Well, it’s pajamas day, not “wear what you do to bed day”.
Ehhhh…It’s pajama day, not “what you wear while sleeping” day. Pajamas are a type of clothing, ranging from little kid onesies to lounge pants/shorts and an oversized shirt.
For example, I wear pajama pants and a t-shirt in the evening, but strip down to my boxers before getting in bed. If I participated in pajama day, I’d wear the bottoms and my funniest t-shirt, not just boxers.
To naked sleepers: if there is a fire, are you gonna dress first or evacuate the building in your natural state?
That and similar scenarios makes me a dressed sleeper.
Usually pants are very close to my bed, even if I evacuated nude, taking some basic clothing with me wouldn’t be a big deal, I also wear pants in no time. Countless times I woke to like parcel delivery and had to dress up quickly, it’s not a big deal
I’m going naked. I knew the risks going in.
In the summer I may as well catch on fire if I sleep in clothes. A fire preventing me from getting dressed is just a good excuse to not have to wear them outside for once. In winter when I’m happy to wear clothes I wear them in bed too.
I know where my towel is.
Here’s the thing… When you’re neurodivergent and any clothing you wear to bed will twist and wrinkle and keep you awake every night, you have to weigh the quality of sleep every night vs the rare instance of an emergency. I choose sleep. But I also have a robe next to my bed.
I feel so seen. Thank you for elucidating precisely why I sleep like this.
I feel dumb reading this comment, I struggle every night getting my shirt in a comfortable position including the multiple wake up and tosses and turns.
I prefer boxers briefs for sleeping so my ADHD ass doesn’t twist up my twig and berries by tossing and turning.
I had to find specific clothes with elastic at all the edges to fix this. I wish I could sleep makes but it’s so cold.
Y’all have 5% spandex fittet sheets too?
I live in a part of the world where going outside in you pajamas means you could die anyways? Should I wear a jacket to bed and just die of heat exhaustion, instead? If only there were other options…
In my comment i mean i am afraid to have a fire and leave the house naked not because i would be cold, but because i would be butt naked on the street
Robe, or just going naked out the door. Probably naked since my priority first is getting my partner and animals out. In this scenario, lacking clothes seems like a pretty minor thing.
Yeah, realistically, what household doesn’t have a few extra blankets lying around? If I awake to my neighbor’s house on fire, and them standing naked in the yard, the least I can do is hand them a blanket to wrap themselves in. And that’s one of the few situations where being completely naked in public is perfectly socially acceptable.
I rather sleep comfortable for the 99.9% where there isn’t a fire than be inconvenienced that one time that may never happen.
Now early package delivery? The number of times I’ve received my package on an early Saturday with by dick swinging in a bath robe is probably way too high. But they don’t know that!
Hm never thought of a robe, that’s a good fast way to be covered.
If the toga was good enough for the Greeks, its good enough in an emergency. Blanket, sheets, nearest curtains, whatever.
You gonna sleep with shoes on, too?
(Also what BlueLineBae said below re: neurodivergent)
I don’t live my life now for a bunch of what ifs. My neighbors can look at my dingaling. Fuck em.
I don’t sleep in my glasses and I don’t sleep in my shoes and coat in winter. I’ll have to get dressed anyway–possibly just in glasses, shoes, and long coat.
My bigger worry is that my dog isn’t currently wearing his harness and ID (he had a bath). I’d have to either toss him in a crate and carry him out, or get him dressed in his harness.
How often has this happend to you?
Twice but I live in firesville
Lol never, it’s an anxiety thought of mine, including other similar scenarios.
There was another post that also raised my eyebrow for similar reasons. They were agonizing about what to wear to bed but still be ready to cover up quickly. My answer is the same: a robe. This is a solved issue! Need something to wear to breakfast, but family or friends are over? Robe. Wear sexy/non-traditional/nothing/butt-plug/whatever? Robe. Man/woman/child/other: robe.
Whether it’s on a hanger or wadded up, it probably takes about 10 seconds to throw on in an emergency. If someone is that paranoid about being immodest while saving their life, keep it hanging on the front door. You could grab it as you ran out the door and it would literally take no extra time. Sure, in the most urgent fire, etc my bare ass might be out for less than a minute while I put it on across the street, but that’s in the worst-case scenario…
Need to get me a robe!
Do you not go outside because a meteorite could hit you?
I keep shorts next to my bed, I’d try to grab them as I hop out but if that didn’t work out I’m okay going nude. I’m not going to constrict myself on the miniscule chance of an emergency, that’s living in fear.
Basketball shorts are my normal attire. I’ve also been a caregiver for many years for my mom, and I can assure you, in an urgent situation, I can have the shorts on before I stand. I’m a pro at wake up, reach down and grab, and slide my legs into them as I’m standing. It literally takes no more time for me than it would to walk out of my room naked. They sit directly on top of my flip flops that I also slide into as I stand up. Shirts take more time, but that’s less important for me as a guy (still pretty important as a fat guy that hates being shirtless beyond what I can even explain).
That said, not everyone is such a seasoned professional. Robe is probably the better call. I’d wear a robe more often if I could find one that wasn’t so hot, I can only handle them in deepest of winter
I now imagine people training wake up.
It’s not totally unheard of. Firefighters do it. I imagine back in the day when doctors lived at hospitals (does this still happen?) they did it, too. People who do live in caregiving often practice waking up routines in case of emergency.
I have a bathrobe i can throw on in like two seconds in my room on the way out
Blanket turns into toga. Problem solved.
if there is a fire, are you gonna dress first or evacuate the building in your natural state?
I had a teacher whose building was set on fire by a crazy person. The firemen banged on his door at 2am and told him to evacuate as he was (he lived just below the arsonist)
I keep a robe and also shorts near my bed. If there’s a huge catastrophe that doesn’t allow me to get either of those on, oh well.
My GF is a naked sleeper…it’s awesome.
wtf is pajama day?
August 29 1997, the day pajamas became self-aware.
Actually it’s a thing schools do (in the US, at least), like casual day except that the kids wear pajamas to school.
thanks I would also like to know
I need to remove more than my clothing to be naked.
Here’s why: I fainted once in the hospital, while I was drying off after a shower, and when I woke up I was surrounded by cute nurses I’d been flirting with all month. They were kind enough to give me a towel for dignity.
This is not the most embarrassing thing to happen to me in this hospital, but this was the first big one.
Those of us in earthquake-prone regions (I stopped sleeping naked after I experienced “the big one” in 2011)
Probably best to stop letting the pig in the bed, too.
Occasionally, all that squealing can come in handy, like the early morning hours of 16 January 1994, when the Northridge earthquake shook most of Los Angeles, prompting shortlived but very real fears that the Big One had struck.
…
Max was in bed with me and woke up minutes before it happened. And I was yelling at him for waking me up, when everything just exploded. So, I’m naked with Max, and running … because I’m in a house on a hill, and if it’s going down I want to be up on the street, dodging the next house.
Sounds like I should get a bed pig.
🤣😂🥲
Never understood naked sleepers
It’s sterile and I like the taste.
I used to sleep naked but now I wear pajama(s?) inspired by early RHCP to stay decent for this kind of situation
