I sleep with mine on sometimes because I get too tired to change into my pajamas at night when I go to bed. I get home so late at night and then I stay up till 2 watching TV and doing the computer, sometimes I do videogames but I get so damn tired I just to to bed without even bothering to take off my clothes. I notice how I don't have get dressed when I wake up. I did it again last night because I had to get up at nine AM this morning to take my car in to get the oil changed and I didn't want to pick out my clothes when I am so tired. I hate picking out my clothes, maybe that's why some aspies wear the same clothes everyday and don't have a lot of outfits. I am always tired when I wake up every morning; I have been lately, I dunno why. I have to get up even earlier tomorrow because I see my shrink tomorrow at nine. Besides my room is always cold because it's getting colder out now so I sleep cold in my room so clothes help keep me warm and I am thinking about adding more blankets to my bed. I have no vents in my room.

Sometimes when I fall asleep down stairs watching TV. Always when on vacation though I can never get comfortable and rarely sleep. In hotels I usually sleep fully clothed and on top of the blankets with my own blankets and pillows I bring myself if I sleep at all :-[ As for the same outfits every day they look the same but most of my cloths do because when I find something comfortable that I like I buy in bulk for example I have seven of the same blue shirt I wear a lot
-
i sleep in my clothes. sometimes i take socks and pants off. i toss and turn a lot.
-
I don't think I've ever fallen asleep with clothes. Usually sleep in a light cami top and soft flannel or light cotton shorts, as close to naked as I can get without being naked, I can't sleep naked.
I have issues.
:stoned:
-
Aw, jeeze. I voted 'sometimes' because
I thought you meant as opposed to naked. :laugh:
I pretty much change into sweats, when I get home,
but when I'm lazy (or cold), I'll pass out in them.
-
It's usually too hot to sleep with clothes on in north Orange County.
Durring our summer heat waves, I sleep on top of the covers, naked, with a fan blowing on me.
-
I prefer sleeping in my boxers, but if people are around I sleep in my clothes.
-
Sometimes I do, if I fall asleep on the couch. I usually wear a nightgown to bed, but sometimes if it is really cold or if I am visiting someone, I wear pajamas.
-
I sleep naked. I find clothes hot and uncomfortable in bed.
-
Sometimes, it depends how tired I am.
-
I generally sleep in t-shirt and shreddies, since I kip on the couch.
-
I often LOSE my clothing,
if I sleep in them.
-
I dont wear clothes in bed, unless it is freezing.
I mean whats the point.

:stoned:
I can't sleep nude either. I usually sleep in a teeshirt (summer) or a sweatshirt (winter) and underwear; sometimes socks, too. If I'm staying at my grandparents' or something, I add boxers in lieu of pajama shorts. And if I'm freezing to death, I'll also wear a hat. :laugh:
-
I only sleep in clothes if I am too exhausted/drunk to get down to my boxers and just pass out on my bed (which is how I usually sleep). Doesn't happen too often, but I had to vote sometimes.
-
I'll also wear a hat. :laugh:

I have not laughed so hard in awhile.

I used to wear an old korean war winter hat
to sleep in. Well, that and the rest of my armor.

Oh shit I am getting really drunk or dunk. :pwned:

The difference between
drunk and dunk is really

What do you dislike about sleeping nude?
-
I only fall asleep if I fall asleep watching TV, however when I was a teenager, I used to sleep with my clothes on quite often when I wasn't living on the streets, and always when I was on the streets.
-
I generally prefer to sleep naked but since I often end up with a child in bed with me at some point I usually just sleep in whatever t-shirt I had on that day- this is mainly cos the kids are getting older now and whilst I don't want them growing up thinking there's anything wrong with the human body I also wonder if seeing your parents naked will have any kind of effect on them when they grow up. :laugh: (Also the youngest two have very sharp elbows so its also offers some protection for sensitive areas :laugh: )
-
What do you dislike about sleeping nude?
Well, it has nothing to do with the thought of "OMG I'm nekkid." It just doesn't feel comfortable. It's probably an inexplicable tactilce hangup thing, I suspect.
-
No, I sleep naked. That way, if anyone should come into my room in the middle of the night I can scare them off or subdue them if needs me with my flab.
-
I always sleep in my clothes. Pajama-free since 1985. :M
-
Do you put clean clothes on in the morning after waking up? Or before going to bed?
Only when I fall asleep unplanned in the middle of the day I sleep in my clothes.
Feeling not well, even for a nap of an hour I will strip. Sleeps so much better, no arguments with sleeves and such.

