I like being dressed in case of fire, attempted breakin (should really go back to keeping my sword right next to my bed, because I am paranoid), or desire to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night without the resident physicist getting an eyeful.
But the only thing more embarrassing for someone breaking into your residence than nearly being killed by someone with a sword is nearly being nearly killed by someone with a sword who's naked.

Unless you just gut them, in which case they'll be too dead to be embarrassed, but in that case being naked prevents you from having to wash their blood out of your clothes.

This is all hypothetical of course, I have never killed any robbers with a sword while naked. Never. Really. I swear. <.<   >.>

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 that, children, is how snuggies were born.

I can't stand anything beyond underpants anymore. Even shorts and a shirt are too confining when I lave to lay down for an extended period.

If it gets cold, I just cover up with a sheet.

I wear briefs when I sleep. Never boxers, otherwise my Johnson would keep flopping out of the pant legs and terrifying passersby.

I just had to look up what those are, I would not wear one.

It's a wooden sword, so I'd mostly be breaking their collarbones while naked.  Presuming they lacked something like, say, a gun.  And that they woke me up before kneeling on my stomach or whatever.  But it's good to be covering target areas at least a little bit.  Good for distraction.

So yeah, I'm not seeing this working well, but... better than nothing, hey?

Smash them against the head, or the balls or the ankles lol.

See, I was under the impression that it was a metal sword. Even jumping up brandishing a sword would probably be insanely unexpected enough to scare away most intruders. There are plenty of targets who don't sleep with swords, or who just aren't home.

tazers are a good defense too, and can be made out of nothing but disposable cameras and some other household appliances if you know the right designs.

I wear a t-shirt (the only t-shirt I own) and pajama pants.
I'm way to self-conscious to wear less, even in my room by myself. Plus, I hate the feel of a blanket against bare skin.

And I thought my Dad was strange for keeping a weapon handy. Perhaps it's more common than I expected. The presence of a weapon in itself made my Mum paranoid.

It sounds like at least some of you sleep clothed because of other people. If I sleep places with other people besides family I wear more too. I must admit I've wondered what I'd do if there was a fire but clothes aren't high on my list of things to grab between me and the exit.

I've had to quickly dress for school enough times that something like that wouldn't be a problem. I could probably go from naked to dressed in five seconds.

So we have answered this question conclusively.  Americans wear pyjamas so they can more easily swing swords at home intruders.

No further discussion is needed.

Next we shall ask why so many American households have built in laughter tracks.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.
