That sounds so sloppy and uncomfortable to me.

For kids still not dry at night has anyone ever tried using cloth diapers instead of the disposable ones?

Don't know about that ODS (17) sleeps in the nude and YDS (13) sleeps in boxers and I have a DD (15) too. Perhaps it's just personal preference.

Agree, same with my sons.

I think that also depends on how old they are. They older they get the less they wear in general I think.

Usually underwear. Sometimes fleece pj pants and a tshirt. Boys are 4,6,&8

That was about the same time when my sons stopped wearing pajamas as well. DS (13) sleeps in the nude now and DS (10) just wears boxers.

I run cold, and would wear a dang parka to bed if possible. But our two kids I long since learned not to copy/paste my preferences onto them - and they both are apparently like furnaces in the night. So oldest DS tends to wear just underwear, and YDS wears just a pull-up.

Despite us living in house that has the insulation properties of a medieval castle.

Boys Summer: t-shirt, shorts, and underwear

Boys Winter: merino wool pjs and underwear

(Our house is old - and noticeably cooler in winter than in summer.)

Yes that seems perfectly fine to me.

Yes my DS (10) also just sleeps in his underwear but he has a few pairs of PJ's for loungewear.

I don't know. I think it depends more on what the parents wear - especially the one of the same gender and perhaps on what their peers do.

Yes and why would siblings need to go in to each others bedrooms at night?

Have you asked him if he wants to wear them. Our three sons (10, 14 and 15) haven’t worn pajamas since they were about 7 or 8, at which time they all started sleeping in just their underwear. Youngest still does, and the older two ditched the underwear somewhere around their 13th birthdays and have slept in the nude ever since.

Yes why buy them if he doesn't need them and for loungewear sweats will do just fine.
