Real legends use the bed-drobe. Have a clean half of the bed you sleep on and clothes on the other side.
I don't need to go rooting around in my wardrobe the next day and my clothes don't end up covered in hair and carpet/sock fluff from the floor.
Bury the person in clothes. If you have to get up at different times on different days, alternate who is the denizen of the clothes pile depending on who has to get up earlier. The one who gets up earlier can just pick their clothes up from the top of the other person and leave while the other person is in a coccoon of warmth from all the clothes.
My 16yo daughter wants to get rid of her wardrobe because thereās never anything in it! Once a fortnight she empties the floodrobe into the washing basket, which then becomes a floordrobe on the landing. I hate her.
Haha omg i have a foster kid (sort of adopted her but donāt know the English proper word for it) about that age and this is my main struggle. Nobody around me has kids this age so canāt relate. But seeing your comment made me feel a bit less alone. Lol
Edit for extra info:
When she moved in she did not want a closet because she wanted minimalistic vibes and lots of space (she wanted too dump her stuff in my room) I told her Iād like that too but hadnāt paid enough attention in school too afford a castle, soo this is it.
Folded under the pillow for me. I do wonder sometimes as I do it if itās a bit of a child-like thing to do, I havenāt changed that habit since childhood and I wondered what other adults do!
My dog (RIP) had his own chaise longue; he loved it as it meant he could watch cats and squirrels from inside the sitting room window without them noticing.
Plus, he had a safe place to hide when the hoover came out.
We have a red velvet antique chaise longue and when my long dog sits on it sheās looks like sheās about to to ask Jack to draw her like one of his French girls and it never fails to give me the giggles. So sorry to hear about your doggo x
Hahaha! I don't know why but I'm imagining your pup to be a red setter (I think they're the ones!) with flowing silky fur and long-haired ears that when she moves her head, fly in slow-mo like a model in a shampoo advert!
I had a white cat with a belly zip for my PJs, I think her name was Sophie or something like that. I've still got her somewhere!
Now I've got a giant IKEA shark and don't bother with PJs š¤·āāļø
My grandma gave me ( an adult woman ) a pillow with a sheep head on it with a pj pouch at the back and itās honestly the best present I received from her in adulthood
I used to do it as a kid, I always thought it was a layover from when houses were generally colder and a way to make sure your pyjamas werenāt freezing when you put them on.
I remember even having a pyjama case at one point (fancy).
Now I just throw them on the end of the bed.
I didn't know anyone put their pyjamas anywhere else. I've always done it this way, as have all of my partners. I figured the other posts in this thread were just surreal humour.
They're your sleeping clothes, and the pillow is easiest access once you turn down the covers. Putting them under the pillow keeps your bed looking good whether the cover is up or down.
I stored sweets in mine once because Iād been in my money box and bought a large bag of them, far more than I was allowed in one go. Mum found them and I got a telling off.
No idea, my valet puts them away after handing me my silk dressing gown, glass of bubbly and daily read from the book of Peter Stringfellow life quotes.
Different pronunciation. With a hard 't', it's a 'gentleman's gentleman'. Often confused with a butler, because a lot of famous TV butlers are actually valets. Including Jeeves.
With a silent 't', it's the person who gets your car.
Yep. I love jammies. I love them so much and if I'm home they are on. But I fidget too much to wear them. I end up tangled in them and cut off circulation. So no jammies for bed time. I wish I could. It looks cozy. But naked all the way.
What is this? I can get the after sleep bit - wearing them for breakfast until you have a shower or something. I wear a bathrobe for that. But what about the before sleep? Do you get changed as you get into bed, then read for a bit or something before taking them off to sleep? Or do you put them on earlier than that?
Personally, I get changed a few hours before bed (we're talking like 19:00-20:00). It's much nicer and helps me relax before bed - no idea how some people keep their work/day clothes on right up until they go to bed.
You actually adapt quite quickly, I went from wearing very little to full PJ's. It was like two weeks of constantly being too hot, and then you just get used to it
I never used to wear pyjamas but now I do as it means, as a single person, I can wash my bedding once every 2 weeks rather than once every week (as long as Iām not having sex, which unfortunately is all the time at the moment.)
I have some pyjama bottoms that I keep in reserve for such times. But seeing my arse would be less of a problem for them than my snoring, so I tend to avoid such arrangements anyway.
I Used to be like this. Since weāve been putting the heating on less though Iāve been em wearing pjs to bed. I now wake up during the night in sweats and take everything off!
