For those of you that sleep in the nude...

okay I had to start a new post. Thank you all for answering my poll below. I just went to VS and Target today and got some pj's that seem cute but are also comfy.

Anyway....I had no idea so many people slept naked. I tried it when we first got married and I didn't like it. I've always been so self conscious about my body and now I'm a good 25lbs overweight and I just don't want to feel my rolls, lol.

But my question is, do you wear something around the house and then strip down before bed? Or do you walk around naked?

Even if I felt good about my body, I would be afraid that if something happened in the middle of the night like a fire, I would not want to bother getting dressed first. Has this ever been a problem?  And what if you have kids and they come into your room in the middle of the night and see boobz?  Of course, I am a weirdo who worries about stupid stuff like that.

Sorry for so many questions. I'm fascinated by the nude sleepers. I'm tempted to try it again.

Re: For those of you that sleep in the nude...

  • when I do yea I just strip down before bed. Clothes are usually on the floor. lol

    We don't have kids so that isnt a problem yet.

     

  • When I get home from work I usually change in to a tank and yoga pants or boxers while we cook dinner/hang out. H usually just hangs out in his underwear, lol. We're classy people. Anyway, before bed I usually take my clothes off next to the bed. It's just something I've started the past few months. I have been having difficulty sleeping and the slightest bit of annoyance from a wedgie or tshirt wrapped around me will wake me up and then it takes me forever to fall back asleep.  Occassionally being naked bothers me so I sleep in a big tshirt or nightie. I'm just a weird/difficult sleeper.

    As for what would happen if we woke up in the middle of the night to something, my pre-sleep clothes are always right next to the bed or our bathroom is right next to the bed and I could just grab a robe. 

    H cooks me breakfast every morning and I always wake up and go down the hall to eat in whatever I'm in... or not in. We don't have children and we're both comfortable enough with each other that it doesn't phase us to be naked.

  • I wear clothes around the house, I am not comfortable walking around nude, like pp, my clothes are in a pile next to the bed. I do wear undies so not 100% nude. We have kids and dd sees me naked in bed, it doesn't phase her or me. I move around so much in my sleep that I can not get comfortable with clothes on- they always end up so tight for back and forth rolling that it wakes me up. If dh is not home for some reason, which rarely happens, but then I sleep with clothes on- it makes me feel better for some reason- like I am more prepared.
  • I usually strip down when I come home.  I wear chemises, rompers, or yoga pants with a tank.

    glove slap. I don't take crap.
  • When H was home, I would usually sleep nude. My clothes were right there on the floor if something were to happen. I don't walk around the house nude though. Since H is deployed, I wear one of his t-shirts or my own pj's, as I get too cold otherwise.
  • We're naked, 70% of the time we're at home. haha.

    I usually just leave a t-shirt and shorts next to the bed if I have to get up in the middle of the night. 

    We both sleep naked, always have, even when we were just dating. It's better! I hate wearing tshirts or pants/shorts to bed because they always get twisted around and it's too hot. I have to have a cold room and lots of blankets when sleeping.

  • If it was just us living here I'd probably be okay with walking around in the buff, but we have a roommate, so usually I restrict the nekkidness to our bedroom.  There have been a couple times when the dogs were puppies and I had to run outside with them at 3am and I was naked, but I don't think anyone saw (fenced backyard and I didn't turn the light on).

    Now if I was COOKING, I'd probably want something on.  It seems more hygienic and besides, I don't need hot oil or something splattering on me.

  • I never could either until I got pregnant. About 2 weeks ago, my tanks started riding up at night and between the back pain and my core temp being about 175 degrees it's just easier to sleep naked.

    I do wear a tank and boy shorts or something around the house, then strip down to my underwear to sleep most nights.

    Living in a 4-story townhouse, I have often worried about random people breaking into my house and not being able to hear it until they're in my MBR, and then I'm naked and can't really do much about it.  But that's not a big deal because the odds are so low; what's actually more difficult is what to sleep in in group situations, like sharing a hotel room or a vacation home.  When you own no PJs, you're always sort of scrounging for stuff to wear to sleep.  And it's always uncomfortable once you're used to sleeping naked.
  • I sleep in underwear only and I just strip down right before bed and leave the clothes on the floor by the bed until the next morning. I don't have children so no issue there.

    I live in a high rise condo and we did have a fire alarm before and I just threw on the clothes on the floor. No biggie. :-)

    I have always hated sleeping in pants because they ride up the legs and sleeping in only underwear is so much more comfy. 

