Baglady and I have a couple of rules: 1. If we are both home and one of us is in the shower, both of us are in the shower; and 2. If you are in bed you are naked. Naked is so much more comfortable I can’t imaine sleeping with anything more than underwear. The naked rule applies when staying at someone’s house, as well. If they give you a bedroom they shouldn’t be barging in. If they give you the floor, I am very good at putting shorts on while in a sleeping bag. Besides, starting out naked makes sneaky/quiet sex at a friend’s house easier. Regardless, none of friends would be particularly traumatized about seeing us naked (and a large portion of them have seen us naked). ---

Long time lurker, first time poster. Please be nice 🙂 I’m making my presence known in order to wholeheartedly lend my support to the nekkid sleeping legion. I’m nude in bed 99% of the time. When it’s really cold, I’ll start out in shorts and a t-shirt and end up nekkid when I warm up. Socks are right out. The girlriend is of the same philosophy, but gets cold more often than I so she is nekkid about 80% of the time. ---

I sleep naked most of the time, but I pile the blankets on to keep cosy and warm. ---

Nude above the ankles, at least 97% of the time. My wife, however, sleeps in sweats. It’s all a matter of comfort, I suppose. I toss and turn a lot and wind up with any clothing twisted under me if I have it on. She doesn’t. As for socks, I’m all for ‘em…I’m 6’ 3" and my feet tend to stick out beyond the covers, which can lead to chills on cold nights. ---

How do you people wear socks to bed? My feet usually end up COLDER if I wear socks. But I understand the sleeping naked thing now. I tried it last night and I adore it, though getting out of bed into the shockingly cold room was a bit difficult, but other than that I loved it! Kitty ---

I used to sleep nekkid all the time. Since TW left, the dogs sleep inside the house, and one or another of them likes to sleep on the bed with me. I’m not comfortable sleeping nayked with the dog, so I wear shorts. If the house is cold and the heater’s not working up to snuff, I will wear a sweatshirt, too, but that’s about it. ~~Baloo [sup]If I ever get a female bed partner, however, the dogs can sleep in the living room – no way I sleep clothed next to a woman. I’d sweat. Profusely.[/sup] ---

nekkid at home (rolled up in 3 blankets - mmmmmmmmmmmm-warm-mmmmmmmmmmmm). oversized t-shirt and socks when crashing at someone’s house (for modesty) or a hotel (don’t know how clean those sheets are). ---

They day I moved into the basement, the clothes came off. Now the only time I will sleep in any clothes at all is when I am staying with somebody else. ---

Naked during the warm season or when someone is around to keep me warm. Otherwise, pjs, usually silk or satin. Winnie-The-Pooh slippers apply at any ol’ time. ---

That reminds me Nym. We really must talk about the slippers. I was trying to bring by two special vitamins and they just weren’t distinctive enough. Could you maybe wear something else? ---

Well, I was wearing nothing BUT the Winnie-The-Pooh slippers. If that isn’t distinctive enough, I think I need to work on my twisted vibe. I’m always willing to learn new things, though. 😃 ---

I always sleep in the nude, have done so since junior high, when I finally go my own room. No more bunched up knots making my arms and legs go to sleep. ---

I sleep in my boxer-briefs, they keep me nice and snug. I dislike it flopping around when I’m naked and trying to sleep. I roll on it. It can get twisted. Very uncomfortable.