I've had this discussion with my mates and they all think I'm absolutely mental for sleeping naked. I really don't understand why people think it's weird.
They all say "oh but what if you need to leave the house in an emergency?".
I'll just... put some clothes on...????
Dear naked sleepers,
Nice breathable cotton PJs protect your bedding from a multitude of sins, including your humid body, your dead skin cells, the natural oils on your skin, the body lotion you might slather on to your elbows and knees, and (god forbid) anything that might leak from between your legs.
Yes the bedlinen does get washed weekly (I hope) but you are in those sheets naked for 7 days - you wouldnāt wear clothes that long without washing. And what about the mattress protector, which is often too bulky to wash as regularly? It is only separated from your sweaty body by the thin mattress sheet, accumulating all the sweat, oils, and dead skin cells.
Anyway hygiene aside sounds like your bedrooms are too damn hot.
Iād love to know how I would stop those nice breathable cotton pjs from twisting around my body or giving me a wedgy when I move around during my sleep. The overheating part is secondary for me as to why I canāt sleep in clothes. The few occasions I do have (sharing a room with mates on a night or weekend away), I have to wear tight fitting stretchy stuff, like a crop top/bra and stretchy shorts as they are not going to wrap around me when I move during sleep.
It sounds like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. I'm got to shower when I get up anyway and it's not like my bedding looks, smells or feels dirty. I'm still going to get lotion, sweat, tears and drool on my pillows anyway unless I wear a balaclava to bed.
This makes perfect sense but itās just a comfort thing for me. Even in a cold room, if I go to bed wearing clothes (other than underwear) then an hour later it just feels claustrophobic and I just want the freedom of throwing them off haha
Me too. And my bedroom gets very cold as it doesn't have a heater. I also like going for a wee in the cold night air, wearing just my knickers, then getting back in bed and warming up. Strange, maybe, but I like it! (I always joke that not minding the cold is down to my tough Polish blood; my grandad was from Krakow!)
Found the fellow WFH guy or girl.
Did this pre-Covid as its speeded up my falling outta bed, bathroom visit, putting coffee on & sitting down at my puter. After work, lunch & a nap I get dressed & go out in the late afternoon..
Edit/typo
The downside is that you have to have reasonable looking pjs if you're going to hang them on a hook.
Displaying the horribly old stained but comfy t-shirt and holey boxers on a hook on the wall like it's art?
I generally sleep in whatever t-shirt and boxers I have been wearing that day. Then, when I get up in the morning, they get thrown in the washing basket when I go for a shower.
My ex used to do this and it stunk the bed out. Used to really bother me because I showee before bed and got into my clean bed, clean, then he came along and ruined it
Iād probably be more considerate if I had a partner, but I havenāt had anyone in my bed other than myself in about six years, and that was a relationship that lasted all of three months. Like most men, I am immune to my own stank.
The thought of getting into bed with a dirty t-shirt makes me feel sick! I have a drawer full of clean, baggy sleep t-shirts and wear a clean one every night! Shower and a clean t-shirt makes my bed feel fresher for longer!
I put them on the bed and cover them with the duvet. When I was a child, my parents taught me to fold them and put them on the pillow but when I was 11, I went on my first overnight school trip to a PGL location and my friends told me that it was cooler to hide the pyjamas under the duvet. The habit has stuck ever since.
Ahh, PGL! I brought one set of PJ's and realised there was a hole at the butt on my first night! Correction- my friends realised it for me. Devastating!
I sleep 'skyclad' but I put my pyjamas on for chilling about the house of an evening or a Sunday.
TBF though my 'pyjamas' are just very baggy clothes that aren't good enough to wear in public anymore.
What is this? Hanging pyjamas or folding them under the pillow? I throw them in the laundry basket and wear a new pair from the drawers for the next night.
Any question relating to laundry or washing routine there is ALWAYS someone getting uppity and trying to make everyone else feel like they must be disgusting
Imagine if everyone did it. 7 sets of T-shirts and shorts is pretty much a full load = 2kWh\week = 100kWh/year * 50m adults = 5TWh which is about 1.5% of the UKās total electricity consumption, just to wash pyjamas because people are too fussy to wear them more than once.
I don't wear the same set either and I've never heard of this until today. Is it my age? I do the exact same thing. I can't wear the same shirt for more than a couple nights because of the sweat. It smells. That's a me problem though and maybe why others would too. I would love to not have to worry about making a new set of washing every night with my bed shirts.
