How long do you stay in your PJs?

Nightie, not PJs, but I am always dressed by 8.30.
At night I get into bed as soon as I have put my nightie on. I hate hanging around, whereas DH goes back downstairs in his PJs to watch more TV.

Do those that wear nothing in bed change bedding more often than those that wear nightwear?

I wear a nightie and as it is next to my skin change it every 2 nights, sheets would be next to skin and sweat so I would feel the need to change them every 2 days.

Pyjamas, to me, are like underwear so would feel the need to change every day.

I have no criticism of those that wear PJs, nighties or nothing during the day, wear what keeps you comfy.

I like to be dressed before around 9.30 or 10-ish at the latest. As it's so hot I wonder if I'd be more comfortable in my PJs for much longer (even all day) but I just don't feel right. I'd have to be very ill not to follow this routine.

Six mornings a week I am up, showered and dressed by 8.30 am. The remaining day I have to take an alendronic acid tablet so I’m up before 8 am, take my tablet, stand up for 30 minutes, have breakfast. Shower etc., after that.

wake up, take the tablets, shower and clean pj bottoms with a top, have tops-tshirts i just wear about the house, if i do go out i change it pj bottoms as soon as i get home. i would never go out in pjs and if people come to the door and don't like it then tough, i like to be comfortable rather than dressed up.

Another one here who doesn't wear anything to bed. I usually put on a dressing gown, (fleecey in winter, silk in summer) for breakfast then I have a bath and dress. I do most of my chores by midday and in the evening I dress for dinner.
I would only be found in a dressing gown after 9am if I was seriously ill.

Up at eight, shower and dress. Wouldn’t dream of going outside in night clothes. Our neighbours do though. He waters his front garden in his pjs !!!!!

Is his “front garden in his pjs” a euphemism?

I sleep in my birthday suit, so I dress as soon as I am out of bed.

This latter habit is mainly due to having been seriously ill as a child of seven and spending two months in nighties and dressing gowns. I swore "Never again" and have stuck to it.

Never eat breakfast in bed either - meals in bed bring that time all to clearly to mind.

I only get dressed to walk the dog. My pyjamas are all cotton and loose fitting so they’re great when it’s hot and I just add a fleece when it’s cold. Thankfully I stocked up on them pre pandemic!

If I'm going out somewhere, I'll get showered and dressed etc by about 9. I'm not going anywhere today, so it was 10ish when I did that - after feeding, brushing and cuddling the cat , emptying the dishwasher, colouring my hair, watching "Frasier"

I wear my mums old dressing gown.
It zips,from neck to knees and looks like upholstery material.
I've no problem going out to the washing line or to water my plants in it.
It's not likely to elicit much reaction.

Actually reading the posts made me realise I don’t wear PJs so I actually am naked walking to the shower. I have a t-shirt I sometimes pop on to run down and make a cuppa first thing.

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.

Totally agree, I’m another who wears my nightie all day if I want to! I have a fairly active social life but often have a couple of days with nothing planned and then I love to please myself when to get up and get dressed. I have bouts of insomnia so I need my days of rest to catch up on my sleep.

Zoone - I agree, the best bit about being retired is not having to rush around in the morning.
Doodledog - also agree, it’s nothing to do with not having self respect or self esteem, quite the opposite, I’m not out to impress anyone, happy in my own skin.

I get dressed as soon as I get up, which is 04:30.

I generally get up and dressed before going downstairs so to stay in pyjamas is rare unless I am I’ll. I usually get up by 7 or half past.

No nightie or PJs for me after 8am, my two dogs are waiting for their walk so there is no peace until I am dressed and out of the door. Just time for a quick drink of water first. Juice and breakfast when we get back.

I’m another birthday suit sleeper but have a dressing gown for when we have guests around and to trot and fill my morning chamberpot ☕️ in winter!

I reluctantly wear jammies at times as I don't want to die in my sleep and my family to be further traumatised by the sight of my naked body. When wearing them I won't change until ten o'clock or so if I'm not going anywhere. I would have to be dressed to be in the garden though as there is a pervy neighbour who would probably appear.

It depends what I’m doing in any particular day.
I never stay in them past around 10 ish though.
If I’ve a busy day and nothing happening in the evening then I might put them on early evening to relax.

? Calli!

I don’t wear pyjamas, but I have been known to wear a dressing gown until lunchtime. I do that my much less now I’m retired, as I’m not tied to a bloody computer half the week or more, but it isn’t uncommon for me to not get dressed until 11ish - up, tea, book, more tea, papers, more tea, book,.. I retired in part so I could say goodbye to rushing around in the morning.
