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.
wrote last edited by [email protected]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)

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.

Blanket turns into toga. Problem solved.

I prefer boxers briefs for sleeping so my ADHD ass doesn't twist up my twig and berries by tossing and turning.

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...

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

How often has this happend to you?

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.

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.

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.

I used to sleep naked but now I wear pajama(s?) inspired by early RHCP to stay decent for this kind of situation

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.

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!

Y'all have 5% spandex fittet sheets too?

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.

I now imagine people training wake up.
