What do you guys actually sleep in?

Question

I've been paying more attention to clothing and self care lately, and it made me realize I know surprisingly little about what we actually wear to bed.

Outside of old T-shirts and gym shorts, I don't see much discussion around sleepwear, even though it's something we wear for roughly a third of our lives.

I'm not looking for recommendations, mainly just interested in hearing about different experiences.

I'm curious about a few things tbh:

  • What do you usually sleep in?
  • Have you ever intentionally shopped for sleepwear or loungewear? If so, what prompted it?
  • What did you end up buying, and why?
  • Did you have any frustrations while shopping like with the fit, fabric, price, or maybe even availability?
  • If you don't buy dedicated sleepwear, what keeps you from doing so?

If you've put real thought into what you sleep in, perhaps even having spent money on premium sleepwear or loungewear yourself, I'd really appreciate chatting over DM for 10, maybe 15 minutes tops.

I'd be especially interested in hearing from people who:

  • care about garment fit or fabrics,

  • have athletic or broader builds,

  • live in hot or humid climates,

  • or have invested in higher-quality clothing in general.

Even if your answer is just sleeping on whatever you had for the day or not really thought about it, I'd love to know why as well.

I'm hoping to learn how people actually think about sleepwear rather than making assumptions honestly, so thanks a bunch if you have thoughts or inputs!
