dictates.

OrlandointheWilderness · 05/06/2024 15:54

oh naked here for both me and DP. Can't bear the feeling of PJs in bed. Then we can have naked snuggles too!

user1497787065 · 05/06/2024 15:50

Naked for me too. I read the knickers in bed thread too and thought why?

GalileoHumpkins · 05/06/2024 15:48

(especially from down there!!)
Australia?

I wear a t-shirt and knickers, pyjamas if it's really cold.

SpikeGilesSandwich · 05/06/2024 15:48

I hate sleeping in anything, it's a pain having knickers on for a few days of the month.
I only own pyjamas for hospital, camping or visiting friends. It's more healthy to let your skin breathe and be free.
I can grab my dressing gown if the house is on fire or just jump out of the window naked, it's not a concern.

LifeExperience · 05/06/2024 15:48

I did when my children were at home. I didn't before they were born and I do not now.

stressedespresso · 05/06/2024 15:42

Yuck - the thought of sleeping naked is disgusting to me. Unless you’re washing your sheets every single night then they’re absorbing all of the sweat and bacteria (especially from down there!!) that PJs would.

Averagelife · 05/06/2024 15:40

I think it’s easy to say that you wouldn’t care in an emergency but I know that I would feel very vulnerable if someone broke in and I was naked, the last thing I’d want to be doing is trying to get my leg into my pyjamas.

I was delighted to find a 2.5 tog duvet in ikea recently! I hate being hot in bed , my idea of heaven is warm in bed with a lovely cold breeze blowing over me . I have got worse over the years it’s true , I think I’ve just got used to it . And before anyone mentions it I’m well past menopause and that made no difference anyway.

I've got a 1 tog duvet. It's fab.

Livinginaclock · 05/06/2024 15:35

Always pj's, I'd live in them if I could

Proudofitbabe · 05/06/2024 15:21

Would love to sleep naked but I get cold. Also like PP I think, what if a burglar came in and I was naked? I would defo cope better in any emergency with something on!

Prawncow · 05/06/2024 15:21

I love nightwear. My favourite clothes are nightwear! I’d only sleep nude if the sheets were changed daily and life’s too short for that.

I wear PJs but I have my alarm set for every hour so that I can get up and put on a wash to deal with the grim sweat, germs and drool and put on a fresh pair. Obviously I strip the entire bed too.

hahahaa dying

Can you imagine being in a deep sleep and you wake to find some emergency has happened and not only that but your’e naked! 😄

This is why I wear nightwear.

Edited

If an emergency had happened, the last thing I would be concerned about is the emergency services seeing my jacksy hahaha

BatshitCrazyWoman · 05/06/2024 15:08

I can't sleep wearing any kind of clothes. I'm not a cold person, and anyway, you're under your duvet. I have a dressing gown nearby in case I need to run outside (not ever happened).

If there is an emergency the last thing l would be bothered about is being seen naked. M and D and sister slept naked too, home was relaxed about bodies when we were growing up.

Katemax82 · 05/06/2024 14:22

I've worn nightwear since becoming a mum 18 years ago as I need to be able to get up at a moments notice, also I sometimes sleep in one of my kids beds. The added bonus is my husband doesn't automatically think I'm up for it

ManchesterLu · 05/06/2024 14:05

I do, unless it's really warm in the summer.

We run a business from home and tend to get a lot of deliveries which can start early, so I need to be in a state where I can jump up and open the door if we get a 7am delivery.