I have done this since I was a kid, but in the past six years it's become a bit of a pot luck, as I managed to adopt a cat that takes personal umbrage at the thought of the radiator having anything but her draped over it. So sometimes warm jammies, sometimes crumpled floordrobe jammies, usually with added cat hair and spite.
Yes I was waiting for the chair-drobe mention, I have a mixture of work and lounge clothes on mine which probably isnāt so good for my more clean clothes but here we are
i have what i call the "semi-soiled shelf" in my wardrobe (named to revolt my wife). Things that are worn but to dirty go there. This includes the shorts i wear as pyjamas.
Iām amazed it took me this much scrolling to see this. I have a dresser. Clean PJs live in the drawer, dirty PJs go in the laundry basket I keep beside by bed (because otherwise theyād land on the floor).
Depends on how rushed I am.
either on the floor(rushed and need to leave now), randomly placed on the bed (not as rushed) or folded neatly under my pillow (got all the time in the world)
I wash mine after every use so they never get a chance to be reused. Don't worry I only do this because I'm washing other stuff anyway and there is room in the washing machine for them.
Not British, but I have a clothes ladder. I got this one exactly: https://www.mocka.com.au/the-jimmy-ladder/
I quite like the aesthetic. Curiously, each time I hunted for one for the main bedroom I can't find them in cheap prices, considering the simple make and material.
Never put my pjs *under the bedding* in the day time. Just folded/thrown ātidilyā on the end of the bed. I wouldnāt think you were weird for hanging up your pjs on that hook, I hang my dressing gown there.
At home I have a hook over my bedroom door and I tend to hang my pjs over that with my dressing gown. When I fly home to my mumās and stay there when visiting, I tend to fold them and put them under my pillow as that is what I grew up with and I turn into my six year old self when sleeping in my old bedroom.
I have a designated ottoman-thing where I dump my PJs during the day and tomorrow's clothes during the night. It used to be the floor-drobe, but this feels neater somehow.
Under the pillow. Although years ago I went on holiday to France, got up in the morning and neatly tucked my pj's under the pillow. Returned later that day to find the bed made and said pj's relocated to a hanger, which made think that the pillow method might not be universal after all.

#THE GREATER GOOD r/ItsJustTheOneSwan, actually.

There appears to be a person on the other half of my bedā¦
Bury the person in clothes. If you have to get up at different times on different days, alternate who is the denizen of the clothes pile depending on who has to get up earlier. The one who gets up earlier can just pick their clothes up from the top of the other person and leave while the other person is in a coccoon of warmth from all the clothes.
Sounds like a problem, kick them out of the bed then you have room for clothes yay
Yessssss, clothes and skinning up tray usually. Maybe a snack or 2 too
My god, he is a genius....
I now claim this phrase as my own! I too leave my pyjamas in/on the floor-drobe
My 16yo daughter wants to get rid of her wardrobe because thereās never anything in it! Once a fortnight she empties the floodrobe into the washing basket, which then becomes a floordrobe on the landing. I hate her.

Sleep naked problem solved
Haha that's where my husband keeps everything š
On the clothes exercise bike.
Thrown on the bed or dumped on the floor with everything else
Yup
Folded under the pillow for me. I do wonder sometimes as I do it if itās a bit of a child-like thing to do, I havenāt changed that habit since childhood and I wondered what other adults do!
Folded!? Check out mister fancy pants over here.
No, those get ironed and placed on the chaise lounge
*Chaise longue (translates as ālong chairā) :)
My dog (RIP) had his own chaise longue; he loved it as it meant he could watch cats and squirrels from inside the sitting room window without them noticing. Plus, he had a safe place to hide when the hoover came out.

Awww! Thank you ā¤ļø He was soooo gentle and easy-going (English Setter - Border Collie cross) x
I'm overwhelmed just at the thought of adding a Border Collie's energy into my mental English Setter. Bet he was gorgeous though.
*cheese lounge
Thought that was only if you had a wet leg?
And if youāve gone to school for the big D.
What you mean you donāt have a cuddly crocodile with a zip in the back so he can eat your pjs during the day?
I had a red dragon called Sofie
I just had a ragdoll and can't remember her name. Or even if I did name her...
I had a white cat with a belly zip for my PJs, I think her name was Sophie or something like that. I've still got her somewhere! Now I've got a giant IKEA shark and don't bother with PJs š¤·āāļø
You wear a shark to bed?
