Pyrejamas?
You sleep while on fire?

Correction, I'm on fire while I sleep. I also do other things while on fire.

Because if you're on fire ninjas can't catch you.

OT: When I own my own place, and it's just me and the wife in the bedroom, I do not sleep clothed. My natural fur will suffice.
      When I do not own my own place (as is my current situation), I have the decency to wear at least workout shorts in case someone needs to wake me up.

Up here in the great white north I wear either pajama bottoms and a t-shirt in the winter or ragged cut-off sweats and a t-shirt the rest of the year.  I live with my family so it's partly to preserve modesty, but also so I can just lounge around in the mornings without dressing if I so feel.

On the subject of bed weaponry, I have nothing and don't need anything. I've nearly caused serious injury to both of my parents over the years when they startled me from sleep, I can't even imagine what I'd do to an intruder. This is an inherited trait, as my father is similarly hazardous to suddenly wake up. I'm not really "there" for about 20 seconds after awakening, and during that time period I have the capability to be an extremely dangerous individual should anything make me feel threatened.

I figure that I'd probably be woken up by the intruder, make a flying leap out of my bed across the room, land on and grab onto his head, and then begin yelling in a slavering and inhuman manner as I tried to snap their neck like a twig with my weight. That's assuming he sticks around that long, some of the noises I can make are extremely disturbing to others even when I'm just acting said noises and am not attempting to inflict fatal harm upon them. Like I said before, driving off an intruder who isn't out for you personally is just a matter of making yourself a way too inconvenient target to be worth the effort.

...I'd never really thought about how f**ked up my sleeping arrangements are until now.  :-\
You're not alone, this is how I've slept since I can remember, including the fan (though that's mostly for some noise). Actually, I can top it - I have to wear earplugs too, or random-ass noises like cars going by will wake me up.
:o

I wear earplugs every night, mostly because the sound of *breathing* will keep me awake. When I was growing up, we were far enough out in the country that there was NO noise at night, other than maybe cicadas in the summer. As a result, I have a very hard time falling asleep if there's any perceiveable noise.

Now I'm worried we came out of the same clone tank.


EDIT: And as far as bedside arsenals, I used to have both a wooden sword and a real taijiquan sword by the bed. Then we had kids, who are fond of sneaking into our room in the wee hours of the night and worming their way in between us in bed, like devious cuddle ninjas. So the swords went up in the closet. And, it means I've started wearing a little more to bed sometimes.

Come to think of it, this is a fair point - you should probably be wary of bed weaponry if you know there are people in your house who may wake you up.  Or if you sleepwalk.

(Hey, that would be a good reason to wear pyjamas.  Maybe Americans swordfight in their sleep?)

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.

Boxers in the summer, long flannel pyjama-type pants in the winter. My wife used to wear pyjamas though. I don't really think this is a matter of individual self-body loathing as how much clothing you prefer to have on your way to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

I should probably have my head checked, because I find myself in complete agreement with Nikov.
