It’s popular enough that I assume 20 is well-reasoned, but as a ‘1’, I can’t imagine myself doing it. I realize I’m the weirdo here, but I sleep in clothes that would be passable for work. I can slide on my shoes, get the dogs, grab my bag, put on a jacket and be out the door in about 30 seconds with enough stuff to leave the country or spend a night or two in the rough. Granted, that’s a little silly/extreme, but what do you do if there’s a fire or some other cause for rapid evacuation?
I’m a 20, l and I have dogs that occasionally wake up with the urgent need to go outside, I just keep a pair of sweat pants and an overcoat hanging in the wall. I can get into it without breaking stride.
20 here. If there is a fire, I assume I won’t be the first naked person the firefighters will have seen in their life, I don’t worry too much about it.
You gave me quite a chuckle thinking of a firefighter/paramedic that’s extremely professional aside from the fact that they’re squeamish about nudity. I imagined them using shears to cut off someone’s clothes while using their other hand to shield their eyes from the sight of the persons more private areas.
What would you do if it were a more widespread emergency in inclement weather, meaning you couldn’t survive outside while naked for long, but emergency services might be too preoccupied to assist you? It’s not a criticism, I’m just doing thought experiments here out of curiosity.
I suppose if you live quite isolated out in the countryside/wilderness then it’s a concern for sure. Maybe a small bag with some emergency clothing by the side of the bed would be good, then you can dress once you are safe.
What you say makes sense. I guess I was imagining a situation in which other people are affected similarly the point that they’re not available to help.
as a firefighter myself, I have honestly told my crews if they are doing cpr on me for some reason, I’m making them as uncomfortable as possible knowing full well they’ll snapchat it anyway. we all love each other.
I’m the exact opposite. Wearing full clothes in bed is some psychopath shit. Either you sleep perfectly still, or you enjoy waking up with the pants twisted sideways and the shirt choking you. Either way that’s fucking creepy.
I’m assuming this is being said, tongue-in-cheek, but for the record, yes, I do sleep that way. I don’t know if it’s creeped people out before, but family have, in a friendly manner, teased me about sleeping as if I were at my own wake.
Weirdly I’m always unfairly judgemental when I see someone in very I door wear in public. Unless it’s somewhere lawless like an airport, pajamas or super comfort sports wear in public always irks me. But on the other hand, it literally makes more sense to be as comfortable as possible and for some pointless reason, I feel very beholden to the fashion standards that make it feel weird.
but what do you do if there’s a fire or some other cause for rapid evacuation?
In that case, my appearance is the least of my problems. But jumping out of bed and taking the duvet with me will do don’t you think ?
tip; sleep with your bedroom door closed. you’d be very surprised at how much time it can buy to get out alive. of course also CHANGE YOUR DETECTOR BATTERIES too. :)
source: am firefighter. it’s amazing how soot covered a hallway can be and tenable a bedroom can be with its door closed.
Do you not reuse any part of your outfit from day to day? Like do you have at least 7 different pairs of pants that you cycle through? Cause that’s why I wouldn’t do this, I’d rather not go out with some clothes then bring all that outside dirt into my bed.
Living in the Ring of Fire my whole life, keep the shoes, helmet, and emergency bag by the bed too so you can run quickly in case of earthquake/tsunami/ edit: volcanic eruption
I’m not sure if its common, but definitely sensible.
Shoes by the bed for broken glass
Helmet to protect from falling furniture
Loud emergency whistle in your day bag and at another home.
Respirator so you don’t breathe in volcanic glass if there’s an eruption.
I’ve seen some people recommend a prybar like this and a battery-powered cutting tool in case you need to free yourself from inside the building. Door and window frames could shift and might get stuck, even if the building is still standing.

I think surviving a fire is more important than someone seeing your naked body.
That’s a really good point. I’d like to add that I’ve lived in places where I wouldn’t survive much longer outside while naked.
And you sleep in enough clothing to make a difference?
Weirdly, yeah. I won’t pretend that I would do well with that alone, but it’s enough to make a significant difference with a shell over it.
I suppose if you live quite isolated out in the countryside/wilderness then it’s a concern for sure. Maybe a small bag with some emergency clothing by the side of the bed would be good, then you can dress once you are safe.
For most of us though, help is a door knock away.

Exactly the issue for me. Wearing anything in bed just feels like I’m getting tangled up in fabrics.

You are only beholden to looking good

It might. You know your environment better than I do. I just like hearing other perspectives.

So, Mr. Bond, we meet again …
Do you expect me to talk?
No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die .
Living in the Ring of Fire my whole life, keep the shoes, helmet, and emergency bag by the bed too so you can run quickly in case of earthquake/tsunami/ edit: volcanic eruption
That makes the most sense to me.
On a side note, I hadn’t even considered a helmet. Is that common in earthquake-prone areas?
I’m not sure if its common, but definitely sensible.

I’m a firefighter and I sleep like 20. Just get good. :)
Damn. There’s no coming back from that burn.