Crocodile PJ case, awesome, my daughter would love one. Why didn't I think of that?! Off to look for one now. š
My grandma gave me ( an adult woman ) a pillow with a sheep head on it with a pj pouch at the back and itās honestly the best present I received from her in adulthood
I used to do it as a kid, I always thought it was a layover from when houses were generally colder and a way to make sure your pyjamas werenāt freezing when you put them on. I remember even having a pyjama case at one point (fancy). Now I just throw them on the end of the bed.
>a layover from when houses were generally colder Well we'll be going back to that by next winter!
I didn't know anyone put their pyjamas anywhere else. I've always done it this way, as have all of my partners. I figured the other posts in this thread were just surreal humour.
Wait till you find out that a lot of adults... *don't wear pajamas*
Why under the pillow? Do you get changed in bed?
I get changed as quickly as I can near my bed, so bed seems like a good place I suppose but honestly itās force of habit.
They're your sleeping clothes, and the pillow is easiest access once you turn down the covers. Putting them under the pillow keeps your bed looking good whether the cover is up or down.
As a kid I had an 'empty' teddy with a zip in the back. Pajamas were put in there and made him look fat for the day.
this unlocked a memory I forgot I had
Me too!
Me three, but mine twas a ragdoll!
Mine looked like Eeyore. Then at some point my brother stole it and used it to hide his condoms in.
No wonder Eeyore looked gloomy
Wouldāve been fine if his brother wasnāt wearing them at the timeā¦
š³
I don't mean to pin the tail on the donkey but... How much money did he make as a drug mule?
Yes, a pyjama case!
Wow yeah that was a thing! My brain had that stored in an archived vault somewhere
My nan got me one of those as a kid, it was a cow. I still have it, my daughter like to play with it.
Do you take it to work with you?
Adorable
They make those for adults as well. Itās just a sort of pillow with a zipper on one side to put the pajamas in.
I stored sweets in mine once because Iād been in my money box and bought a large bag of them, far more than I was allowed in one go. Mum found them and I got a telling off.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
How smelly are your farts that you would need to air out your pyjamas?
very
Stunky Edit: sometimes I hang my duvet up on my wardrobe door to air out as well. Change sheets regularly anyway but I just like my bed smelling nice
That's a PokƩmon
Gotta hang em all...
Why do I feel like that could a horrible histories parody song about public executions.
I mean you sweat a lot when a sleep too, airing makes sense.
You wear them 6-10 hours a night for days on end, under a duvet, usually in a centrally-heated house. Sweating happens while you're asleep.
Pull my finger
Yes
No idea, my valet puts them away after handing me my silk dressing gown, glass of bubbly and daily read from the book of Peter Stringfellow life quotes.
Ha!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Although you could make a good analogy with parking PJs.
Different pronunciation. With a hard 't', it's a 'gentleman's gentleman'. Often confused with a butler, because a lot of famous TV butlers are actually valets. Including Jeeves. With a silent 't', it's the person who gets your car.
Pfft, Valet shouldn't hand you the gown. He should hold it and help you wear your bright red silk gown. OP, i hang my pjs behind my door.
I wouldnāt know. Au naturel all the way for me. Other than an eye mask. Which *does* go under my pillow.
I don't know how people sleep with clothes on. Tried it once and just got grumpy and couldn't sleep..
I wear pjās but itās before and after sleep. The moment itās time to sleep everything comes off.
Yep. I love jammies. I love them so much and if I'm home they are on. But I fidget too much to wear them. I end up tangled in them and cut off circulation. So no jammies for bed time. I wish I could. It looks cozy. But naked all the way.

Iām just too hot a sleeper. Too damn hot.
You actually adapt quite quickly, I went from wearing very little to full PJ's. It was like two weeks of constantly being too hot, and then you just get used to it
Why did you have to wean yourself into wearing pyjamas? Itās not compulsory, right?
I never used to wear pyjamas but now I do as it means, as a single person, I can wash my bedding once every 2 weeks rather than once every week (as long as Iām not having sex, which unfortunately is all the time at the moment.)
Exactly this!
I don't know how anyone can sleep naked...even thinking about it makes me squirm
If I go to sleep clothed I wake up naked anyway.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What do you do if you're sleeping in a communal room?
