As I was folding up my old, soft flannel pajamas for our trip later this week, I started wondering what other people wear to bed when away from home.

What do you sleep in when you travel?

Whatever the fashionistas in Paris and Rome are currently decreeing as appropriate nightwear, lest I feel like a tourist if I have to leave my hotel unexpectedly in the middle of the night.

Ronda

In that case don't forget your high heel slippers trimmed in fur! lol

I usually take a big nightshirt that can double as a swimsuit cover up if the need arises.

the same thing as at home -- so it varies, depending on time of year and weather.

The longest t-shirt I own. One year we did have the fire alarm go off at the hotel, and I just grabbed my raincoat - I wasn't wasting packing space for a bathrobe. Mind you I travel with female friends so French nighties would be a waste on many levels.

I have some really garish Nick & Nora PJ's I wear when I travel.

Silk pjs pack very nicely... though i wear them at home as well.

I wear a Karen Neuberger nightshirt. It is cool when it needs to be and warm when necessary. Definitely not revealing in case of a fire drill. Packs more compactly than my favorite PJ's.

Whatever has the least weight and volume while drying fast (after laundry that is, not after an accident )

Usually a large tshirt. If the room is chilly, then I'll put on my silk long underwear bottoms.

Same as at home, unless we're staying in someone's house - nekkid. Lightweight, easy to clean, and takes up no space in the carryone.

cafegoddess

White t-shirts from M&S. The softest t-shirt in the world.

suze

t-shirt with light cotton pants of some kind or t-shirt under a silk bathrobe.

i would never sleep naked in a strange hotel in case of emergency in the night.

I bring an oversized tee shirt (most of the way to the knees) so I have something to wear when breakfast is delivered. Beau bring PJ bottoms for the same reason.

Or if it's a special romantic sort of trip I'll bring a couple of pretty nighties.

Padraig

I knew that I shouldn't have clicked on this thread!

bozama

Although I love my flannels, they never travel with me, not even on a ski holiday,, too bulky.
Tshirt and capri lenth pj bottoms. Lightweight , and should be able to squish down to nothing.

whoknew

suze-but the real question is...are you OK with sleeping naked in familiar hotel rooms? Hee...


I have soft cotton pajamas that are very lightweight and pack well.

My ex used to generate a lot of body heat so I was always warm. Now I just ask for extra blankets.

lennyba

If there was an emergency in a strange (or familiar) hotel room in the middle of the night, I'd do the same thing I'd do if there were an emergency at home in the middle of the night - throw on the robe at the end of the bed. The question was "what do you sleep in"?

gomiki

Well worn flannel boxer shorts and a short V-neck T-shirt (just below waist length) from Victoria's Secret. No matter what time of year.

tzarinna

I have nice pj's and I have my roughin it pj's. I tend to carry my nice ones, 'cause I'm on holiday and they make me feel good.
