View Full Version : Sleeping in just boxer briefs?

Normally I sleep in a t-shirt, underwear, and pajama pants. Growing up I noticed that both my dad and my brother sleep in nothing but their boxers. No shirt, no pants, just boxers. And most of my friends do it too. For some reason I just never tried it. But now that it's summer and it's so hot, I figured why not. So for the past couple nights I look off my shirt and pajama pants and I have been trying to sleep in nothing but my boxer briefs. But for some reason, I just can't sleep.

I don't know what the issue is. I toss and turn for hours, but I can't sleep. Ultimately I end up putting my shirt and pajama pants back on because I'm tired and I can't sleep in just boxer briefs.

What do you guys think the issue is? It's not that they are tight or anything. I actually find that sleeping without a shirt and no pajama pants is EXTREMELY comfortable. I love the freedom and the overall feeling of it. Maybe it's that I'm just too excited? I don't know.

It's just weird and a little frustrating because it's comfortable and I want to be able to sleep like that, but I can't. What do you guys think is wrong?

seems to me you just have to decide then either spend a few nights getting used to it and then be ok or decide you prefer PJs

I'm the same way but I can only sleep in my underwear.. I can't sleep with a shirt, pants anything besides my underwear and sometimes I don't even wear those!

i find even sleeping in boxer-briefs is uncomfortable for me and I sleep naked most every-night...and i share a room with my brother and he does the same...but you just have to keep trying the way you want and see if it will work for you ....

I find that any disruption to my normal sleep rituals pretty much dooms my nights sleep. If it gets too hot, I get tempted to strip off my boxer briefs. When I'm naked, I can't fall or stay asleep. I guess it comes down to my habits that I can't break without feeling weird. Maybe it's a minor OCD thing for me.

Thanks guys. I think what I'm going to try to do is take a little off at a time. Tonight I'll try sleeping in boxer briefs and a t-shirt. Once I get used to that, I'll try to take my shirt off. I figured it would be a process, as I'm just so used to sleeping fully clothed. Thanks for the suggestions. :)

The only thing I can think of that could be stopping you from sleeping is that you're not used to having so few clothes on in bed. Maybe if you try easing from what you normally wear into just underwear then it would work for you. For example, one night try taking your shirt off, if that works then try taking your pants off, then your underwear etc.

Do what Giles said. His plan sounds better then all the other posters no offense.

I sleep only in my underwear during the summer. Just like you, I wear boxer-briefs, and I love the freedom of it.
One night you should try taking off your shirt or PJs and the other night, go with just your underwear. You just need to get used to sleeping with less clothes on.

All year round, i sleep in my boxer briefs but i have wanted to try sleeping naked. I have a feeling i will stay up all night just because its something new and you might be excited because your trying something new. But don't do what other people do, just sleep how you want to sleep. It might take awhile to get adjusted but you will get used to it!

That's how I feel with a shirt and shorts or pj pants so I end up just boxers but like you said it's more comfy so I don't mind:p
