It's not that I think stupidity should be punishable by death. I just think we should take the warning labels off of everything and let the problem take care of itself.
About me: 38 (ish), gay, libertarian. Somewhere. Out there... What the heck is The Daily Slap? E-Mail Me Please note: I love receiving e-mails from anyone, as long as you're not a snotty prick. If you're a snotty prick, feel free to send an e-mail, but plan on being mocked on my site. Thanks! --Rob
Reading Boing Boing today, I came across a link to a site called SleepNaked.org that appears to be one man's solo campaign to encourage the world to sleep naked.
Not only is sleeping naked more comfortable, but it's good for your health too. ... If you sleep with a partner, being naked heightens the level of intimacy between you, and you are likely to have sex more often. ... Sleeping naked allows your body to relax more immediately, and you are more likely to fall into a deeper sleep more quickly and wake up refreshed.
Hmmm... Interesting thing to operate an entire web site about. But I guess it's no worse than admiring hot guys... Of course, as Cory Doctorow on Boing Boing notes:
I hadn't realized that there were people who chose to sleep otherwise these days, but I guess the sinister forces of Big Pyjamas aren't to be underestimated.
So, since the Slap of the Month voting is all wrapped up, let's have another poll...
What do you wear to sleep?
Oh, one more thing...
If you're trying to "cure" your gayness, sleeping naked is simply not an option:
The house rules at Refuge include ... sleeping in "full pajamas (tops and bottoms) or a pair of non-underwear-type shorts and a T-shirt. Nightgowns are not allowed."
Good to know.

I'm with David. Up here in the frozen north, it just isn't possible to sleep while shivering through a winter night. Summertime, though, it's all about sleeping naked.

It starts with pajamas - they ride up and twist and cramp your balls and arm pits!; underwear - Do you sleep in the same ones you wore all day or wear the ones you slept in all night?; that leaves naked. There's nothing like slipping into a cold set of sheets and feeling every nerve in your skin becoming super sensative.

I sleep with just a t shirt on. I like to keep my boys free. Even in the winter i just add comforters to keep cossie. But the T keeps my shoulders warm.

My answer was none of the above - just boxers or (in winter) boxers and pants. No shirt. Only worthwhile sleeping naked if you have someone next to you - unfortunately, not the case for me now :( (yet!)

I would have thought that if you're cold in bed that either it's time for a new (or an extra!) companion, or you need more / warmer bed-linen. A duvet (what do you call that in the US, a comforter?) filled with wool or down / feathers is much better than synthetic.
