Strictly speaking, the cotton robe to wear while sleeping is called nemaki. It's kind of a lounging bathrobe that you can also wear around an onsen, but not out on the street.. Yukata is a light-weight kimono for summer wear especially at festivals.

WJ,
You are correct about nemaki. I was thinking of the yukata given at all the ryokan we have been. The nemaki provided at a lot of International chain hotels are more often now the westernized two piece version we have noticed.
Aloha!
