Does sleeping in only a snuggie count as nude sleeping? ---

Well, yeah, what’s so weird about bathing every night? Don’t most people bathe every day? Or are you saying that bathing every morning AND every night would be odd? If you’ve already bathed in the morning, I don’t think you’re SO dirty that sleeping on the sheets would be bad. If you’re that dirty, you should take a shower…it’s not like wearing pjs is going to protect your sheets at that point. ---

> [@Chakra Nadmara](#): > > Every night without fail? That would be impressive hygiene actually; sometimes it’s just so late I’ll be damned if I take the time to shower. But either way it’s your bed, not mine. You know, all my life I’ve tended to bathe right before bed, not when I get up in the morning. So I’m actually at my cleanest just before I go to sleep. I can’t stand going to sleep feeling less than clean. I’m puzzled why you think sleeping naked is somehow dirtier than sleeping with night clothes of some sort. And for the record - I change my sheets weekly, too. Unless something gets spilled on them or something, in which case it’s sooner than 1 week. ---

That would be impressive hygiene actually; sometimes it’s just so late I’ll be damned if I take the time to shower. But either way it’s your bed, not mine. How is sleeping naked going to make the sheets any dirtier than sleeping in underwear? At any given moment a guy’s dick and ass are likely going to be among the cleanest parts of his body. If you really want to keep the sheets clean it’s advisable to wear gloves and a mask to bed. ---

I’m aware people lead different lives. If you bathe properly every night there’s nothing wrong, but I’ve been known to fall asleep while grimy and filthy, just out of exhaustion, in which case some layers of clothing would help keep the sheets away from my disgusting oily skin. ---
