Do you sleep in the nude?



Recommended Posts

Wow! A lot of naked sleepers. I feel too exposed also, plus if someone breaks in my house... I don't want to be naked! (isn't that the weirdest statement???)

I have to be the only cold natured fat girl I know. I sleep in a heated waterbed, in PJ's with a fuzzy blanket next to me, then a comforter and finally a very heavy quilt on top of that....then add socks and sometimes a hat and you have me....Lord, what am I going to do when I lose weight!?! I may have to get me a burly man to sleep with (I suppose one for each side would be greedy).:faint:

out of my mind...please leave a message...cat

my husband must have married the wrong chick. Seems like the majority sleep naked. He's always trying to get me to sleep naked. I just can't do it...I feel to exposed.
I'm with you,babe. Old t shirt and jama pants everyday every season.....I'm way to shy especially being overweight. But before the weight i didn't sleep nude. We R Just the Modest Ones...

I slept naked for many years until I had my child relatively late in life. You know, nursing, full breasts etc.

Like a lot of you I used to hate being tangled up in clothes at night.

We spent many years in the cold climate up north, several of those in a small cabin with no running Water. If I had to pee in the night I would climb out of bed into the frigid cabin air, slip on boots and a jacket and shuffle out, bare arsed, in 20 below, sometimes more, weather to the outhouse. I just didn't get it that jammies keep you warm.

One good thing, we had a styrofoam toilet seat in our privvie. Instant warmth on your bottom! Yikes, maybe that's tom.

I actually missed going outside when we finally built our house and got an indoor toilet. I missed being in touch with the weather and I missed the northern lights.

I sleep naked on occasion, but usually in a tee shirt (summer) and LOTS of stuff (like sweats) in the winter. I have come a long way. When I was young, I not only had to have a nightie or PJs in order to sleep, I required underwear, too.

I bought my DH silky PJ pants for Valentine's Day. I want him to wear them to bed, but not necessarily to sleep in. They feel soooooooooo sexy!

What do you mean underpants too. Of course, I wear underpants when I sleep as well as my nightgown. If there's ever a fire, I'm prepared. I've already figured out that I'll throw Mother out her window, round up the pet and save my laptop. But I'll be well dressed with undies on.

I have slept nude for many years. Its the whole tangle thing. I do not sleep restfully (I have PLMD and lack of REM paralysis. I sleep like I'm kickboxing.). Its a big enough trial just to keep the covers on the bed and the things on the nightstand (its only a foot away from the bed-- so sometimes I sweep things off of it, or if its one of those when I am throwing things, or tossing my pillow around, I don't know stuff will end up). Worrying about keeping clothes on me and comfortable is just another irritation- and one I was glad to eliminate. Sometimes I will wake up briefly because I am cold and then I take back some of the blankets from my husband or pick some up off the floor, find my pillows and go back to sleep.

What I really want to know is how to keep my hair from getting knotted and hopelessly tangled. I'm thinking maybe if I try a braid and hairnet... If I can get the hairnet to stay on.

I used to have very long hair and I am a burrower...several pillows and burrow down into them...I kept my hair untangled by doing a loose braid. Just make sure not to tie it with a rubber band....does nasty things to the ends of the hair...good luck!

How do you keep your hair in the braid? Is it a normal braid or a special kind? I've found when I do braids my hair comes out of them, so I was wondering if there was a technique... I also do this wierd repetitive head turning thing in my sleep which I suspects contributes to the knots, but I really hate having to cut them out of my hair after spending thirty minutes with detangler in the mornings. (and yes I have complained to my neurologist about this)

I usually sleep naked or with just a short tee. Anything more I will get tangled up in. If I do fall asleep with clothes on, they are always wadded up at the end of the bed by the time I wake up.

In winter I do go to bed with socks sometimes..those always end up off to though.

Holy Cow! Not only am I armed with underwear and a nightgown, but I also wear socks to bed. I often have to remove them when my feet finally get warm. I have the feeling that I may always be single since I'm just not sexy in bed. I even cover up with my nightgown which is fleece and warm. Oh well, the cat likes to sleep with me.

I will only sleep in a very baggy very fine cotton nightgown or nightshirt. These are getting to be quite hard to find. Everyone buys pajamas these days. And there are a lot of synthetics out there.:rose: I can't wear anything on my lower half; it quickly crawls up and into my arse and then I have to haul it out again. ;)

And I have sensitive skin and am usually too hot! Even in winter, I always have a fan on. I used to sleep nekkid when I was younger and much, much thinner but now I am embarassed. :omg: I also have high thread count bed sheets now that I am an old fart.< img src="https://s.bariatricpal.com/uploads/emoticons/default_laugh.png" alt=":lol:" /> It's the least that I can do for myself, eh.:rose:

sorry it took so long to reply. I would just braid my hair about halfway and then use a comfortable hair band to hold it in place. Stayed braided even on my most restless nights....good luck.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