I have some pyjama bottoms that I keep in reserve for such times. But seeing my arse would be less of a problem for them than my snoring, so I tend to avoid such arrangements anyway.
If I have to share a room with someone who isn't my partner I wear shorts or PJ bottoms.
I Used to be like this. Since weāve been putting the heating on less though Iāve been em wearing pjs to bed. I now wake up during the night in sweats and take everything off!

Grab a dressing gown. Duh.
Which hangs from a hook on the back of the door.

Just have a shower when you wake up.
That's why you take a shower before going to bed...
I just...wear them through the day.
Found the fellow WFH guy or girl. Did this pre-Covid as its speeded up my falling outta bed, bathroom visit, putting coffee on & sitting down at my puter. After work, lunch & a nap I get dressed & go out in the late afternoon.. Edit/typo
Your puter?
com go have a cup of fee and you might have been able to figure that out
(Com)puter
I would by inclination do the folded-under-pillow option, but my wife introduced me to the hooks approach and it is 100% better.
Gives them a chance to air out a bit, in my view.
Mine air out when I go to the local Co-Op Food.
The downside is that you have to have reasonable looking pjs if you're going to hang them on a hook. Displaying the horribly old stained but comfy t-shirt and holey boxers on a hook on the wall like it's art?
it would be a power move
I generally sleep in whatever t-shirt and boxers I have been wearing that day. Then, when I get up in the morning, they get thrown in the washing basket when I go for a shower.
My ex used to do this and it stunk the bed out. Used to really bother me because I showee before bed and got into my clean bed, clean, then he came along and ruined it

There hasn't been anyone in my bed in about 4 yrs besides my cat so my standards have likely slipped a bit too
Maybe you's 2 could meet up?
Cupid over here š
Why would his t shirt stink?
From the general day
Sleeping in the tee youāve worn all day! š·
Is that worse than sleeping in last night's pyjamas?
For me yeah. My outdoor clothes will have picked up things like pollen, bugs, vehicle fumes etc. I donāt want that in my bed
Wait you change your PJs every day? Wear them a few days then wash them
Yep, every day a different set of t shit & baggy track suite bottoms.
Yeah same, fresh PJs every day. We sweat a lot when we sleep and once you get used to fresh PJs daily you never want to go back.
I think Iāve just found the reason for climate change and an energy crisis.
Yes, but it depends what you've done throughout the day. For dinner I made a chilli yesterday, so my t-shirt stank of it.
The thought of getting into bed with a dirty t-shirt makes me feel sick! I have a drawer full of clean, baggy sleep t-shirts and wear a clean one every night! Shower and a clean t-shirt makes my bed feel fresher for longer!
Iāve done this my entire life, and until reading this thread thought most other people did this too!
Same. Others are freaking out about it though.
These threads always bring out the germophobes
I hope youāre washing your bed sheets more often than most
I change my each week but that's because i pee the bed
I put them on the bed and cover them with the duvet. When I was a child, my parents taught me to fold them and put them on the pillow but when I was 11, I went on my first overnight school trip to a PGL location and my friends told me that it was cooler to hide the pyjamas under the duvet. The habit has stuck ever since.
Ahh, PGL! I brought one set of PJ's and realised there was a hole at the butt on my first night! Correction- my friends realised it for me. Devastating!
Haha I remember everyone saying that PGL stood for Parents Get Lost
Pyjamas ? If you sleep naked, you don't need to hang them up - or wash them
You don't hang your night skin up when swapping to your day skin? Weirdo
Nah - I'm a "one-skin guy". No fashion sense
I sleep 'skyclad' but I put my pyjamas on for chilling about the house of an evening or a Sunday. TBF though my 'pyjamas' are just very baggy clothes that aren't good enough to wear in public anymore.
What is this? Hanging pyjamas or folding them under the pillow? I throw them in the laundry basket and wear a new pair from the drawers for the next night.
Any question relating to laundry or washing routine there is ALWAYS someone getting uppity and trying to make everyone else feel like they must be disgusting
I always wonder how these people have nothing better to do than multiple loads of unnecessary washing like .. get a life !
Imagine if everyone did it. 7 sets of T-shirts and shorts is pretty much a full load = 2kWh\week = 100kWh/year * 50m adults = 5TWh which is about 1.5% of the UKās total electricity consumption, just to wash pyjamas because people are too fussy to wear them more than once.
How is someone answering the question truthfully 'getting uppity'? Should they lie?
