I tend to sleep in PJs in hotels, but I don't see how what you sleep in would help. If they are in the bed they are going to bite you. If they are in the bed they are in your hotel room and basically you are in big trouble.
Check hotel reviews or whatever the bed bug registry is and just sleep in what makes you feel comfortable.
Forgive me, Carol, but if you don't use the bed or the tub, what do you do? Play "the floor is lava?"
As stated I am not this OP but the OP of a thread a few months back. Therefore my point was that EVEN I never gave this a second thought.

I do sleep with PJs close by in case the fire alarm goes off and we have to evacuate in the middle of the night.
You could check out the bedbug registry if you are concerned.

Full footie pajamas and saran wrap to make sure I'm fully bug-proof.
To do any less is to invite disaster, OP. Consider yourself forewarned!

Nope. Sleep naked at home and away. Happy to report I've never gotten bed bugs

It is paranoia, and not grounded in any sort of fact.

I am not worried about bed bug bites. I would be worried about bed bugs getting on my clothes. As such, I sleep nude.

I'd be more worried about bringing the critters home through your luggage.

That's paranoia. Makes no difference to me whatsoever.
