I’m amazed how many people sleep naked. I haven’t slept naked since I was in the womb. ---

Sorry for the TMI, but due to several gynecological issues I have to be on long-term OCPs. Either as a result of the conditions or the pill, I have constant vaginal discharge which requires me to wear a liner 24/7, so sleeping in my birthday suit is out of the question for me. ---

_Kevin Hart voice_ noooooo I often sleep nekid at home but never at a motel (unless enticed to.) First, I assume those bedspreads haven’t been cleaned since the place opened. Second, I also assume the sheets may have passed through a cold water bath but without sufficient soap, though later steamed through big, expensive machinery that makes them pressed but not clean. Third, I’m _somewhere else_ and who knows what might happen? A party breaking out right outside? I’m open to options but keep my ass covered. ---

Boxers or shorts. You never know when there will be an emergency, or when the maid will pop in unannounced. [Or when you have your Bose noise-cancelling headset on while knobbing a dildo.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Ax-T511uNMk) Sooo NSFW or kids. ---

Posting this from a hotel room, alone, wearing t-shirt and shorts in bed, for the same reasons as the OP. Except for me, there’s no modesty involved. If some maid sees me naked, that’s her problem. I just want to be ready for a quick exit, if necessary. (Although now that I think about it, it’s a slightly irrational motive.) When my wife is with me, we are usually both nude. ---

I’m amazed at how many comments there are about how dirty the bedspreads are. Well, of course they are. Who really uses them when they sleep? In hotels, I consider the bedspread decoration, like the colony of pillows, all of which get removed and tossed in the corner. It’s easy to adjust the heat/AC, so just use a sheet or sheet & blanket, and make the room temp optimal for your sleeping pleasure. No reason to touch the bedspread except to remove it from the bed. ---

I’m more inclined to sleep naked in a hotel than at home. At home I have central heat/AC; but often in hotels there’s a window AC, and it doesn’t always get cool enough. ---

Buttass nekkid! With my pants close at hand, in case of an emergency. 😉 When at home, I just lay them on the chair next to the night stand. In hotels/motels I roll them up and tuck them under the sheet, next to me. Unless I happen to have ‘company’, in which case, where they end up is usually varied and unpredictable. 😃 ---

Two things surprised me about this thread: #1: How many people sleep naked. I had no idea. #2: How many people spell naked “nekkid”. Why is that? Is it a regional thing? ---

Absolutely. There is nothing like the feel of clean, starched hotel sheets on my bare bejeezus. ---

> [@MrSquishy](#): > > Two things surprised me about this thread: > > #1: How many people sleep naked. I had no idea. > > #2: How many people spell naked “nekkid”. Why is that? Is it a regional thing? 1. Sleeping with clothes on is just uncomfortable. Turn over, and they get all twisted around you. I’m not surprised really. We’re all about comfort in the modern age. 2. It’s just a fun way to spell it. Cheeky. Denotes some humor in the pronunciation. Say “naked” without any attempt at real enunciation and that’s how it pops out. ---

Is it a regional thing? “Naked” means you got no clothes on. “Nekkid” means you got no clothes on, and you’re up to something. (According to Jeff Foxworthy.) “Nekkie” means you hang around with nudist toddlers.