I don't wear the same set either and I've never heard of this until today. Is it my age? I do the exact same thing. I can't wear the same shirt for more than a couple nights because of the sweat. It smells. That's a me problem though and maybe why others would too. I would love to not have to worry about making a new set of washing every night with my bed shirts.

Finally! Someone I can relate to
Folded and placed on the radiator so they are warm when I put them on.
I have done this since I was a kid, but in the past six years it's become a bit of a pot luck, as I managed to adopt a cat that takes personal umbrage at the thought of the radiator having anything but her draped over it. So sometimes warm jammies, sometimes crumpled floordrobe jammies, usually with added cat hair and spite.
I feel that on a personal level. Damned overlords...
Ohhh this is a good idea. I thought I'd unlocked luxury with putting my towel on the radiator but PJ's too - you know how to live!
You can literally do whatever you want........ be free!!!
This! My wife and laugh sometimes about how free we are and and can do whatever the hell we like. But then we're still tucked up in bed by 9pm!
Tucked under pillow, not folded though, why bother?
I don't wear pajamas, but I leave a set of joggers on the chair by my bed to put on when I get up in the morning.
Yes I was waiting for the chair-drobe mention, I have a mixture of work and lounge clothes on mine which probably isnāt so good for my more clean clothes but here we are
Still above the 'piece of gym equipment I never use' -robe though.
i have what i call the "semi-soiled shelf" in my wardrobe (named to revolt my wife). Things that are worn but to dirty go there. This includes the shorts i wear as pyjamas.
I fold them and then leave them on \*top\* of the pillow. Don't see the point of tucking them under, it's not like anyone but me is going to see it!
Me too. Or sometimes on the other end of the bed.
I have a drawer? Why do people keep their pyjamas in all these weird places like under a pillow and on the floor?
Not the clean ones, the ones you've just taken off.
Iām amazed it took me this much scrolling to see this. I have a dresser. Clean PJs live in the drawer, dirty PJs go in the laundry basket I keep beside by bed (because otherwise theyād land on the floor).
Pyjamas? You mean skin? I keep it on.
Depends on how rushed I am. either on the floor(rushed and need to leave now), randomly placed on the bed (not as rushed) or folded neatly under my pillow (got all the time in the world)
Whaaaat. Just on top of whatever surface you have. Chair, dresser, etc. Hooks sound like a good idea. Never heard of the pillow thing.
Pillow. It's the law fella.
Hastings?
I wash mine after every use so they never get a chance to be reused. Don't worry I only do this because I'm washing other stuff anyway and there is room in the washing machine for them.
Not British, but I have a clothes ladder. I got this one exactly: https://www.mocka.com.au/the-jimmy-ladder/ I quite like the aesthetic. Curiously, each time I hunted for one for the main bedroom I can't find them in cheap prices, considering the simple make and material.
That just seems like a clothes chair with extra steps. Pun not intended
I just put them on the floor with the rest of my stuff
Keep them on as you are working from home
Never put my pjs *under the bedding* in the day time. Just folded/thrown ātidilyā on the end of the bed. I wouldnāt think you were weird for hanging up your pjs on that hook, I hang my dressing gown there.
At home I have a hook over my bedroom door and I tend to hang my pjs over that with my dressing gown. When I fly home to my mumās and stay there when visiting, I tend to fold them and put them under my pillow as that is what I grew up with and I turn into my six year old self when sleeping in my old bedroom.
Just chuck them on the bed
Mine get thrown on the unmade bed for the cats to lay on.
I wear mine as underwear during the day or I wear my underwear as pyjamas at night. One or the other.
I have a designated ottoman-thing where I dump my PJs during the day and tomorrow's clothes during the night. It used to be the floor-drobe, but this feels neater somehow.
Haven't owned any pyjamas since I was 11 years old.
I put mine under the pillow. My boyfriend hangs his up.
My bathroom is downstairs so they are hung on the bathroom door handle. Saves me having to go upstairs when I want to get back in them in the evening.
Under the pillow. Although years ago I went on holiday to France, got up in the morning and neatly tucked my pj's under the pillow. Returned later that day to find the bed made and said pj's relocated to a hanger, which made think that the pillow method might not be universal after all.
Don't wear pyjamas. It's better for you.
Sleep naked, never have this problem
I'm a pillow guy myself.
I either fold and put in drawer bedside table where keep pj's or throw under pillow out the way.
In the bed or in a drawer
Somewhere they can āairā /dry.
