    I used to, but got funny looks from the other passengers, so I usually wear a nightie now.

    Little-known fact: clothes slowly suffocate you as you sleep. I spend every available moment not wearing clothes. Unfortunately, nudism never took off in Ireland... for some reason.

    Not in Ireland. Too bloody cold. Had an ex who used to but she grew up in a hot climate and it seems to be much more common there.

    I sleep in my boxers, nothing else.
    The best nights sleep you'll get is in the winter when its Baltic outside and the rain is gently pattering down on the window and yer naked aside from the boxers and a big warm duvet pulled up over ya with no work the next morning.
    That's the stuff!
    Sometimes if life gets stressful and you're having trouble sleeping, just whack on the Ray D'Arcy show on the way home from work and then when yer lying in bed think back to what got said in the show. Out like a light, guaranteed!

    Can’t bear sleeves or bottoms in bed, feel like my limbs are being strangled. Wear pajamas going around the house and take them off going to bed, sleep in underwear and a vest

    The best sleep is after a night shift in winter, rain pouring down, wind rattling the windows awful day. Everyone getting up for work on a miserable wet horrible day and you crawl into bed nice and snug

    The problem with sleeping bollock naked is what if you have an itchy anus during the night? Your sleeping self will just scratch that itch, no thinking about smelly fingers.

    The trusty boxers provide some protection at least.

    I used to sleep naked but when the kids came along I stopped. I started again when the kids left home. And when the grandkids came along I stopped again. So now I sleep in boxers.

    I find I warm up so much once I sleep that it's not too cold at all. Maybe I'm just naturally warm. :)

    I really need to invest in a lighter duvet actually.

    Boxers and t-shirt except on very warm nights would just be boxers. Could never get comfortable sleeping in the nip and just wouldn’t get to sleep, don’t find it overly comfortable not wearing a t-shirt in bed even but has to be left off if very warm.

    cold at night without a bit of cotton between me and the world.
    BUT
    why no "nightie" option? I wear like a little sundress with straps. Covers me chilly bumbum without getting a stranglehold.

    I'm a divil for pyjamas. I love them. I find it really hard to sleep naked and I think it's to do with the comfort that being covered brings me. There maybe be an underlying issue at play connected to exposure and safety, I'm not sure. I also love the feeling of weight so even with the summer duvet I sometimes put two pillows on top of me.

    I'm strange.

    Always. Have slept naked since my late teens.

    It's the most comfortable way to sleep and when I wear PJs or any clothing in bed (when I've been in hospital or crashed on someone's couch in the past) I find I don't get anywhere as good and restful a slumber compared to being in the nip.

    I (M) have yet to find pyjama pants that don't get twisted and uncomfortable on my legs. and/or get pulled up or down. Typical cotton PJs appear to be designed for people who just lie there like logs, never moving. I don't need the warmth, and they don't cover my feet, the part of me that gets coldest. Maybe if I could find a sheer silk onesie: something that doesn't tangle, covers my feet, and won't gape at the waist.

    Death has this much to be said for it:
    You don’t have to get out of bed for it.
    Wherever you happen to be
    They bring it to you—free.

    I went through a phase, 8 or 9 years ago of wanting to explore naturalism but couldn't find anything on Google. I understand why meetings aren't widely published. I might look into it :)

    I love sleeping in the nip, especially in summer but kids put a stop to that. My boys would be traumatised if they came in to find their ma naked in the morning.

    I used to sleep nekkid, it's quite nice. But, about 10 years ago I copped that sleeping nekkid was resulting in my getting chest infections. So since then I sleep with just jocks and a tshirt. I'm a human radiator too, regardless of the weather, the missus of last used to shoo me away because I radiate heat. And even in the summer if I sleep without a tshirt, I'll still get sick, so I hate summers (along with the sun, as I'm ginger).

    I've always slept naked, for as long as I can remember. Can't beat the freedom. I'm curious as to those that sleep in boxers. They're obviously not the same ones you've had on all day, are they?
