How do you sleep at night?

[LancashireLad]

Maybe a lighthearted question this, but how important to a relationship is what we wear, or don't wear, in bed?

For me sleeping naked with my wife has always been one of the best things. And it's not primarily to do with sex, although clearly it's very handy for that when the mood takes. But even if "rumpy pumpy" is not on the cards it's lovely to have skin on skin contact going to sleep or waking up.

My wife does occasionally really enjoy wearing her PJs (and I've got a pair at the bottom of a drawer for really cold nights) but for the vast majority of our marriage we've been sleeping au natural and it's something I've realised that - for me at least - is a really, really important part of closeness and intimacy. Something I'd miss at quite an emotional level if my wife for some reason insisted on covering up all the time at bedtime.

But everyone is different I guess?

Me and my DH both sleep naked, I like the closeness of our skin together when we go to bed and then when we wake up. I'm not a cuddly sleeper though and it's more important to our relationship that my DH doesn't touch me when I'm asleep!!!
If its cold I'll put on pj's or a nightie - these have never, ever stopped us having sex if we want to!

I hate sleeping naked, can't do it. Husband will occasionally sleep naked though more often than not will wear boxers. Kids often get in bed with us so he'll put pants on.

I’m another who cannot sleep naked, I always wear PJ shorts , some time a tee shirt if it’s really cold

I am the least sexily dressed person for bed. I am always freezing at night so it’s full pjs and bed socks for me! My poor DH!

We both sleep naked all year round . Same reasons as OP really although I'm now 52 so do like a modesty something to grab for nighttime trips to loo or getting up . Not a pretty sight me waddling around starkers but I look far better lying down in the dark !

Me too. I don't know why. I just enjoy the cosiness of wearing something and sleeping naked just doesn't feel right even though clearly it works for many many people!

Almost always naked. Love skin-to-skin cuddles - hugely relaxing and therapeutic after a tiring day, and very bonding too I think - if there is any tension between us a nice skin-to-skin cuddle before sleep seems to help dissipate that and get us both back on track.

We sleep naked or with pants. Love the skin to skin feeling. Oh is like an oven so it would be awfully hot if we were wearing clothes!

Birthday suits for both of us. In my case since I was about 10, and even earlier for DH, according to MIL!, We love the intimacy, comfort, freedom etc., as others here have already described. I'm ever grateful to Mum for encouraging me to ditch my PJs one hot summer night, and for her understanding a week or two later when I showed no interest in going back to them when then nights got bit cooler.

I've changed as time has gone on.
XH always used to cover up from head to toe, even in the height of summer. So never had naked cuddles. I dressed/undressed for bed depending on the heat.

New DP always sleeps naked, and I join him in that. It's wonderful.

Problem is, now that the menopause has started, I sweat like a trojan at night, and he finds my furnace like skin so hot during night cuddles that he has to go splash his face with cold water to cool down. 🤣

😂That's my wife too! I still love it (and her), though!

We sleep naked. Can't get comfortable even with just boxers on. We like the skin to skin too and she quite likes feeling my penis against her (which has a mind of its own). Only time she wears anything is when on her period and just wears knickers.

Just Pj bottoms

Naked, DP does either knickers or pj's or naked.
