How can anyone wear pajamas to sleep in?

I agree, but I suspect we are in the minority – otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a large variety of sleepwear available for sale.

I wear a police T-shirt and cotton shorts to sleep in.

On occasion, I take it all off.

I live in a room in the backyard. I have to walk across the lawn if I need to defecate at 4AM. So I sleep fully clothed. Including shoes and socks and wallet in left back pocket. My house key is attached to my wallet so I need that with me.

I always assumed it was to keep sweat off the sheets. I see its use, but I like being naked or in underwear.

My bedroom gets too cold at night and my partner has a habit of shoving the covers down the bed. If I didn’t wear something I’d freeze.

*pyjamas
I do not have one.

Anyone who finds the concept of wearing pjs or sleeping in separate beds old-fashioned and a deterrent to sexy time with your partner is either very young or sexually pedestrian. Who has sex in bed anymore? That’s the only place that’s off limits! snore…

I wear pajamas when the weather’s colder. They’re more comfortable than wearing jeans to bed…

And during the warmer weather I sleep in boxers; I never sleep naked. It feels weird; too much “contact” if you know what I meat ;)

From last week’s episode of Community: “I’m more turned on by women in pajamas than women in lingerie! I just want to know they’re comfortable.” LOL

…Are you kidding?
Pajamas are so freaking comfortable! I have more pairs of pajamas than I can count and I change into them as soon as I get home from school, when I can! There is nothing more comfortable than being in the perfect pair of PJs, especially in the winter.

Men’s pajama tops and panties is my usual sleep attire. Unless it gets too hot for comfort, in which case, it comes off. At least we don’t wear night caps or kerchiefs as in “The Night before Christmas.” I think, to answer your question, what people wear to sleep is a lot dependent on one’s climate.

I wear pajamas, short and cool in the summer warm and flannel in the winter. I have kids, I have sometimes needed to jump up out of bed and go to them in the middle of the night, or sometimes they come into my room. I don’t want to be naked in front of my sons.
I always worry about a fire too. I had a friend who slept naked until her house was on fire in the middle of the night. She said that never again would she sleep in the nude. Too many neighbors and firemen saw her running out of her house naked. (in the snow)

I suppose it comes from years of living with family or in a dorm room or having a housemate or having a job that requires staying in hotels. In these cases, it is a matter of modesty. On the other hand, they are a source of additional warmth. I prefer to sleep in a chilled room and burrow under layers. Pajamas do not bind like a nightgown does.

Note that this is only when I sleep alone. If the SO is in the same bed, he generates so much heat that I can’t sleep unless some of the covers are pulled off, even in the dead of winter with the windows open.

I sleep nude. I don’t like wearing much clothing in general, though.

Freezing cold weather and a 7 year old boy who wakes up and wants to get into bed with Mommy. I used to not wear pjs, but then my life changed.

@Pied_Pfeffer – why does a hotel change the equation? I sleep in hotels 40 nights a year, and always nude. If anything, hotels are more secure for nudity than even being at home.

Why would you not sleep nude in a hotel?

@elbanditoroso Fire alarms mainly. If the window opens, then I open it and leave the drapes pulled back to get a breeze. Twice, someone has attempted to enter the room. One time, a guy did, but I was dressed and working at the desk. The auxiliary lock wasn’t latched. A few times, I’ve been put in a hotel not of choice due to travel delays. Some of them had questionable cleaning standards.

I just sleep with a shirt and undies, too many clothes and I feel constricted. I’ve always thought the concept of sleeping completely naked was kinda icky though.

I wear just shorts. I don’t like wearing a shirt in bed, I find it uncomfortable and constricting around my neck.

I think I might feel like I had to wash my sheets every day if I slept naked.

So my children would feel free to come into my room in the middle of the night.
