How to Dress for Bedtime
The key is comfort, so choose sleepwear that will allow you a good night's sleep.
Things You'll Need:
Boxer Shorts
Lingerie
Men's Bathrobes
Men's Pajamas
Men's Slippers
Women's Bathrobes
Women's Pajamas
Women's Slippers
Step
1
Explore your many bedtime choices, including short and long gowns, fancy lingerie, boxers and a T-shirt, and pajamas (with either short or long legs and sleeves).
Step
2
Consider all the variables: Do you turn off the heat at night? Sleep under a heavy quilt? Open your window? Use the air conditioner? Dress accordingly if you prefer to be warm, very warm, cool or downright chilly.
Step
3
Keep in mind that flannel is warmer than cotton, and cotton will keep you cooler than silk or polyester.
Step
4
Remember that sleeping au naturel (in the buff) is actually warmer than wearing clothes. Until you get out of bed, that is.
Step
5
Stay even warmer with a sleeping cap or knit cap.
Step
6
Retain additional heat by keeping your feet warm and toasty with socks.
Step
7
Wear a robe over a gown or pajamas for extra warmth, or to hide nightclothes in case of guests or surprise visitors.
Tips & Warnings
Extra-large T-shirts are the most common sleepwear among the 20 to 30 set.
Most heat leaves the body through the head and feet, so if you're hot, don't cover them; if you're cold, keep 'em covered.
A sleeping partner will make the bed even warmer and should be counted as a variable.
Active sleepers may experience twisted nightclothes.
