Well, there is the story of Mary of Egypt, who when Zosimus recognized her, called, “Do not come closer for I am a woman, and naked.” She’d lived in the desert all alone for decades, after all…one presumes that if she was walking around naked in the desert, she slept naked. Can’t have been comfy, though, what with all the sand!

Dixie, I understand. But I think if you have full disclosure on my full character you will be better able to discern that I’m probably just a slob to be ignored. I also never clean the sink after I brush my teeth, when in college my bathtub only got cleaned when my roommate’s sister came to visit, eat brats that fall off the plate before I get inside.

I think you’re my husband!!!:eek:

Seriously, your post cracked me up. This is about the funniest thread I’ve seen.

Hey, we’re both women, it’s not that gross.

I discussed it with her (while I was living at home) because she did it, and kept her bedroom door open. It drove me crazy when I walked by her bedroom (or, ugh, the living room) and she was there laying there in not even a modest position. retch

Deo Gratias, she doesn’t do this anymore, but probably only because my brother lives with her now. Oh well, covered is covered.

And you say she’s Baptist??? Must not be the Southern Baptist variety we have down here!!!

Ahhhh! You just admitted that you are one who married a guy with the idea that you could change him and have finally come to the conclusion that once a slob, always a slob.

Never heard this before but will never forget it.

:hmmm: 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? :confused:

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. :eek:

She now sleeps fully clothed and ready for such emergencies, a little extreme, but I can’t say I blame her. 👍

Not long ago, I received an email about the #1 reason not to sleep in the nude, and it showed a man backing down a firetruck ladder in the buff, mooning everyone while his apartment building burned in the background.

I sent this email to my father-in-law, since I hear he sleeps in the buff.

The reply I got back was, “well if that happens, it’s everyone else’s problem, not mine.” 😛
 
What about wearing a mantilla to bed? At least the lady’s head is covered.

Which of the saints does anyone suppose might have slept naked? If it feels good to sleep naked, does wearing comfortable pajamas not feel good? Suppose someone was a hermit and lived in the wilderness far from any other people, where no one ever visited. The person’s life was doing a few chores to stay fed and a life of prayer. Would that person walk around nude all day? Would that person go to prayer in the buff? I like being alone in a dark room that is totally silent. I sense God is there, or my awareness is increased. Maybe that is my imagination. I like to pray in that situation. Sometimes it is in bed under covers. I wear pajamas, because they make me spiritually comfortable. I can pray in the shower, but that is different. I pray better dressed and imagine most people do also, although I have never taken a poll. The saints slept on boards, not perfumed, powdered, naked in silk sheets. If you want to be like them, or numbered among them, imitate them in as many ways as possible.

The answer would be a heck of a lot of em up until about a few hundred years ago - silk sheets or no.

Poor people in the middle ages (and many even later still) could barely afford one decent set of clothing for daytime, let alone an extra set for nightwear. Goes for the sainted poor as well.

And underwear as we know it wasn’t often worn by the majority of people, especially in hot weather, either.

And that could happen a person were wearing boxers, or a silk nightgown, etc.

Those who assert that nakedness is in and of itself immodest and invariably wrong have a very large argument against them in the baptism practice of the first 3 centuries. How did the Church initiate new members? - IN THE BUFF! That means either a) centuries of Church sacramental practice was tainted by the intrisically evil practice of (semi-public!) nudity or b) there are circumstances in which nudity can be acceptable.

As others have advised, the only question is whether this is going to be an occasion of sin. If not, enjoy!

Numerically, twelve dozen, or 144 is a “gross.” Not gross like yuck, gross like, well, like 12 x 12 = 144.

**Thank goodness for nerds!!

Hey, I think flannel nightgowns are considered lingerie in Canada.**

Unless you’ve got Brunswick sheets and then you throw away the flannel and ignore any suggestion that there is anything wrong with sleeping in the buff.😃

Or you could use both, which would cause a camaflouge effect, like those puzzles that you have to stare at for a while to find out what it really is.
