If it’s hot: tank undershirt and panties (on those miserable nights when the AC fails I ditch the shirt) If it’s warm: short pajamas If it’s cool: T-shirt (long or short sleeved) and cotton pajama pants If it’s very cold: flannel pajamas or a nightgown ---

I usually just wear flannel PJ pants or shorts, and either a t-shirt or tanktop. ---

During warm weather, I wear a tank top and a pair of shorts. (right now, the outfit of choice is a pink and grey striped top and a pair of crinkly black shorts, though it depends on what’s clean). Once it cools down, then I replace the shorts with my spiffy black pajama pants that shrank and are now actually much closer to shorts than pants, but still really comfy. I have a roommate, so pajamas are extremely necessary. Besides, they’re just cool. 😃 Pajama pants rock. ---

The same thing I wear under a kilt. ---

T-shirt and panties. The number of blankets might change with the temperature, but it’s pretty much the same sleeping wardrobe year round. ---

I tried to sleep naked once, but the…ummm… movement was a bit unsettling. T-shirt with trackpants in winter or shorts in summer. ---

Tank and panties… blankets come and go with the seasons. Am I the only one who doesn’t like the feel of sheets? EWWWW on my skin, it just feels WRONG! Gimme a comforter or soft, nubby blanket. ---

Doesn’t anyone have Yodas an’ shit on 'em? (I sleep in nothing.) ---

Boxers, sometimes a t-shirt if it’s cold. Occasionally nothing. ---

You know, I’ve tried the sleeping naked thing, but I always end up getting out of bed to put something on. For me it just feels uncomfy. My favorite thing to wear to bed is my “The Clash” t shirt that I got at a concert a gazillion years ago. It’s a fairly form fitting shirt. I pair that with these little shorts that are really comfortable. If I’m being semi alluring then I have silk nighties…but geesh, I feel like I’m sliding around the sheets. Husband likes them though…lol. ---

At the moment I am wearing a way too big long red t-shirt with Mickey on it. In the winter I wear a lot of LL Bean plaid flannel gowns. I leave my one truly gorgeous negligee hanging on the closet door to remind me…well, never mind what it reminds me of. ---

When it’s really warm nothing (no blankets either just warm air all over my skin… no imagining guys) Of course since I have roomies I keep my pj’s handy to slip on before leaving my room. Little cooler I like my pj bottoms which are now capris from shrinking and either a tank or a huge tee Sometimes for a change I wear cotton nightgowns… usually in winter with a pile of blankets or just a large tee because the nightgowns get rucked up around my waist anyway. Of course when I’m not single I like naked as well… so nice to cuddle up to someone warm and feel skin against skin 😃 ---

Generally no jammies, but when it’s exceptionally cold, I have some great big sleep T-shirts that I’ll put on to keep my shoulders warm. And if I don’t have an electric blanket on the extremely cold nights, I’ll sometimes wear socks. ---

In summer, nothing. In winter, light cotton lonsleved shirt, and big baggy pajama pants that are about two sizes too big nd lime green with happy rabbits all over them. If I’m going away to a bach or something than I take boxers and a baggy tshirt. ---

Generally just a pair of panties in the summer. I might wear sweatpants in the winter, with or without a teeshirt on top. My feet and legs get VERY cold, while above the waist I generally am warm to too hot. When it’s cold I will also go to bed with my hotwater bottle at my feet, which I find is very comforting. Otherwise, my feet will NEVER warm up and I can’t get to sleep. ---

Depending on temp., some combination of the following; boxers, Adidas track pants, t-shirt, sweatshirt. ---

For me, depends on the season. Either some shorts and a tank, or nice soft flannel pj’s. My favourite ones have cute little planes with “ZOOOOOOOOOM!” written in between the planes. Or, if I’m feeling lazy, my underpants and the shirt I wore that day (ok, so it’s gross, but I don’t have a SO to complain) Never, ever do I wear socks to bed. It doesn’t matter how cold it is, I can not stand wearing socks to bed. I can sleep with cold feet, but I can’t sleep with socks on.
