The upside to that being, if there's a fire, at least I'll look okay with a pair of nice jeans or business slacks on, waiting for the authorities to arrive.

EVERYTHING IS UNDER CONTROL, DO YOU SEE?

I usually sleep in an American Flag speedo, with a crimson velvet cape and a pair of oversized dreamcatcher earrings. Either that, or a gopher pelt cummerbund and a burlap cock sheath.

Hm, sometimes nothing, usually old Tshirts. Do usually take it up a notch if I'm not sleeping alone, but on my own it's the 10-yr old Tshirt for sure. But I HATE long nightgowns, I hate anything that bunches up when you slide under the covers, this is NOT the American frontier and my nightclothes do not have to be as voluminous as 4 petticoats (sorry, this is a pet peeve as my mother favors those ridiculous nightgowns with high ruffled collars and she made us wear them all through childhood).

I usually sleep in a tshir and undies tho lately Ive taken to sleeping in whatever top I had on when i get home - night shift is exhausting and I cant be bothered changing, I just collapse. I also have some nice flannel jammie pants for winter. Cant do nekkid - I have weird dreams about being caught nekkie in public if I do!

a heavy black comforter

Flannel pajamas in winter, sometimes with a tank top, t-shirt or thermal long sleeve top underneath.

Summer it's been hello kity pajama bottoms or cotton knit ones and a tank top or short sleeve shirt.

A few times when it was really cold, I slept in underwear, tights, knee high socks, thermal top, flannel pajamas, and a fleece top.

i lost my favorite pair of blue umbro shorts that i used to sleep in, so i've since started wearing this old pair of (darker) blue mesh shorts. used to sleep in nothing, not so much now that i share bedrooms with people.

Rosemary, I've been there -- my parents' house is a hundred years old and drafty, and situated on a lake. More than one winter I kept a propane heater burning in my bedroom, or a heating pad plugged in at my feet, or wore my ski jacket to read in bed. Or got dressed for bed in turtleneck + sweatshirt + tights + sweatpants + wool socks! Of course now I can't sleep in a warm room.

Nothing. I'm uncomfortable wearing pretty much anything.

― Andrew (enneff), Friday, 9 September 2005 02:27 (eighteen years ago) link

In bed, that is.

― Andrew (enneff), Friday, 9 September 2005 02:27 (eighteen years ago) link

you, sir, are a treasure.

haha! i just imagined andrew speaking in an australian accent! hehe.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 9 September 2005 04:35 (eighteen years ago) link

Contact me on MSN (fattyfatfattie@hotmail.com) and I'll give you my phone number if you want to actually hear me speak in an Australian accent.

― Andrew (enneff), Friday, 9 September 2005 04:49 (eighteen years ago) link

andrew.

Hahahahhaha.

you know i don't have that kind of money.

I have slept naked almost every night for the last 14 years or so, since I was about 12. I feel very uncomfortable sleeping with any clothes on, boxers or PJs or anything. The only times I'll wear anything is if I'm in an unusual bed (or on an unusual floor) or if I'm ill.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Friday, 9 September 2005 07:21 (eighteen years ago) link

Leggings and some kind of (usually oversize) t-shirt most often. If it's very hot, I might replace the leggings with a paisley cotton skirt which has become too ratty/transparent to wear out of the house. If it's very cold, I might add a sweatshirt or more usually my sleeping cap.

I dislike sleeping naked, regardless of whether there is anyone with me or not. I cannot sleep at all if I am wearing socks.

(This of course disregards the number of times I have passed out or fallen asleep fully clothed.)

― Luminiferous Aether (kate), Friday, 9 September 2005 07:49 (eighteen years ago) link

if it gets too cold, t-shirt & boxers. rest of the time, birthday suit.

― not-goodwin (not-goodwin), Friday, 9 September 2005 08:04 (eighteen years ago) link

If I'm With Somebody, nuffink. If I'm not and it's summer, a cute vest and big pants set. If I'm not and it's winter, proper men's pyjamas.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 9 September 2005 08:12 (eighteen years ago) link

When it's warm - just boxers. When it isn't - boxers, t-shirt and (the shame) socks. I'm 6' 3", my feet get cold!

