If you have a silk or bamboo pillowcase sleeping on that really does help keep the hair neat. Gosh, when I was a little girl my mom and sisters slept with their hairdo's wrapped in some kind of pink sort-of silky-felty stuff, they'd wrap it around their hair. There are times when I sure wish I had that. No idea what it was, though, and it's probably not manufactured anymore. Probably made with asbestos or God knows what.

Aw, the black sheep is secretly everyone's favorite, the one everyone wishes they could be. They just don't have the courage. You'll do just fine.
😂 I remember that pink stuff. Mum and my sisters used it all the time. They slept in curlers too. For my oldest sister’s wedding they put curlers in my hair and wrapped in the the pink netting and I tore it all off during the night. Ehh the 60’s were so unkind to women. Girdles, pointy bras, curlers and weekly hair appointments. I went the hippy way, hence the black sheep label.

Thanks for saying I’ll be fine.
