I know many people who agree with you, but I don’t mind. He doesn’t make unreasonable demands. We can’t get married yet, but we consider ourselves engaged. If he feels strongly that sleeping nude goes against modesty, and I think it’s more comfortable on occasion, I have no problem with changing my sleeping habits for him. In the same way, he consults me on decisions about his future (soon to be our future, although not yet) and neither of us puts ourselves in compromising positions with the opposite sex.
I also have a male friend who told me that when I wear my hair a certain way it tempts him to lust, and asked me not to wear my hair like that when he’s around. Sure, he has no right to tell me what to do, but a reasonable request can surely be honoured?
I agree with Latin Mass Lover - I love this man because he has high standards and morals. If that means I need to change the way I live, so be it. One of my good friends told me that when you find the one you want to marry, you’ll know because suddenly you’ll want to change all those bad habits you swore you’d never give up. Not that sleeping nude is such a bad habit, but it’s all a matter of perspective.
If I had spare sheets, I’d do that, but sheets are hard to find here. I don’t think the windows are an issue - mine is the tallest building around, and I’m on the second-to-top floor, but I suppose it’s possible someone could catch a very brief glimse if they were looking up at exactly the right moment.

LOL -
And here I was wondering about wearing abbreviated nightclothes on hot summer nights - even though alone.
I can’t speak authoritatively on no clothes - but I went to a school where nuns even taught us how to modestly change from gym clothes back to our uniforms (don’t ask) - perhaps out of modesty or perhaps because workmen might pass through?But here’s a thought. God forbid - there’s a fire or emergency - and you must suddenly run out…??? Are you going to run to a closet for a robe or just run for your life? Consider the embarassment of the alternatives.
(I don’t think you can compare disrobing for showering to sleeping.) Thanks for the entertaining topic !

Unless I am mistaken, Adam and Eve were naked initally.We are born naked. So why would God be offended if someone were to sleep naked? After all, if someone wasn’t naked at one time or another, most of us wouldn’t be here.

EGHADS! The point of sleeping nude is that IT IS COMFORTABLE AND WARM. GOD MADE US NAKED, he doesn’t care if we sleep naked as long as we don’t make it an occasion of sin. Lighten up a bit.
No, sleeping nude is not a sin, not immoral, not in any way wrong as long as you have a private room and your curtains are closed. When I was 16 I started sleeping in the buff and continue that practice until today. The only time I do NOT is when I have VICKS on my chest or sleep at someone elses house.

Same here. And I stopped buying pjs for my kids when they were in their teens and I realized that there were never any pjs in the laundry hamper – nor on their floors so they obviously not wearing any.

Here’s my opinion. As has been mentioned, God made us naked. You’re alone and it’s no one’s business. It’s also very comfortable, particularly in the warm weather.
I’d also keep a robe at hand just in case there was an emergency and you had no time to dress.

Sure, God made us naked, but approaching the question from that angle alone does serious disservice to the fact of the Fall. As my earlier posts show, I hold that the only thing wrong with sleeping in the buff would be occasion to sin, so please take my criticism on this point as a constructive one meant to further more fruitful argumentation on the subject.

If you’re sleeping naked alone and are “caused to sin”, you have issues. If you are sleeping with someone naked, it better be your spouse. In which case, naked is good.

Well sure, we all have “issues” of some sort or another. Some “issues” are just facilitated by sleeping in the nude. Just because you don’t have a problem with it doesn’t make it a problem with some. Some might have a problem with gluttony and sleeping with a fridge in the room might facilitate that!

Well, I’m assuming it wouldn’t be funny for the person who has a problem with that sort of thing. Pick the sin you have most trouble with and look at what might be an occasion of sin for you. It might be different but it’s very real to you even though it might not apply to me at all.
That said, I have don’t believe that it’s instantly a sin for anyone. The act is not sinful in itself but can lead certain people into sin.

You are a woman, right? And you are talking about your hair, right?

LOL, that is what I was thinking; what if there was a fire!I can’t pretend to be a moral authority on sleepwear, but I can’t imagine there is even a moral side to this at all. You are single, you live alone, there is no reason to say you would be immoral to sleep naked. It’s not like you are in a position to be a cause of temptation to someone else in the house.
Has someone told you otherwise?
My only caution is this: I had a friend who was more comfortable sleeping naked until there was a fire in her apartment building and she had to exit her bedroom window, down a firetruck ladder, with only a sheet wrapped around her.
She now sleeps fully clothed and ready for such emergencies, a little extreme, but I can’t say I blame her.

My opinion is that it’s not wrong…
that said, I, personally, can’t do it. I always wonder: What if there’s an emergency in the middle of the night? What if there’s a fire? I dress for sleep in clothing that would keep me warm if I had to dart out the door in the middle of the night. Worry wart? NO, I’m practical. P.R.A.C.T.I.C.A.L. Not a worrier.

If it’s an unbearably hot night and your electric fan/air conditioner isn’t working, you might be more comfortable sleeping naked.
If one “should be properly clothed at all times”, how do you take a bath or a shower? If you keep your clothes on it kind of defeats the purpose, in that case, since you’re trying to get clean.
