I find I sleep best with just a top. I'm bottom heavy and carry fat in my thighs, so if I cover them, I find that I'm too cold to sleep in cold weather, even with a down comforter! Anyone else like this?

I usually sleep with no top on and just in my knickers. I suffer from heat problems and get really hot easily, especially at night. I often wake up in the middle of the night sweating buckets! I usually have to wet my face with a flannel to cool down. In the morning my blanket is on the floor where I'm so hot.

In the winter this is lovely but during the summer it can make me really sick.

Well define "need" LOL...but yes, I dislike wearing pants to bed unless it's REALLY cold because I feel like I'm always getting tangled in them. I will sometimes wear very short shorts.

I sleep with just underpants on every night, no matter how cold it is.

I used to wear nightgowns to bed until sometime in my 30's, and now I just sleep in my underwear and a tank top.

Slightly mixed variant. Making the cold weather pay for my night gear is leaving a small dent in my margin.

I'm starting to have to do that, but that's because I'm starting to go through "the change". Yay for menopause. 8O

I like to get down deep in a veritable burrow of blankets. I can sleep without blankets, but I'm not really comfortable until I have a lot of heavy ones. This is why I like it really cold.
If I don't sleep naked, I get tangled in clothing and too hot.
So, yeah, kind of.

I never sleep half naked. Nothing less than a T-shirt and a pants of some sorts (not necessarily PJs) for me.
And in cold weather, warmer night clothes and duvets, my feet packed into one (or even two when especially cold) extra sets of blankets because brrr.... in the past I sometimes used night socks
(when did I grow to be such a wimp about the cold?)

I avoid wearing pants, long-sleeved shirts, or socks while sleeping. I do, however, require a blanket or sheet to completely cover up with, even on the hottest nights.

I usually sleep in a tshirt and underwear, no matter the time of year. I constantly have to adjust things like the amount of blankets, turning the fan on or off, moving closer or farther from my partner, etc., in order to be able to sleep. I feel like I'm always swinging between sweating and freezing in the winter.

I'm never cold somehow. I don't understand people who can't warm up their feet in bed and need hot packs and stuff. :o I sleep with only a jade bangle on. :D I never wear things like hats or scarves either. They're suffocating. It's probably a metabolism thing.

I use a comforter in winter but just a blanket in summer. My winter pajamas are actual pajamas but in summer I just wear a T shirt and shorts. I’ve never worn “winter pajamas” except last winter because it was pretty brutal outside.

Might as well be - I always sleep naked, regardless of the weather.
