I don’t…even when it’s really really cold I have trouble wearing anything to bed. I suspect nightcaps are a product of a time before distributed heating in houses. I’d like to know if anyone still wears those pajamas with the buttons in the back and the flap that comes down to expose your ass…(aside from those you’d find in gay men’s specialty catalogs).

I tend to pull the covers over my head, so I don’t wear a cap in bed. However, I tend no, t to use the heater much, so I often wear a wool watchcap at home during the cold parts of the day.
