What do you sleep in?

Jeni wow, woman of action! I do hope they work, they do feel lovely and seem to last really well. A decent nights sleep is so important - I take melatonin which is available in the US, but banned here. I've been taking it for twenty odd years, it works and no groggy feelings in the morning. The only side effects are vivid dreams but I can cope with those.

At this time of year: an old T-shirt, flannelette PJs on top, cashmere snood flung over the exposed part of my head, cashmere wristwarmers. Less during the warmer parts of the year. I also have a Toscana sheepskin gilet folded in three to rest my calves and feet on. Very effective in reducing pain as well as keeping them warm, I've found. When I turn onto my side, I shift the sheepskin to under my knee for the same reasons (pain reduction and warmth).

Am I the winner (for the most bedclothes)?

Nothing. Can't bear to be all trussed up in bed! If it's cold I wear a T shirt sitting up in bed. Also have a pair of Qantus pj's which I wear to preserve dignity if staying away - just whip them on if I hear anyone approaching...

Bags I'd love to be a fly on the wall

I am definitely a Princess and the Pea type. I can feel the seams on clothes digging into my skin and can't fall asleep with a top on, so just wear knickers.

that is quite an ensemble bags but I know what it is like to have a really cold room from my NZ experience. Wish I'd had a cashmere snood to keep my ears warm but had to make do with putting head under 3 duvets.
Movealot you rebel you! Sleeping in the nude in hospital. Had you not mugged up on the unwritten rules of being in hospital before you went in? You shocker! (I think this is an idea for a new thread...)
Absent - very impressed with your ability to discuss metaphysical poetry with male nurse while unclad. But if you had asked for a little gown round your shoulders we would have understood because "this coyness lady were no crime".
Me? Long white thin cotton nighties with long sleeves. I get hot, but my shoulders and arms get cold. Favourites are a plain vaguely caftan shape from Bonsoir.

I don't think my bedroom is particularly cold – rarely falls below 12°C even in mid-winter, I just feel the cold, I guess, and my joints seem to have this wonderful ability to absorb cold, so if I put my knee, say, on a cold(er) bit of sheet, it starts to hurt. Weird.

Maybe I need to start sleeping on bear skins.

My shoulders and upper arms are like that. Get to the aching with cold stage within a few minutes.

Wearing at the moment pj bottoms and one of M&S cotton v-neck t-shirts which I buy when they are on offer for 2 x £10.00 come in all colours all must be cotton, during the summer a loose cotton t-shirt and shortie pants most of the colours I've got are pink of course.My bedroom must be cold can't sleep if too hot and always have the window open a touch.

The odd thing is that I am such a cold rifed person otherwise. I have such dry skin that in the very cold winters my shins bleed so I'm always well wrapped up during the day.

Maybe our thermostats are not perfectly adjusted? I feel the heat as well, and seem to be hypersensitive to the minutest change to less than very 'fresh' air. Stuffy rooms make me feel ill very quickly.

Pyjamas. And sometimes fluffy bedsocks if I can't get to sleep, because these seem to be comforting!

Well to my fleece Pjs and often bed socks, my bedtime routine is also a small neck pillow to stop my neck aching and a very large pillow under my knees and the small towel under the back.
Before a phsyiotherapist suggested those last two my lower back facet joints would lock if I lay flat and when I got up in the morning my whole back would go into spasm and it would take a while to unlock it to get it moving.

I think flannette sheets would be more my style than silk.

I wonder if there is a genetic content to those who sleep hot and those who sleep cold. I have alway tended towards being cold when sitting still or sleeping maybe its my basic metabolism.

I sleep in PJ's usually with bed clothes either up to my nose or thrown off entirely. I just can't seem to get it right and spend most of the night hunting for the duvet or fighting to get out of it to cool down.

As long as my feet are warm, night or day, the rest of me is OK. I sleep with the duvet up to my ears though and as I am not a restless sleeper - and, of course, being single, I sleep alone - it stays there all night.

Bags love the sheepskin plan. This year, seeing all the babies reclining cosily on sheepskins, I thought 'I want to do that' so when we were in Devon in October, I bought 3. They've given the lounge a real medieval look (chucked over the backs of couches and chairs) but boy are they popular for when we put our feet up. Might drag one of them into bed with me now ...

Restless legs last night plus sciatica giving me a pain in my big toe and on the top of my foot. And family coming today!
Help!

A comfy, cotton night-time bra to support my breasts. Can't abide feeling lumps sneaking under my armpits when prone. A tartan brushed-cotton, knee-length night-shirt...with sleeves. No knickers - as I need to wee [urgently] several times during the night and find that time is of the essence...

...do have a pair of Sloggis under my pillow...just in case of fire.

Nothing
