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.

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!

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?

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.

KCSIE · 07/12/2023 17:15

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

existentialpain · 07/12/2023 17:25

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

Sauvblanctime · 07/12/2023 17:30

Yup

also sensory issues around clothes. I cannot stand socks

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.

NashvilleQueen · 07/12/2023 17:51

Never ever ever

CeciledeVolangesdeNouveau · 07/12/2023 17:53

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

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.

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!

Gwenhwyfar · 07/12/2023 18:27

No, but my room is about 10 degrees.

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!!

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 🤷‍♀️

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.

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.

anythinginapinch · 07/12/2023 19:37

Always.

CaptainJackSparrow85 · 07/12/2023 19:40

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

Moonshine5 · 07/12/2023 20:29

90% of MN claim to sleep naked. 😂

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

HoboSexualOnslow · 07/12/2023 20:42

No

lurchermummy · 07/12/2023 20:42

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

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 😳

LlynTegid · 07/12/2023 21:03

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