Every morning I shower and put on clean clothes. I must always be clothed whem sleeping. :tard:
-
I shower in the morning too. Unless my hair needs washing before the next day then I will do that at night. Then it is two showers a day. :zoinks:
I have pyjama pants that I wear to bed plus a load of old t-shirts. I always sleep with clothes on too.
-
Aww damn, ren ;)
Hehehe.
I've been kipping on the sofa, sleeping during the day, its been searing hot during the day, but the meds I'm on ensure a good sleep, my room always gets boiling hot, and I've BARELY been even in to my room, only when I need something that is up there. Just wearing my baggy combat trousers, no
top, and sleeping on the sofa with my bad knee supported by a cushion or two. Its nice and comfy, especially with another cushion for under my hips
and one or more for back support. Been staying awake all night until about 8-9am playing videogames in the cooler night time, and just cutting out the heatwave, in a manner of speaking.
-
Don't really like showers in the morning usually it too much of a rush to get out the door. As far as sleeping goes I wear either sweats or sweat shorts and a tee shirt most times which I change into pretty much once I am in for the night after I take a shower. When I go to the flea market and get up at 230-300 in the morning I just wear what I am wear to the market when I go to bed
-
That's a good trick when you have to get up that early, Parts.
Last night I wore a hoodie to bed on top of what I normally do because I was cold and we don't have heating.
-
Sleeping in one's clothes is a wonderful way to save time and laundry! :2thumbsup:
-
The only time I slept in my clothes was when I was traveling from the states to South Africa. Other times I don't remember why I fell asleep to begin with :-/
All I knew from before was that I couldn't breathe through my nose. (Spoiler Alert: It was sleep apnea because of my weight issues)
-
I'd keep you warm any day (or night, rather, well, both) of the week ren my dear :)
*snuggles and squeezes*
-
At my age I don't really care what I'm wearing (or not wearing) as long as I can get to sleep.
-
I can't sleep in the clothes I've worn all day...even if I never went out of the house the entire day.
Have to shower also...and wash my hair before bed.
Like I said before...issues. :laugh:

I'm with QV. And all the more in winter, and ESPECIALLY if I've been up days and nights etc. attending to a project, then at the end, or if its something I can permit myself to temporarily shut down and restart or leave to take place without its needing supervision, taking it off any heat, I'll just flop down in the nearest comfortable spot. Typically this means ending up on the sofa spark out, possibly still wearing my protective gear if I'm tired enough, it has happened before, quite a few times.
-
I strip and sleep naked. Sometimes I'll wear a shirt, when my shoulders are aching.
-
I do prefer to sleep starkers. Its just I've been sleeping downstairs recently on the sofa a lot, falling asleep in front of the TV, after staying up late reading journal reference articles. And if I didn't leave at least trousers on then my old man would end up walking downstairs for his breakfast and if I'd rolled over or kicked the quilt off in my sleep, witness me with my bollocks swinging in the wind, draped over the sofa and my dick would get sore, constantly swinging likewise whilst in contact with the floor :P

I generally do not sleep with clothes on, except in winter when it is cold I use a t-shirt and sometimes very loose fitting jammy bottoms.
I voted sometimes, because I sometimes fall asleep, totally exhausted, on the couch in my work clothes for a couple of hours. Do not sleep well, more like emergency, self defense sleep, but still beneficial.
I enjoy a shower about half an hour before hitting the sack. I like for my hair to mostly dry (my hair now hangs to near my shoulders since not cutting it last year. I have not grown out my hair since I was about twenty five years old - over thirty five years. I actually look really cool these days. :LOL:) and a half hour or so allows me to mellow out after the stimulation.

I miss men with long hair. :'(
It's rare anymore, especially around here. My son likes his longer and my BIL and MIL are always harping on him about it.
I told them to stifle or I would dye it blue for him next. >:D
Still will if he ever so desires. ;)
-
Can't.

Awww
As long as it is not tied up in a man bun, long hair is an asset for a lot of men.
Dyeing the hair of offspring in amazing colours is great fun. Time to motivate your son to go for it. Electric lizard from manic panic is an amazing green, a colour that lasts long too.

My massive beard is sometimes seen in other men, even twenties guys who CAN, sometimes, but usually the bearded wonder has shaven his head. Not like a Nazi skinhead thing, since most of these guys are more like dystopiate era hippies or biker leftovers.
It is rare to see a guy who has long-ish hair AND a massive beard around here.
One day, I had just finished my shift and I was waiting for the security guy to have my bag and lunchbox and coat searched so I could leave the building, when this Vietnam era veteran with hair down to the middle of his back and beard down past his chest (I found out later he was a veteran after quite a bit of conversation) approached me and said, "Fond greetings, fellow brother of the "bush." How do you find yourself?"
I chuckled a bit and told him that I am not lost.
He extended his hand and introduced himself as (eventually, a retired mechanical engineer from the local Eli Lilly research facility. We had an extended conversation and the other two "old guys" both clean shaven and short haired - one guy is an old navy vet from the same era, other is an eastern block eighties era emigrant, Bulgarian - joined in after a bit.) a "friend to all and a gatherer and accumulator of all manner of brethren of the bush." Hilarious!
:lol1:
The guy had personality PLUS!!
I did help my daughter do her hair in "Electric Purple Flame" (short lived dye) just before Halloween. She had a blast with it, but of the amazing portraits we took with her funky hair and witchy outfit, she chose the prints to be all black and white. After some manipulation before going to monochrome I had some creepy highlights showing up in her dark hair that worked well in B&W. Really cool, actually, but do not ask. I will not ever post pics of my kids online.
Sorry.

