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.

New account or nc? Late night post. Asking women whether they sleep naked. 🤔

*to the gig. We’re great friends and have such a laugh together but we’re so different, I’m always shocking her with things that are completely normal to me. She thinks I’m crazy because I sleep with an electric blanket on but have my fan blowing on my face for example. It was her reaction to it that just made Me laugh, she was completely aghast 😂

Doesn't bother me to be asked this question by the way, not like you can see me or have any idea what I actually look like etc. I also sleep naked cos I can't stand how pajamas or nighties roll up when you're sleeping. Much easier to sleep naked and do same as you OP- cosy blanket and fan on too. And snuggle up to DH for any extra warmth. I would like one of those long old fashioned white nightdresses though if I'm totally honest, but purely for flouncing around the house in rather than sleeping.

Seems strange to me as well.

Hadalifeonce · 07/12/2023 01:12

I used to, but that stopped after the children arrived, I wasn't too comfortable roaming around settling DC in the middle of the night naked.

Pinkpinkpink15 · 07/12/2023 01:14

Mostly, though this time of year when I still feet too hot to be bundled up in the duvet I tend to wear a tshirt & push the duvet down to my waist.

Ghastly thought but naked starfish all summer & naked under the duvet in winter.

steff13 · 07/12/2023 01:15

I do. I wear pajamas if I'm staying in a hotel or at a friend's house or something though.

OzziePopPop · 07/12/2023 01:33

DH and I both do, I’ll wear pjs if it’s incredibly cold, but the other 360 days a year I do without!

Psychoticbreak · 07/12/2023 01:34

Yeah I do. I like to get up in the morning and put comfy clothes on and feel warmer then but certainly dont sleep in them.

EBearhug · 07/12/2023 01:46

There have been loads of threads on this in the past.

Usually naked, except when it cold enough to need pyjamas (like last week) or if I'm away from home.

TheNestedIf · 07/12/2023 01:47

Draughty! 😬

LittleMissSunshiner · 07/12/2023 02:12

YANBU

I used to sleep naked when living with partners.

Not when sharing with flat mates, even so just thin flimsy things.

Then I had a series of emergencies and weird incidents, lots of them - fires, floods, cats fighting, police / ambulances - that triggered anxiety and made me realise that it serves a person well to be fully dressed in case of needing to run outside. Now I always sleep in knickers, thin bra top, thick PJ bottoms, t-shirts, hoodies, and socks! I'm ready to do a runner at a moments notice. Also I'm cozy and cant sleep without my hood up any more.

God help me if I get a partner again! My ex thought I was odd as I wanted to keep my socks on LOL

Stressybetty · 07/12/2023 02:21

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

TempestTost · 07/12/2023 02:38

Usually, unless it is deeply cold (more than about -150, or dh is away (I am more likely to be cold) or my daughter sleeps in with me (no need to traumatize the poor girl.)

I don't sleep well when I am dressed, it is too frinctiony. I don't know how this makes sense, since the bed-sheets are still on my skin, but it bothers me.

Catsmere · 07/12/2023 04:09

Depends on the weather. I'm never really cold in bed, because Australian winters aren't that cold and I have a cat or two sleeping there even in the hottest weather. 🥵

Spencer0220 · 07/12/2023 04:18

I sleep naked. I have since I was old enough to refuse pyjamas.

DH always wears shorts in case he has to answer the door. He keeps a top on bedside table.

If I'm not at home, I always wear a top. Even when in a care home. Just because staff would pop in and out.

ZoeyBartlett · 07/12/2023 05:11

Yes always. If it's really cold I put some bed socks on.

shearwater2 · 07/12/2023 05:14

No, I have pjs even in summer.

lovinglaughingliving · 07/12/2023 05:24

Always naked and have been since I could take my own jamas off.
If I stay at a friends I just wear pants.

MinnieMountain · 07/12/2023 06:25

I sleep naked. I leave my PJs next to the bed in case I need to go further than the bathroom or DS wants to get in my bed.
DH wears pants as DS is more likely to sneak into his bed during the night.

Sux2buthen · 07/12/2023 06:33

Yes but only because I can't stand it if seams of pyjamas aren't exactly where they should be or if I move and then I have to adjust them again to get them dead centre. Or if I become aware I can feel them.
I'm out of the bed a few times a night to unbunch the sheet. It's so fun 😫

Squirrelblanket · 07/12/2023 06:36

Yes in summer, usually a loose vest top in winter.

CeciledeVolangesdeNouveau · 07/12/2023 06:47

I sleep naked. I get very cold during the day as I’m underweight and for some reason not wearing clothes seems to transfer the heat to the duvet and blankets and I get warm. When I’m with DP we are often naked just so we can have a really close cuddle (skin on skin doesn’t just work for babies and parents) and again, so he can transfer some heat to me. He will just hang around naked in the day if there’s no chance anyone will see him as well. This country has a strange attitude to nudity.
