Sleeping is a time to relax and unwind, so it's important to be comfortable during the hours spent in bed. There are almost an infinite number of options for nightwear, but not all of them are comfortable or practical for all situations. It's really up to you, but there are a few things to consider before picking out nightwear. The most comfortable outfits are the ones that do not restrict you in any way.
Loose fitting clothing is ideal because it allows for movemeant during sleep. Clothing like flannel pants, cotton t-shirts, tank tops and even shorts are ideal nightwear for men and women alike because they are designed to be comfortable. The materials that they are made with are lightweight and versatile, and available in many different styles and colors. Comfortable nightwear also depends on the weather and climate.
For example, most people wear less clothing to bed during the warmer months, but as soon as it begins to cool down the pants and long sleeves come out. For this reason, heavier materials are used to create more "practical" pajamas that can be worn when it is cooler out. For many women, "sexy" lightweight and revealing nighties may look good, but they cannot and will not be adequate year round.
The least comfortable clothing types to sleep in are the items that do not allow you to get a solid night's rest, or are not comfortable in general. Sweatshirts, long sleeves, jeans and constricting undergarmeants are all items that many people often fall asleep wearing, but they are not always happy when they wake up. These types of clothing are ideal for other situations but not for sleeping. One exception is the popular "onesie". Made for adults and children alike, these garmeants come with attached feet and without, providing either total coverage, or the option to have your hands, feet, and head uncovered. Sleeping is supposed to be a restful time, but this can only be true if you're comfortable and happy while you're doing it.
Choosing the right clothing is only the first step in getting a good night's rest, but it is one of the most important. No matter whether you've chosen pants or shorts, cotton or nylon, a t-shirt or tank, just be sure to pick something that you want. Be comfortable in your outfit, be happy and most of all, be well rested after you wake up from a good night's sleep.
