Q&A - Tell me about it

[liminal_space]

In an effort to worm my way into your brainz (BRAINZ!), I shall start asking a variety of questions on a semi-weekly basis.

Just like a chain letter, you will receive great luck if you respond (cue skeery music) and if you don't respond, you may end up......not sharing information with me.

=D

QUESTION #1 -
What do you prefer to wear when sleeping and why?

Please answer in comments and have your WONDERFUL GOOD LUCK today. :))

I love long sleeve t-shirts and nightgowns, the longer the better. I love wearing socks.

My FAVORITE nighty is a flannel midcalf that is the perfect everything for winter sleeping.

[circumspectly.livejournal.com]

I prefer a big tee shirt (long...as in "covers my butt") or a night shirt...which is basically a big ole tee shirt.

So yeah. :)

T shirt and undies, most comfortable.

A sports bra (my boobs are big and it hurts if they don't have at least some support, and a sports bra moves with me. Doesn't have to be a high impact sports bra or anything bc.....it's for sleep), undies (I have to have SOME things covered or I feel uncomfortable, but I don't care for anything on my legs bc I'm an active sleeper and will usually push pants up into weird and uncomfortable angles from so much movement. comfy cotton shorts, if in public......except when I room with a few friends who are just SO USED to the concept of Kristin and no pants that it just doesn't bother them. And occasionally if I'm FREEEEEZING, footie pj's are okay, bc the legs can't bunch up on me!), and a tank top (again, so my arms aren't so restricted. I do tend to be a pretty warm person in general, and like to be cool so I don't get overheated when snuggling up under my blankets cozily! I can't sleep if I'm too warm!

my preference is pj pants and a cami.

In my scandalous pre-kid life, I always slept in the buff. Now that I'm supposed to be "dignified" (*snort*), I wear a nursing nightgown that's basically just a longer version of a nursing tank. Oddly enough, I was just thinking about this as I got ready for bed last night. Because Madeline sleeps through the night now (usually), I don't need the "quick-release" function of my nighties anymore. So I could wear something else if I wanted. But I like the built-in bra and switching to a regular nightgown would mean that I'd need to wear a sleep bra underneath.

Oh, and socks in bed? Torture!! When I was a baby, I used to cry when my mom tried to put footie pajamas on me. She actually had to cut the feet off of all my pj's or I'd scream and run around the house, shaking my poor imprisoned tootsies!

I love the way you phrase the threat. :)

I wear a T-shirt (long-sleeved sometimes in the winter). Don't like anything on the bottom half of me, cuzza it getting squinched up when I roll around. Also even if I think socks will be good when I get in bed when it's cold, I inevitably want them the hell off, feel constricted by them, before long.

Was in an interesting conversation with some other fucked-up people not too long ago in which we discussed our weird sleeping hang-ups/particularities. Everybody had at least one. The "escape hatch" (one of mine) was not uncommon.

Anyway, I dig the chain letter questions (and folks' answers). Do keep 'em coming!

Sleep shirt that goes to about mid-thigh...I prefer 3/4 sleeve but those are hard to find right now.

No undies or pants, EVER! And socks? That's heresy!

I like to dress up like a Harlequin.

[4hour-ramona.livejournal.com]

when i'm sleeping alone, i get all cozy in pajama pants and a baggy t-shirt (wintertimes) or undies and a baggy tank top (summertimes). when i'm sleeping with newjeff, i sleep nekkid.

[ar-wahan.livejournal.com]

In warm weather? Nothing. Too hot for clothes!

Other weather: A nightgown (flannel preferred). I like the way they fall, and they seem warmer than pajamas for some reason. Maybe because they have so much more fabric to bunch up against me...

In all seasons: one or more cats as accessory heating pads.

I sleep in some sort of top/bottom combo. In warmer weather that usually consists of a tank top and cotton bottoms, either pants or boxers. In cold weather I still sometimes wear the same but change it up with a t-shirt and fleece bottoms if it's REALLY cold! :) Sleeping without wearing anything means I sweat, a lot, and that's just an icky feeling!

[liminal-space.livejournal.com]

nekkid sleeper! =D

i like being pretty darn cool when sleeping, too. :)

[cienna2000.livejournal.com]

Winter is 2 piece pajamas with long sleeves and sometimes socks if my feet are freezing. Summer is 2 piece pajamas with capris and short sleeves.

[liminal-space.livejournal.com]

sounds very stylish! :)

Here is both my answer and my new diet plan for you all.

Getting ready to eat dinner? Think about this.

Nothing.

funny, funny. :)

I love ancient soft, solid color v-neck t-shirts with a pair of Soma purple pajama pants that are super breathable and non-sweat making (i tend to get hot when I sleep).

[zimon66]

Sweatpants, large tshirt, and socks. I like to be comfortable and warm.

[lindapendant.livejournal.com]

Eileen West nightgowns (I'm so spoiled), just below shin length, cap sleeves, pure cotton, white only.

Up until last year, it was either a nightie or a big T-shirt. I couldn't stand anything on my legs in bed - felt all tangled up and the legs would get bunched up over my knees.

Then, the place I lived in last year had lots of windows and a street outside and since I like to lounge in my nightwear both before going to bed and after getting up in the AM, I needed pants. I found capri-length sleep pants that were really thin, silky cotton. And they worked well. No bunching.

Then!! When I started staying overnight more at my boyfriend's, and his bedroom has no heat, I got flannel-ish sleep pants and I've learned to like them.

And in the winter - socks. Always.

But if it's really hot, it's still a nightie. Or a cami and underwear.

Probably much more than you really wanted to know, huh?

I have gotten way into soft Simply Vera jammies from Kohl's. Sometimes, though, I just wear granny panties to bed.

[lyris-avedis.livejournal.com]

I prefer to sleep in t-shirts, but especially the longer sleep shirts, particularly the super soft ones I get from Victoria's Secret. While I enjoy wearing satiny slips to bed, my bare shoulders don't like the exposure (and the cold air that we keep blowing at night to offset the oven that my husband becomes when he sleeps), especially when the sheets and the comforter creeps down from around them as I sleep or turn in the night. My feet have to be bare!

I hope it is ok for a guy to answer....

For me, just my boxer briefs.
