Too hot for a nightie?

[Zig27]

I slept with a 2 tog duvet and a nightie last night but have woke up feeling hot. I don’t know if it’s a health issue or I shouldn’t be wearing a nightie in the summer. My body can get cold at first when I sleep so I like something on but hate waking up hot.

It’s very warm. I fell asleep in the nude just hugging my sheets with nothing covering me last night.

Well, what temperature is your room?

@shouldistop It’s usually 23 degrees at night which is too hot but unfortunately the sun shines on the windows in the day which I keep the curtains closed. I’ll probably just have to sleep with nothing on.

When it’s really hot I take the duvet out and just use the sheet

Just take it off 🤷‍♀️

(Am I being dense here? Not sure what the issue is!)

I can’t sleep naked either but find a skimpy cotton vest and pyjamas with just a duvet cover without a duvet in it work best for me and DH.

Even 2 tog duvets can be too warm.

What did you do last year in the summer? It was very hot then as well.

Cotton vest and shorts pjs for me.

Just use a sheet over you instead of a duvet.

Open the windows in the evening to cool the room.

I’m just using an empty duvet cover to sleep under at the moment. I find I’m hotter if I don’t wear pjs as my legs stick together and feel horrible. I prefer a loose cotton T-shirt and thin pj bottoms.

Thanks for those who have made some helpful suggestions. I don’t know why the passive aggressive trolls make comments on here if they don’t help. I genuinely wanted to make sure I didn’t have a health issue. The solution is remove some layers and cool the room down.

Just take it off
You don't need to ask the internet if you should bare your arse or not

Try just using the duvet cover. I have the same problem.

OP, ignore the twatty comments. Have you thought about a 100% cotton quilt and go in the wash. They can be more temperature regulating than duvets. Even 1 tog duvets can be too warm.

I always sleep with a sheet between me and duvet as I hate having nothing over me. I sleep naked and if I get too hot I kick off the duvet and have a (lovely Egyptian cotton)!sheet

I love sleeping without a nightie, DH doesn't complain either

We'll put!

It's odd because even at 3 I remember my dd telling me it was too hot for pjs and she just wanted to wear her pants and vest. If a 3 year old can determine what to wear why not a grown woman.

Ps I never wear nightwear, completely superfluous in a centrally heated house, saves on washing!

Have you got a fan? I don't like up sleeping naked mainly since my parents got burgled and my dad thumped one of them whilst nude (my mum said it added a comedic twist to a scary experience but still) . I tend to sleep in knickers (cotton boy short type) and a vest

I don't think you know what a troll is.

And, to be fair, it's astonishing that an adult can't determine why they're too hot (in summer!) without consulting an Internet forum.

Eh?? Just cover yourself with less. I have a fan all night

Oh come off it, you haven't said where you live but if it's in England we've had the hottest nights of the year so far this week

The whole country has woken up hot, of course it weird that you can't work out that either fewer layers or some kind of cooling might be the solution.

@Wrotten is right, a troll isn't someone who points out the obvious

Just a sheet and bedroom windows open.

Oooh. I'm not used to being right. @AllThatFancyPaintsAsFair please can you follow me around and comment that I'm right every time I say something?
