Why do Americans wear pyjamas?
« on: July 10, 2011, 06:26:18 am »

I see it in almost every movie. Do you guys actually wear pyjamas a lot?

It depends on the temperature, but I tend to just sleep in my underwear and shirt. I do wear oversized lounge pants when I sleep sometimes, if you count that as pajamas. Now if you mean something like:
Spoiler: this (click to show/hide)
then no, never.

There is of course the potential of just sleeping naked, but it almost never gets hot enough in North Carolina to warrant that.

I also tend to accidentally fall asleep in whatever I happen to have been wearing, or just not care enough to bother getting up to take off my jeans, which are comfortable to sleep in anyway.

I think the movies show people wearing pajamas more often than they do in reality.  It lets the movies avoid nudity.

But then the movies affect the way actual people live-- and so, yeah, lots of Americans do wear pajamas.  Not all though.

He he he.  Yeah, it almost looks done...  alas...  those who are in your teens, hold on until your twenties...  those in your twenties, your thirties...  others, cling to life as you are able...<P>It should be pretty fun though.

Underwear. I've never understood why anyone would want to wear anything more. I'd go completely naked too were I a free-er spirit. ;)

Underpants. During the summer I also wear a t-shirt.

I used to wear them in the winter, but as of late i just go in my underwear or in a pair of shorts, don't want to try sleeping butt naked yet, seeing as i live with my folks still and i usually go trough the living room to get to the bathroom in the morning X)

I'm a free spirit. But I'm an European - the liberal, libertine scum of Earth.

I also used to sleep totally naked, but now I sleep without the cover cause it is summer so I can't go naked lol.

Whatever I wear during the day.


I don't wear jeans or other heavy clothing though so it's not uncomfortable.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

I'm European, but I wear underpants + t-shirt. Never really liked sleeping nude or even without a shirt, really.

Unless it's extremely hot, which isn't very often up north in Sweden.

Whatever I'm wearing at the time I fall asleep. That usually amounts to jeans, shirt, sandals and a jacket in the winter.

 I cannot sleep in the nude though, I really hate the feeling of sheets on my skin. I can see a market for people who want to sleep with lighter clothes on but dislike skin sheet contact. And pajama pants that are worn more around the house than in bed.

I wear pajamas about as often as I attend high school with a bunch of sexy 20 somethings who brim with sexual energy.
