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.

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      3. NickelChip

        I think it's important to remember that the weight charts and BMI ranges were developed a very long time ago and only intended to be applied to people who have never been overweight or obese. Those numbers aren't for us. When you are larger, especially for a long time, your body develops extra bone to support the weight. Your organs get a little bigger to handle the extra mass. Your entire infrastructure increases so you can support and function with the extra weight. That doesn't all go away just because you burn off the excess fat. If you still had a pair of jeans from your skinniest point in life and then lost weight to get to the exact number on the scale you were when those jeans fit you, chances are they would be a little baggy now because you would actually be thinner than you were, even though the scale and the BMI chart disagree. When in doubt, listen to the jeans, not the scale!

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