― Crackity (Crackity Jones), Friday, 9 September 2005 08:17 (eighteen years ago) link

I used to sleep in t-shirt and knickers until I took up with Accentmister. Now I sleep in the altogether, as does he. Unless it's really cold or I'm sulking, in which case I'll put a t-shirt on.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Friday, 9 September 2005 08:38 (eighteen years ago) link

classic!

I was hoping Andrew wore a suit in bed.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Friday, 9 September 2005 09:49 (eighteen years ago) link

t-shirt and the underwear I wore that day.

sometimes if it's summer, or if it's a new t-shirt and I think I might wear it again the next day, I put on a generic white t-shirt for sleeping.

I never sleep naked.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 9 September 2005 11:07 (eighteen years ago) link

I should point out, in case anyone ever invites me over to stay, that I always wear pyjamas (or pidgers, as we used to call them when I was a kid) in other people's houses.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Friday, 9 September 2005 11:56 (eighteen years ago) link

Why not, Ronan? It's GREAT!

this sounds silly but you never know. when our house burned down in college, i was so relieved that i had left my clothes folded next to my bed instead of putting them away in the closet. i was able to greet neighbors and firemen in jeans and a sweater, as opposed to my cowering half-naked housemates.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 9 September 2005 12:25 (eighteen years ago) link

I usually fall asleep in the jeans I wore, unless it's cold and then I'll keep my shirt on. It's not that I really want to, but I'm still at home until I'm able to find a full-time position and move out. I live in a place so small that I've had to share a room with my 13-year-old brother ever since his birth, hence why I have to sleep clothed.

1. Nothing.
2. Huge flannel pyjamas, with butterflies on, from Primark.
3. Full suit of armour.

― Raston Warrior Robot (alix), Friday, 9 September 2005 12:50 (eighteen years ago) link

My youngest brother was such a slacker that if he knew he had to be up early in the morning, he'd have a shower and put on the next day's clothes before he lay down on his bed to watch telly for the night. That way he wouldn't have to get dressed in the morning.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Friday, 9 September 2005 13:24 (eighteen years ago) link

as an addition to what i've already posted, besides the obvious "when i sleep naked" . . . i never sleep with underwear on unless i'm bleeding & using a pad. always underwearless.

― kelsey (kelstarry), Friday, 9 September 2005 13:26 (eighteen years ago) link

Not slacker, genius.

― not-goodwin (not-goodwin), Friday, 9 September 2005 13:28 (eighteen years ago) link

Aromatic genius, yes.

Old timey diving suit, complete with one of those huge spherical helmets, with the breathing tube plugged into a large tank of helium, so that I float four feet above the matress and wake up sounding like a tiny mouse.

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 9 September 2005 13:49 (eighteen years ago) link

Just boxers. Occasionally naked after friskiness, but usually boxers.

For some reason I get really hot in bed (no innuendo intended) and if I wear anything else I wake up soaking with sweat at 4am. Even in the winter.

OTM accent, I never have the heating on in the bedroom and have the window open as late in the year as possible. My dad and sister have impossibly warm houses; such waste.

― Ed (dali), Friday, 9 September 2005 16:12 (eighteen years ago) link

A toboggan.

I sleep nude, and pretty much stay that way while I am at home as I am a hardcore nudist.

― Bill Desnuda, Wednesday, 21 September 2005 05:32 (eighteen years ago) link

I sleep in a big bed, with my wife.

― Mark E. Smith, Wednesday, 21 September 2005 08:59 (eighteen years ago) link

It is vital, for me to get to sleep, that the room be like an icebox but the bed be lovely and cosy warm. Consequently I cannot sleep in my parents' house because they are LIZARD PEOPLE who need to have heating on all the fucking time, even at 1am.

My mother is one of the Lizard People too. I really miss sleeping with the window open, but my room is right on a main road and it's too noisy.

― Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 09:09 (eighteen years ago) link

I am a hardcore nudist.

SO a softcore nudist would wear see-through pyjamas? ;-)

I love sleeping with the window open. Ever since my husband did this, I sleep much better.
