He has long pajama pants, and he sometimes wears them in winter. He hates those tight fitting pajama styles which makes him feel uncomfortable. He is not skinny.

That sounds so sloppy and uncomfortable to me.

My mom always said sleeping in clothes was unsanitary and unhygienic.

Dr. Paul Fleiss, who wrote a book about children and sleep agreed:


“It is important that your child does not sleep in his or her clothes. Sleeping in clothes is not only unsanitary and unhealthy, it also deprives a child of the psychological benefits to be gained by establishing a clear demarcation between wakefulness and sleep”

I was surprised when this subject came up among parents at my daughter's game over how many moms said their kids dress for the next day before bed and just sleep in school clothes.

When I was a kid, my sister and I wore clean pajamas, changed about every 3 days, brother wore a clean pair of boxers every night. Mom changed sheets every week.

How times have changed in 30 years!
