They sit right beside my alarm clock at night, so I can put them on as soon as I wake up. I have to put them on if I have to wake up to the washroom in the middle of the night. Why do you need to have things in focus to per at night? I do it with my eyes mostly closed anyway ---

I’d never be comfortable at home with all that gear on me. I do the same thing when I arrive at the office, except I keep my pants on. ---

Jacket. That’s it. Shoes are likely to come off shortly, but only when I sit down to relax (either on the couch or at the computer). Phone, wallet, keys, etc. all stay on me. I’m too lazy and too forgetful to do otherwise. And, prior to LASIK, the idea of walking around without glasses would have been an absurdity. As is the idea of being without my phone. ---

Shoes and jacket. If I recall correctly, I used to take my watch off also but it’s been years since I wore a watch (although by coincidence I came across my old watch a couple of days ago). ---
