[quote=Anonymous]I may not go as far as saying its truly unhygienic or unsafe in some way, but it's certainly dirty. These clothes have been sitting on and leaning against chairs, steps, tables and wherever else that is in the public and you know it's not clean...

My 15 yr old DS insists on taking a shower every night before bed and has been doing this since he was little. He says he doesn't sleep as well without a shower, but he also has sports practice after school and is usually pretty stinky when he gets home. Since it's a no-go for me to have the sheets changed every day since I think it's a waste of laundry and time, I don't want him crawling into bed with his nasty sweat and dirt from the day. Shower and then bed is his routine.

Even if the clothing from the day works for your son I would wonder whether he is really set up to have a good night's sleep. I know it may sound silly, but I believe having a good evening routine will help in getting quality sleep. We all did it when they were babies and toddlers, why should it stop when they are older? I know I am a bit thrown off when I don't have my normal routine at night...just a thought...that's where I would be be concerned (even if I think sleeping in the day's clothes is dirty).[/quote]
