It use to be nothing but big Tee shirts for me. Then a couple of years ago I bought some flannel sleep pants, now I’m a sleep pants connoisseur. I wear them with little tops, and if I’m feeling lazy, I just wear them all day long. I bought my son a pair of Sponge Bob sleep pants that were a little too long. One day I’ll haul out the sewing machine and hem them, although they currently reside in my jammie drawer, and I’ve worn them 3 times. 🙂 ---

“What kind of jammies do you wear?” Nothing at all, i stopped wearing jammies when i was a little kid. Naked is nicer, and allows you to be closer to your SO ---

Depends on temperature… If it’s hot … nothing If it’s cold … flannel pants & tank top If it’s just right & I’m solo … a yellow shorts & t-shirt combo covered in monkeys ---

100% naked, unless I’m staying at someone else’s house (or we have guests at ours) in which case I usually wear a pair of sweat shorts. (On my head, so I can’t see people’s horrified expressions.) ---

Nekkid. Unless someone else might have to wake me up, that is, in which case I wear briefs. I’m not cruel. ---

I wear a tank or t-shirt with boxers all year-round. I hate flannel. ---

I’m afraid it’s _au natural_ for sleeping. For lounging, though, I love sleep pants with a short tank or tee. I recently bought a pair of pj’s that had “capri” length pants and I really like those too! ---

I lounge around in sweat shorts, or knit boxers, and a tee or tank top, but I take them off when I go to bed. ---

At home? Nothing. In someone else’s house? A pair of drawstring athletic shorts, no top. Tops tend to get all bunched up and uncomfortable. ---

Another naked sleeper. I keep my robe at the end of the bed should I need to wander around and the kids are here. No kids, no robe. ---

\*Flannel shortie pyjamas, tartan. \*Thin cotton pyjamas with pull-on top (rather than a button-up pyjama jacket), one pair white, one pair lilac. I got them from Tescos and they are quite honestly the best jammies EVAH. \*Thin cotton pyjama pants, pale blue floral print, worn with cotton jersey tank top. I bought these when I was a bit fat, and they are now way too big. Luckily they have a drawstring waist, so I can wear them without them falling down around my arse. \*Cotton jersey pyjama pants, grey, worn with cotton jersey tank top, and with an old cotton knit cardigan if it’s really cold. - Linen nightdress with djellabah neckline, navy. This is wonderfully comfy, but sadly falling apart. I’d love to find a linen nightdress that isn’t from some ootsy expensive übermiddleclass mail order outfit. ---

nothin but socks at home (though i keep pants and a t-shirt close by, as I often get called out in the middle of the night . a tyvek suit in a hotel. boxer briefs and tshirt everywhere else, except the firehouse, which has regulation sleepwear requirements. ---

One reason I like the pants, is that I slather my legs with lotion at night. I can’t stand that ‘legs sticking together’ feeling. Also, it coincides with the installation of central heat and air in our house. I keep the house cold at night year 'round. **Tansu** , I’m glad I’m not the only jammie connoisseur.
