I wear sweats and old gym clothes around the house, but I don't wear them to bed. First, they aren't as comfortable as a night shirt. Second, they get dirty during the day from cooking, cleaning, whatever, and I always shower before bed and wouldn't want to to sleep in dirty clothes.

I hate clothes on my upper body while sleeping in summer, and need lots of layers to warm up in winter.

Out of bed, I usually wear A Sleeveless T shirt and pajama shorts in summer, and Sweatshirt + tank + Thermals in winter.

Yearly coldest Avg High/Low (January 13th): 35/19 F

Yearly Highest Avg High/Low (July 20th): 87/64 F

The clothes you wear around the house all day will wear out faster if you use them as pajamas, too.

I love getting out of my daily clothing and into a nice cozy pair of pajamas...soft, lightweight, and roomy. I wash up before going to bed and shower in the morning. I hate going to bed feeling sweaty. If it's a particularly hot and humid day, I will shower at night too...then into my comfy pj's. I sleep so much better feeling clean and cozy when I go to bed.

Why would you want to wear your daily wear clothing to bed when they have been exposed to all that dust, perspiration, and grime throughout the day? For people with allergies, I think it would just bring a lot of allergens into your bed...and you would be breathing it in all night.

I don't know about that. Like you said, you may be cleaning the house, etc. My cat may sit on my lap, which he always does...

If you run out to get the mail you may bring pollen in on your clothes and you don't want that in your bed, particles floating around.....

I completely agree. I always change my clothes before bed and on a summer day its quite refreshing to take a hot bath, slip into a nightie or comfy pair of pj's, and crawl into a bed with fresh clean sheets.

I can relate to this. I don't like pajamas because I hate it when the bottoms ride up the legs. I much prefer to sleep in old leggings because they are much warmer. I pull them on when I change clothes after work and lounge around in them and go straight to bed. I do the same with Tees because I wear old worn ones at home.

After work I can seriously change into my pajamas unless I'm going somewhere. But I like to make some attempt to look sexy. Ya never know what that'll get ya! Plus I can be sexy and comfortable. I'm talking some pastel flowery pajama pants with a tank top. Or a slip-type gown. So sweats are out unless I'm at the gym where it would NOT pay to look sexy! (not for me - my guy is possessive)

Ehhhh, not so comfortable for us large-chested women... even a loose nightshirt keeps things from flopping where we don't want them to flop, if you get my drift.

(of course, as a man I assume you don't REALLY get my drift - lol)

No, but I have this terrific mental image rolling around in my head !
