You’re in a wheelchair, right? Forgive me for laughing at the idea of a naked man in a wheelchair escaping a burning house but I can’t help it. 😃 ---

High five, fellow naked sleeper! Grew up and raised in a household of naked sleepers. Only when I travel and am either sharing a hotel room or staying at a friend’s do I bother wearing anything. ---

Only when I travel and am either sharing a hotel room or staying at a friend’s do I bother wearing anything. Next time you’re in Florida, you can stay with me. And there’s no need to get all dressed up. ---

I became a naked sleeper after moving to Thailand, too darn hot to wear anything in bed. ---

> [@AClockworkMelon](#): > > You’re in a wheelchair, right? > > Forgive me for laughing at the idea of a naked man in a wheelchair escaping a burning house but I can’t help it. 😃 My husband, who used a wheelchair throughout most of his childhood, said that in that situation he wouldn’t even bother with the wheelchair - if the house was burning he’d just crawl out with fingernails and teeth. Given the recent roof-burning experience here I don’t doubt it. He joined the bucket brigade in his socks and BVD’s. Never saw him move that fast before. Oh, relevant to the OP - I sleep in the buff, too, except when traveling or we have guests overnight. The husband in underwear and socks - he’s _very_ self-conscious about his feet which do look weird and messed up. ---

Fellow buff sleeper - I keep a pair of loose shorts at the foot of the bed for emergency egress. ---

How does it feel to know your not alone ? Fellow nude sleeper. I can’t sleep with clothes it feels to restrictive. When camping on cold nights I have to make an exception though. ---

Another nude sleeper here. From personal experience, one of the downsides is that it’s hard to chase people when you’re buck naked. Late one night I was drifting into dreamland when I heard a distinct noise outside my bedroom window. Then I heard the noise again…it was the sound of bicycle kickstands. (My window overlooked the patio where we parked our bikes.) I rushed to the window to see a couple of guys riding our bikes away. Being naked, I was unable to run after them immediately. By the time I got some shorts on and made it outside, the thieves and our bikes were long gone. ---
