Do we have any pyjamas here?
Or maybe some women in some sexy night dress?
If so, maybe you should describe it and make the men/women happy…😃
Maybe you sleep nude as me?
That is in the summer for me,
because in the winter I wear a t-shirt and pants.
Outherwise I would freeze.

Nude, unless it’s cold.
Although, I have been considering something lacy. 😉

I always wanted to try sleeping nude, but I think I’ll wait until Anniz can show me how its done. 😉
I sleep in just a pair of shorts with no underwear. If its _really_ hot, nude. If its cold I just use more blankets though.

A sombrero.

I usually wear underwear or sleep naked if it’s hot and the cat can be persuaded to keep his claws to himself. I have not worn pyjamas since I was, like, 12.

In general I sleep naked. Otherwise in a t-shirt and underwear. I prefer naked though.

I wear a smile when I’m asleep and that’s all…

No sexy stuff here, when one sleeps alone it doesn’t matter. When once sleeps with a friend ( giggle ) one sleeps nude.
Basically a tshirt and underwear. I am not a prude but if the house was burning down I at least want to run out of the house with something on.
Besides, a soft and overly washed tshirt is comfortable any time of year.

Back at home, when my parents kept the temperature at 50 degrees below zero in the winter, I would sleep with two layers - pyjamas covering long underwear - under three layers of bedsheets, one of which was an electric blanket set to High. Wrapped like a mummy.
Nowadays, I sleep either in a t-shirt and underpants, or just the undies. Currently (since it’s summer), I do the latter. I love setting my own temperature.

I’m with Kilgore Trout, I don’t see how people can wear anything to bed. I can’t stand it, myself.
I specially bought the lowest temp. rated sleeping bag I could find so that when we go camping, I can still sleep nude.
If there’s a fire, I’m just going to have to give the firemen a show on the way out, 'cause there ain’t no way I’m wearing anything to bed.

If it’s warm, a T-shirt and boxers.
If it’s cold, a T-shirt and sweatpants.
If there’s someone else in the bed, nothing at all.

Normally, I’ll sleep nude. If there’s an odd circumstance where it’d be embarassing to be caught wandering to the bathroom naked [ie:guests or people who don’t want to see me naked sleeping at my house], I’ll wear pajama bottoms and a tank top.

Winter: Shorts
Summer, No AC: Nada.
Summer, AC: Shorts.
Now, in the winter I wear socks to bed, along with shorts.

At school, when I have a roommate, t-shirt and shorts/flannel pants, depending on the weather. At home, or anyplace else I can get away with it, I sleep nude.

Nothing.
Unless of course I’m sleeping in the company of others. In such a situation you would find me in sweats/shorts and a t-shirt/sweatshirt/tank top.

Stark naked.
If it’s cold, I drag out the down matress.