About to sleep again. My clothes are taking a nap without me.
-
I have long hair IQ, really long. Its down to where my boobs would be if I was female. Sometimes a nuisance actually, mainly when fitting my gas mask on.

What if you tied your hair back first? I used to do that when wearing my mask watering mushrooms. I would tie my hair quite low so the mask would fit better.
-
Had no hair ties. Need to get some. Also I've started shaving apart from a little patch under my lip and re-growing my goatee again, or as some call it 'the devil beard'. Plus I have to get the mask on, tie it so its tightly fitted, then put on my goggles and finally, don the adjustable blast shield that flips down over my face covering everything down from the top of the head to upper chest level.
Will be needing those, especially for today's lab-work, saved the side-arm of the alembic that broke yesterday whilst ful of white phosphorus, and fused one end closed with a torch and pair of heated pliers, going to pack it with red phosphorus mostly, and then torch, carefully, after filling the deadspace with inert gas to prevent ignition of the phosphorus, fuse it closed at the open end and, outside, start torching the bejeebers out of it until the red turns to white, since I was unable to recover the phosphorus I'd produced yesterday, only a small amount was trapped during the distillation, much stayed in the flask, and what was left in there, a mixture of red P, soaked in white to make a begrugingly pyrophoric solid solution, as the molten willy pete soaked into the remaining quantity (did a couple of hundred grams or so) and made it unfit for use as a reagent, so I just took it into the garden and allowed it to burn, watching it as it did and flicking bits over the garden to watch the smoking trails of blazing greenish-yellow lurid coloured liquid fire, dripping blobs of willy pete along the trajectory of the flicked pieces, and spitting off bits of WP at an angle, themselves burning and cracking and sparking with that eerie white-green-yellow fire.
It was quite fun, although fucked off about the loss of my alembic, I need to buy another one now, think I'll buy two or three actually just because, and this time make SURE its borosilicate heat resistant glass. I'd really love to have some made out of fused quartz, since those could withstand REALLY intense heat, way above what the torches here can produce, even with supplemental oxygen.
So, after working a full night and day, before losing the product, which wasn't recoverable since it just burst into flames the instant it escaped from the alembic (which was filled with inert gas and purged thoroughly with the tube submerged in a long volumetric tube full of water. This time, I'll try doing it in a sealed, argon-purged tube, which I've had success with in the past. I WILL have my violet phosphorus, never mind it taking up to two days stewing in molten lead, and concentrated nitric acid to dissolve away the lead. At least I'll end up with useful lead nitrate as a byproduct and recrcle that. Need to buy some fuming nitric acid (I always buy my acids as concentrated as I can obtain, with the exception of perchloric acid, which is extremely dangerous above about 65% concentration. Well perchloric acid is just dangerous no matter what, but at least at that conc. or less, it doesn't explode. Wouldn't mind some perchloric anhydride though. But its probably the commonly available acid, bar the deadly as hell hydrofluoric acid, which I really don't want to ever work with if I can avoid it, its probably the most notorious non-niche chemical there is amongst chemists. Skin contact, despite being a relatively weak acid is potentially fatal, even for a smallish exposure to dilute HF solution because it passes through the skin really easily and chelates the calcium from your blood, bones, and precipitates i as an insoluble calcium fluoride salt, also causing massive hypocalcaemia interfering with and potentially stoppingthe heart. HF is REALLY nasty shit, and it needs handling in teflon containers, because it dissolves its way straight through glass. Perchloric, HClO4, is one of the strongest of the mineral acids, special superacid combinations aside, and a trace on skin of concentrated acid will burn potentially down to the muscle. I've had it happen once. Its safe, sort of, at up to about 65-70% but above that it becomes unstable and explosive. Also one needs, if using a fumehood rather than handling cooled right down, outside, at arms length with heavy, heavy protective gear, special dedicated fumehoods for perchloric, because of the potential to form explosive organic perchlorates in fume hood ductwork and filters. Very, very strongly acidic and a powerful oxidizing agent. Also, it needs to be avoided ever spilling it on a wooden benchtop because it can render the parts of the bench itself explosive and shock-sensitive, potentially leading to an exlosion years later. HCLO4 is one to be very, very careful with :P
So after the long work on the phosphorus, I was again tired enough to just flop down on the sofa. Plus it was too cold. So I wanted to be wrapped up under the quilt.

