How long do you stay in your PJs?

I like to be dressed by 10 even if it's just joggers and an old t shirt. Staying in pyjamas just feels all wrong.
A lot of hospitals have notices encouraging patients who are well enough to do so to get dressed and not be in pj's all day.

This is a bargain, and 5* reviews.
More kaftanesque.

I wonder if its very nylon feeling though?

More kaftanesque, yes very clever !

This could be nice in warmer weather but too chilly on normal/ colder days. The slenderella one is more in line with what I thought I was looking for. The sweatshirt one looks far too cosy for me to get any work done while wearing it but looks brilliant for a day on the sofa!

I sometimes go to bed in my clothes, just in case someone knocks in the night and realises I wear pyjamas.

... you're cracking me up "MissAdventure* with your comments!

That barely heard, little voice of dry humour in the room of serious people making serious observations.

I tested positive for covid two days ago,i haven`t got the energy to un-dress and re-dress.
When well i never stay in bedclothes.

The hospital I was in for nearly 4 months encouraged this.

Whilst it's a good idea and I can see the reasoning behind it, I found it hard to make the nurses who were cheerily encouraging me to 'get dressed' understand that I had no-one at home to wash the frequently blood-stained clothing - my partner is disabled and can barely look after himself.

As I had a room to myself, I sometimes washed a stained item in the hand basin and hung it on the towel rail to dry. Not ideal.

I noticed that some patient's PJs looked more like casual wear than pyjamas... I own a couple of pairs, one with a navy top sporting a nautical logo and striped bottoms, that could quite easily be worn on the deck of a boat and no-one would be any the wiser. And I have answered the door whilst wearing them.

I'm neither dirty or slovenly, and don't suffer from lack of self care, low self-esteem or self-respect, but I sometimes wear my pyjamas all day if I am in my own house, going nowhere and expecting no callers. They are comfortable, I will be washing them after 24 hours, it means my other clothes don't need to be washed, and (for me, personally) self-respect is gained from how I treat others, not superficial things like clothing.

spot on !!

I’m not sure if work would appreciate me in my pjs ?

Funnily enough, this has just popped up on my email feed as I am contemplating getting dressed. It's 11.30 am on Friday. This is fairly normal for me. I have been up and out of bed since 9 am. (I very rarely leave my bed before 9 am.) I like to wander around, have a coffee, load the washing machine, read the news, etc, before I get dressed. I don't work, so have no need to rush out of the house. I love my PJs, and have many, many pairs. I like proper, old school ones, with collar, buttons and piping around the edges.

I’m not sure if work would appreciate me in my pjs

When I worked from home, I was in my pj's, a fleece jumper and my slippers! Who would know? Or care? Even zoom meetings were only from the shoulders up so it didn't matter!

I don't wear PJs as such. In summer I'm in a long cotton wrapover embroidered dressing gown with a t-shirt underneath. Winter either velour trousers and top or a long sleeve fleece dressing gown with long sleeve cotton t-shirt underneath.
Rarely get dressed before noon or 1pm unless I'm going somewhere. But then I don't get up before 9 or 10 and dont usually sleep before 2am. Shower late afternoon or evening. Different body clock than most people

No, I’m not like you Bossyrossy each to their own I’m up at 7am , I couldn’t wear pjs once I’m up to start the day, only way that happens if I’m not well,.

It depends what's on the day's agenda. Sometimes I get up early & get dressed immediately - on GS duty days for example when he arrives at 8 or on yoga days when I have to get to a 9 o clock class. On other days, I can still be in PJs at 11 or later if I've got to go out in decent clothes - no point in putting "pottering about" clothes on first then changing later. Anyway, we live down a very long track & have no neighbours so it really doesn't matter one jot what I wear when!

I'm usually up, washed and dressed by 7.30/8am and then take the dog out for her long morning walk. In the winter when it's lashing with rain and freezing and the dog won't go out it's a different matter. I'm sometimes in my PJs until I've had breakfast and tidied up the house as they are so much warmer and more comfortable than my jeans. My friend bought me a fleece lined poncho that goes down to my knees and it's so thick and warm, I hate having to get out of it when it's cold.

Lol unfortunately only time I wear pjs is if I’m sleeping at my sons house because grandkids get excited and come climb into bed with me or in hospital. If I go in my sleep and someone finds me I will no longer be here to care if see my naked body lol

This is exactly my routine but sadly only one or two days a week! Other times DH and myself often have to be out and about doing ‘stuff’! A term my teenage GKids seem to use when I ask them what they have been doing! As my DH says, we are now spending our retirement getting parts of us mended or glued back together again! You repair one part and another bit ‘breaks off’!

Maybe the only joy of not working full time, is looking out of the window at rain pouring down, and knowing I don’t have to go out in it.
I live with a fluctuating health condition plus Long C****, so sometimes don’t get dressed at home until lunchtime.

Ducks.

As long as you don't walk to the local shops in your PJ's, dressing gown and slippers you can do what you like in your own home. ?X

I get up around 9'ish and throw on something then have breakfast, do some chores, catch up on any business stuff...phone calls , online stuff and then generally faff about , more coffee and sometimes a bit more faffing. I have a shower around 11-12. Then I can do 'outside' things or have people over. I try to leave the time for myself until 2pm. It's my time and my life and I can do what I want but it is sometimes hard to not feel I should be achieving more. What this 'more' actually is I have no idea? I think it probably relates way back to childhood when I was bullied by my mother and told I was lazy!! Actually I was always a bit of a dreamer with an excellent imagination and my mother saw this as unfit for life!!

You sound a lot like me! I too, spend hours faffing about in the mornings, and I am seldom ready to leave the house before 2 pm. I am easily sidetracked, and can spent ages going down rabbit holes on the internet. I am very happy in my retirement, because I am finally "allowed" to take it easy, doing what I want, when I want, with nobody around any more to accuse me of being 'lazy', just because I am a bit of a dreamer, and operate at a slow, relaxed pace.

My 2yr old granddaughter and I emptied the paddling pool in our pjs this morning. All our bits were covered so don’t see a problem. I wouldn’t do the same in the front garden though. I sometimes like to get a few jobs done before showering and dressing - -playing candy crush on the iPad- -

After breakfast usually dressed by 9

Weeks at a time - not the same pair. I do change them every 24 hours. I'm not leaving my home or my garden except in a wooden box so who cares. The Undertaker won't, nor will thedirctir who signs the certificate. I'm clean so who cares. My kids don't. Their friends known I'm ill. I'll spend my days comfortable thank you and not relying on people to dress me. I can just about do my pls myself.

Normally up, showered and dressed by 8 am but now and again, especially in winter, I have a jama day and chill out. I don’t think it’s slovenly just free choice and not hurting anyone

I usually wear nightdress and try to make sure I'm dressed for mid-day. I'm happy pottering around, reading or watching TV and get washed and dressed whenever. I'm definitely a night owl as I can still be going at 2am so don't see any problem with it! I live alone and am free to live as I choose . . . If I need to be out and about early, I will be there otherwise, my life, my choice and very happy

I totally agree! I'm 80 now worked all my life, live alone and please myself! Nobody's business what I do !

I’m normally up and running by 8am but occasionally I have a jama day and just chill out. It’s not slovenly, free choice and not hurting anyone. Incidentally the recent hot nights have led me to dig out a couple of cotton nighties I’ve had for years, so more comfortable in the heatwave
