BETH C> Night sweats? Have your thyroid checke. This was how I found out I had a serious overactive thyroid. Night sweats were so bad I changed my nightgown in the middle of the night.
i love sleeping in the buff … so comfortable, nothing binding, constricting, wrapping around my legs, my torso … ugh. however, if i’m visiting in someone else’e house, i always take a pretty nightshirt. in the winter, if i’m chilled, i will don my men’s flannel jammy pants & either a particular sweatshirt or a long-sleeved t-shirt. but 98% of the time, it’s the buff!!
depends on if i am actually sleeping or rolling in the hay.
if sleeping, whatever is near the bed or tub when i am ready to hit it!
if rolling in the hay, well something pretty and feel good soft!
I’ve taken to pj’s. Cotton in the summer, flannel in the winter (Minnesota gets cold). I’m always worried there might be a fire alarm when I’m traveling, and I’ll show up in my red snowman pj’s in the lobby.
My Porthault nighties were made for me in Paris in 1998 and I still have them and in wonderful condition. All cotton lawn, very light and breathable. Or, I wear a man’s white cotton Tshirt from Crew, or Polo.
I’ve slept in the nude since my twenties but lately night sweats have made it impossible without soaking the duvet. So now its Lands End or Target cotton sleep shirts.
I sleep in gowns with no ruffles, no buttons and no lace. i sleep in different body creams that smell better than the one last night or the night before. Body cream (not lotion) is the answer to a peaceful, comfortable night after a warm, delicious bath. If I go to bed upset, I sleep after I use one move to hypnotize myself in about 5 seconds. I learned how to do that while I was in college, married with kids. My level of sleep is very, very deep. I am sure I got pregnant while i was sound asleep. Twice. Otherwise, isn’t that the kind of thing you remember?
A high end store sells gowns and matching pegnoirs. Together, they cost in the thousands of dollars….white, beaded and quite beautiful. I asked the sales person if any of them sold recently. “We can’t keep them in stock”. “There are women in this city whose husbands have more than one wife. They “compete” for their husband’s attention in the bedroom and these women go all out to make sure she is worthy when he picks her.”
Now I think that would take up too much of my limited time and resources.
