    Wife and I have been full naked sleepers the entire time we’ve known each other; sleeping with clothes on seems so strange

      Every time I’ve tried sleeping in the nude in the past 15 years, I had explosive diarrhea across the bed. Fortunately, I’ve never shat on my wife, but she’s told me that if I ever try to sleep naked with her, that she’s moving to the couch.

        . . . How many times are we talking here? Like a weird two nickels, or enough that it’s a really creepy coincidence?

          Only twice. Separated by nearly a decade. I was gun-shy after the first incident, and decided it wasn’t worth the effort after the second.

        Perhaps we could consider investigating the train of circumstances that have led you to sleep naked in the past, as I feel it may shed some light into the volatile rectum situations.

      Do you not have a winter? Where i am it was extremely cold for the past month and the house barely got over 60 degrees F or 15.5 C. Even with covers its also nice to sleep in a comfortable outfit to stay warm.

        Fuzzy sheets, a couple thick blankets, and a huge dog means it’s never too cold while sleeping. But also we’re in California so we have pretty mild winters overall too

        A sheet, a light blanket, a knitted afghan, and a heavy blanket, and that will hold in all the heat you need. The pockets in the knitted afghan trap your body heat really well, and the blankets hold it there. Works amazingly well.

        It works so well, that sometimes I have to stick a foot out from under the covers to radiate excess body heat.

          Why are feet the human radiator?

          One would expect that an extremity that is so far away from the core areas, with its limited blood flow and lack of any particularly relevant component, would be supremely inefficient at radiating heat.

          That is until you wake up feeling like an ice cube and grumpy enough to shoot the first thing that looks at you funny because one foot was uncovered.

            My circulation is terrible. I’ll have cold feet and hands while my core is too hot. Sometimes I will move the blanket so it’s over my feet and arms but my body is just under sheets. I need a blanket that is like a reverse vest.

            It really works! Try it! When it’s too hot under the covers, but too cold to uncover, just stick a foot out from under the covers, and you’ll be a lot more comfortable.

            I just wrote about it in a thread asking for life lessons, and I offered this, and it sparked a huge discussion, with a lot of up votes.

            For the record, those against the idea weren’t so much worried about a cold foot, they were far more concerned about attacks by monsters, and the occasional cat.

      I get grumpy when I don’t sleep at home and I need to sleep with boxer briefs. It fucking sucks. Let me be an animal for the time I sleep at the very least please.