Hydrofluoric acid is referenced a few times in Breaking Bad. :heisenberg:
-
It gives even me the creeps at the thought of working with it. Its actually the weakest of the hydrohalic acids, excluding oxyacids, but of those composed of just hydrogen and a halogen, HF is the weakest, they get stronger going down from chlorine, bromine and iodine. Hypothetically hydroastatic acid (from astatine) and IF it behaves like a halogen, the superheavy element tennesine, hydrotennesic acid would be the strongest, although it may behave closer to a noble gas more similar to argon, krypton, neon, xenon etc. It and astatine though are extremely radioactive, the half-life of astatines longest lived isotope is only a little over 8 hours, and a visible sample would emit so much radiation as to instantly vaporize itself. Its never actually been seen in solid form. Creating enough to try and cool a sample down has never been done, only micrograms or maybe milligrams have ever been made at any one time. So hydroiodic acid is the strongest of the common hydrohalic acids, not deadly poison like HF, but its a damn strong acid, and it'll eat holes in a steel lab clamp-stand block from just a drop or two. Also a strong reducing agent, particularly when combined (and I bet breaking bad wouldn't leave this out) with red phosphorus (it creates phosphorus triiodide, which although unstable and not storable as a purified reagent, can be prepared and used in-situ, the PI3 iodinating the substrate then the HI reducing the iodide usually to a saturated alkane, the PI3 hydrolyzing as it does so, and making itself available to more HI in a catalytic cycle. Its a harsh set of conditions, though and not suitable for delicate substrates of many kinds. But its a well known reaction, chemists AFAIK often resorted to it as the reducing agent version of pounding their substrates with a sledgehammer and its also used in making meth, although the Birch-Benkeser reduction (lithium metal in anhydrous ammonia, or, a more recent innovation that for performing a Birch on anything, since this way you need no dry ice to liquefy anhydrous ammonia, is to generate the ammonia using calcium oxide (quicklime, a powerful dessicant and fairly strong base) mixed with an ammonium salt such as sulfate or phosphate, adding just a ml or so of water to get it started giving off NH3, the trick is, that the quicklime doesn't release water during the rxn, and itself dries your ammonia, so you can even get away with it without a drying tube, and just leading through a pre-cooling condenser, then through into your flask, purged with argon, and filled with dry diethyl ether, the flask being sat in a bath of iice, salted with calcium chloride and table salt, and the delivery tube being situated right at the bottom, so as to bubble a constant stream of anhydrous ammonia through the ether, but as a gas, without having to liquefy it using dry ice condensors in a dry ice-acetone bath. That way you just have to continuously bubble the NH3 through the ether with a stirred suspension of fine lithium metal chips and curls, shavings etc so as to contact the lithium, in fine little bits as best as possible. It avoids ever having to handle the rather dangerous anhydrous ammonia in its condensed cryogenic liquid form, and is a lot sater. Although it takes a lot more ammonia gas to preform your solvated electron mixture, which at first, done in-situ this way turns greenish blue, but then does go deep dark midnight blackish-blue, indicating a solution of solvated electrons, Which then will reduce your substrate, added as a paste, or thick slurry, dampened with a little alcohol to serve as a proton source.
It does work for Birch reductions of compounds, although one has to calculate the total quantity of Li needed generally, rather than adding it to liquefied anhydrous NH3 and adding substrate to be reduced first, then slowly adding lithium chips until the blue of solvated electrons no longer disappears, upon which you know your substrate has been reduced since its no longer causing the loss of blue color to white.

Lately I've been waking up wearing Martha, our cat.

Yeah, you get checked through the night, am I right?
I have fuzzy pj pants that keeps me really warm and some long-sleeved tops to wear to bed in winter.
I'm a bit mixed up about when to have showers. I used to shower every afternoon after work, then I went to every morning when I stopped working, now a friend tells me that it's gross if you don't have a shower right before bed because then you're going to bed dirty and I say yes that's what I do just to placate her. Today I had a shower at about 1pm. I have to go out later but I'm not going to have another shower when I get home.

Have a shower before you go to work. Helps to shed off all that dead skin and sleep.
-
The reason I would shower after work (and at the moment I'm not working), was because the workplace smelt like compost (chicken shit) the majority of the time and I couldn't even go to the shops straight after work, I smelled that bad. A shower needed to be had.

When I got my first girlfriend, through some miracle, I figured it was more convenient to sleep naked. It saved a lot of stuffing around. Wake up, shag, sleep, repeat. Usually in that order anyway.
My wife made me start wearing something once the kids were past being babies. Just undies and T shirt. I run hot at night time so anything more than that is stifling.
