From what I have heard, Pajamas are what parents start to wear when their kids turn 3. I personally go with a T-shirt and shorts during the summer, sometimes down to shorts. During winter, I wear ridiculous amounts of clothing. It gets cold up here.

tazers are a good defense too, and can be made out of nothing but disposable cameras and some other household appliances if you know
Would you believe that as part of my preparation for moving out next summer, I have already made two tazergloves for home defense and magic tricks alike? I'm not a fan of guns, so I decided that being as shocking as possible would have to do.

Er, keep local/state laws in mind when you do this, if you're in the US. Stunguns and tasers are illegal in some places. If you're outside the US, I have no idea.

In Rural USA, tazers police you!

But seriously, it's legal.

I wear underpants. Sleeping nude happens occasionally, but only if Australia is trying to kill me with the sun again. It happens less often than you'd expect.

Here in Southern Handland (you know, where there are buildings and stuff,) tazers are not so legal.

Legal where, though? It sure as hell isn't in my state.

And for a defensive weapon, decent tazers are expensive as hell. I mean, damn, decent handguns and shotguns are cheaper.

It probably is, that's the draw of Australia, absolutely everything is going to try and kill you. :p

Rubber gloves, a soldering kit, and a few disposable cameras make things a fair bit cheaper.  ;D

Wow I like how a lot of those states circle Connecticut yet we allow it with restrictions.  I wonder what the exact restrictions are.

If you're talking about self defense, I prefer the homemade stabby/shooty.

Some of those mini-crossbows are simply lethal - also, the fact that cane and umbrella swords are "illegal" in CA makes me laugh.

Australian.
Either nude when it is hot or in long pyjamas pants when it is cold, because sleeping in shirts is just annoying.

Nude is the way to go no matter where you are. If it's too cold, get more people in bed with you.

I'm sure the safety of this is top-notch, right.

I think the best defense for your bedroom is to develop your BO until it becomes weaponised.

Nothing like several Warcrime worthy smells eminating from your bedroom to ward off any would be attackers.

Even if they were brave, or noseless, enough to attempt it the straits of bacteria would eat the skin right off their backs.
