Step 1
Explore your many bedtime choices, including short and long gowns, fancy lingerie, boxers and a T-shirt, and pajamas (with either short or long legs and sleeves).
-
Step 2
Consider all the variables: Do you turn off the heat at night? Sleep under a heavy quilt? Open your window? Use the air conditioner? Dress accordingly if you prefer to be warm, very warm, cool or downright chilly.
-
Step 3
Keep in mind that flannel is warmer than cotton, and cotton will keep you cooler than silk or polyester.
-
Step 4
Remember that sleeping au naturel (in the buff) is actually warmer than wearing clothes. Until you get out of bed, that is.
-
Step 5
Stay even warmer with a sleeping cap or knit cap.
-
Step 6
Retain additional heat by keeping your feet warm and toasty with socks.
-
Step 7
Wear a robe over a gown or pajamas for extra warmth, or to hide nightclothes in case of guests or surprise visitors.

I love sleeping with socks on, although I tend to take them off while asleep!

on 8/4/2006 If you toss and turn, things can get twisted pretty quickly and you wake up in a knot. Satin sheets and satin nighties or pajamas together will help to minimize the twisting. So if you toss and turn constantly, you should keep this in mind when choosing sleepwear.
