The long end could be used like a scarf to keep the back of the neck warm.

What's the purpose of a night cap? Like why would anyone want to wear a tall, floppy hat while they sleep?
I actually wondered the exact same thing when I posted this and searched it, it's to keep your head warm and your pomaded hair off the pillows back when effective heat and regular showers were less common.

Overlooked the "with" at first and got really confused that someone was horny for "A Christmas Carol."

So you had to have a tall, floppy night cap in case you were ever hanged, got it.

Wouldn't a scarf work better as a scarf?

Someone's gonna be disappointed when they get the hat and realize it is child-sized...

You might want to rethink the nightshirt because it has an Ebeneezer Scrooge vibe to it.

But why is it tall and floppy? Why not just like a knit beanie?
The nightcap is cheap and low effort. All you really need are two pieces of scrap fabric to sew together. A knit beanie has to be, well, knit. Now we have machine/robotic knitting, but hand knitting consumes a huge amount of time and energy. The nightcap clearly came about at a time when clothing was straight up made in the home, often from scrounged fabric. Nowadays the higher quality beanie is the obvious choice. It's snug to your head, can be purchased at many different price points, is manufactured using cheap outsourced labor halfway around the world and can be at your door step 12 hours after a mouse click. I don't think I've ever seen someone unironically wear one of those floppy night caps in my life unless it was part of a cheap children's novelty pajama set or costume.

Then scaring it out
-
When my child was young enough that they couldn't talk but could express themself, once I put them to bed and told them it was time to sleep. They squinted their eyes to pretend they were closed and said "honk shoo, honk shoo."
I was flabbergasted. Turns out their mother had taught them that as a kind of meditation to progress towards sleep, but I didn't know that and briefly thought they'd manifested it on their own.
Little kids are so funny with this kind of thing. They'll go from these useless uninteresting helpless little blobs, hit you with a sudden flash of personality, then just sit there and smile/ giggle at your dumbfounded face

My recipe for good sleep :
- AC : set to 16C with high fan speed.
- Clothes (optional) but preferred naked.
- A glass of warm milk.