     

     

     

     

     

  • I do walk around nude but typically have on a robe or pjs. We are a naked family so it's just how we are. 
  • I strip before bed. But if I get up in the middle of the night, I walk around naked.  My clothes are in the hamper. If I have to be naked in front of other people to save my life, so be it!
  • Funny yet not so funny story about sleeping in the nude and fires.

    A few years ago I was at my ex-H's house on Christmas night.  The whole immediate family was up late playing board games.  His step dad was sleeping.

    Long story short, my ex-SIL's bedroom caught on fire.  The door to her bedroom was super snug and sealed tight so we had no idea that nearly her entire room (less then 20ft away) was engulfed in flames until the glass in the windows broke from the heat.

    ex-MIL went to investigate the breaking glass and discovered the fire.  In the rush to get out my ex-MIL banged on her bedroom door and yelled "Bob, the house is on fire.  GET OUT".  The fire was within feet of his bedroom door.  As I'm grabbing the dog I look up and see my ex-FIL run out of the bedroom in a sleepy fog, completely naked to see WTF was going on.

    Scarred me!  FWIW, he was able to run back in and grab some PJ bottoms that apparently he always kept near the bed.

  • I am only naked in the bed.  Around the house I wear comfy things like camis and soft shorts and sometimes sleepshirts or pajamas.

  • I also hate my extra weight so I wear clothes around the house.  My evening lounge wear is generally right next to my bed when I go to sleep.  One night when I was little I was wearing an ankle length night gown.  I woke up and it was so twisted I couldn't move.  I sork of freaked and if I could have, I'd have slept naked every night since then.  I feel very claustrophobic in clothes in bed.

  • I love being naked. We are naked probably 90% of the time we are home. Well okay by naked I mean just boxers on him and underwear on me but that's pretty close. Our house gets super hot sometimes its just a necessity. I am over weight but my husband isn't perfect either so I have no problems with it, and he loves it.

  • OMG Kermie, I don't know which would traumatize me more. The fire or seeing my FIL naked. 

    I also hate when clothes are twisted which is why I abandoned all my cutsey silk stuff from VS that I bought when we first got married. Poor DH. So now  only wear cotton.

    I do like the idea of a big t-shirt and underwear to sleep. This way, I'm free but not totally naked. Now in winter, I'm all about my flannel pj's. I don't know of any way to be cute and warm at the same time so it's flannel from November -March for me.  

  • strip before bed. clothes on the floor next to the bed. I do prefer to wear clothes when we have guests over.

  • I used to have no problems sleeping nude, but since SS has moved in with us (will sleep nude on occasion when he is not here) I end up waking up in a panic in the middle of the night thinking I can't be nude because SS is home, SS has someone spending the night or someone beside DH is in the house and I need to be in pajamas.  I don't know why or how that got started, but I tend not to even attempt it anymore.
  • No, I don't walk around naked...I don't want to give the neighbors a show!  I usually wear lounge wear/pj's around before bed and to relax in and then strip down before I get into bed. 
  • walk around naked
  • Oh, I do walk around naked in the mornings, though. While I'm getting ready for work.
  •  I usually just wear my work clothes around the house until bed (I work in casual clothes). Occasionally I change into comfy, pj-like clothes until I go to bed.  I have a bathrobe hanging in our bedroom that I would grab if I needed to get out of the house ASAP. And no kids yet, but I will probably wear pjs when we have kids.

  • I have way too many windows in my house to walk around nude or hang out in my underwear all the time.
    People are bastard coated bastards with bastard filling.
  • We usually take our clothes off to have sex and then leave them off for bed.  My husband is more prone to walking around the house naked than myself, but it's usually because I get too cold.  
  • Hasn't happened since having children.
  • We always sleep naked.  I generally walk around the house naked when I first get up and while I do my makeup after my shower.  Before bed, I usually will slip on a nightie.  I have a lot of negligees and one long nightgown.

    Usually, I wear clothes in the house.  In the summer, I usually wear shorts of some sort around the house because it gets hot.  No A/C.  In the winter, the house is pretty chilly.  I live in Alaska and the floor is usually chilly and the I'm usually in a sweatshirt or jacket. 
  • I think it gets a little bit of getting used to. When I started to live on my own I got used to sleeping naked because I find that I'm more comfortable that way. I always put a robe on my bedside table so going out in the middle of the night is no problem.

  • Glad i'm not the only one here.

    I sleep in underwear and bra too. . 

  • I don't sleep in a bra because I find it uncomfortable. Some nights I'll have something covering my top and bottom. Others just my bottom. I used to sleep nude all the time when I lived alone. Now I sleep most nights with just a shirt or nightgown, no panties.
