Personally, not much.
In winter, when its frickin’ freezin’ I wear LaSenza PJ’s with the pants and little strapy top.
Summer - nada.
So - what do YOU all wear?

Wear something to sleep in? You mean, like, clothes? Wear clothes to bed?
What a … strange idea.

Nothing, simply because I hate to be hot when I sleep. In the dead of winter I’ve got the window open, the fan blowing on me, and no covers on.

I just wanted to get under Booker57 while he’s wearing his nothing !
I usually sleep either nude (hubby’s favorite) or in a really big night shirt (flannel ones if it’s really cold. ) and that’s it.

With spouse - nothing.
When spouse is on travel (like this week) - big T-shirt.

Either a t-shirt & panties, just panties, or nothing. It really depends on my mood and how warm I am. Usually it’s just panties.

Depends on the weather. I have lots of cute pajamas for when it’s cold. On warm nights, usually just underpants and a t-shirt or a tank top.

Boxers.
The only time I can ever sleep in the alltogether is when I have company. It just feels odd otherwise.
