A few weeks ago I was too tired to put my pj's on before I went to bed and slept in my clothes.When I woke up I felt really rested,I had slept well for about 8 hours.

The next night I tossed and turned and had a miserable 3 to 4 hours of sleep.So I started thinking about how well I slept in my clothes,wondering if it was just a fluke.The next night I slept in my clothes again and slept very well again.

Since then I have been testing it out,some nights clothes,some nights pj's,and every time I sleep in my clothes I get 8 or more hours of sleep compared to just a few hours in pj's.

So from now on I think I will wear a pair of soft,cotton,stretchy jeans and a t-shirt instead of pj's,since it works.Maybe sleeping in pj's just makes me feel too vulnerable or something.I have been sleeping with weapons beside my bed since I was a very young girl,but I don't think they have been enough to make me feel safe.

I really sweat sleeping in full clothing but it's worth it to actually sleep.

What helps you feel safe at night?
