What clothes do you sleep in?

I'm curious as to what clothing you guys sleep in. I am heading for a couple of days backpacking and hanging and wondered what everyone sleeps in. Do you sleep in the clothes you wore all day? Do you let your hiking clothes air out overnight and sleep in something else?

I sleep in a t shirt and my undershorts... It's been a while since I slept fully clothed

I like to sleep in a Smartwool undershirt (light-weight T-shirt for summer, long-sleeve medium or heavy for winter), and underwear.

I find my used socks make great drip-strings.

The wool keeps me dry and prevents the wind from putting a chill in my back when there is no UQ. (This has even worked for me on 80F nights. One time I was still too hot, and took off the shirt, I cooled down to perfect within minutes.)

No doubt. If I am alone, I am snoozin eau naturalle. Otherwise, skivvies. I hate sleeping dressed.

I wear shorts, T-shirt, underwear and socks designated for sleeping only (yes, I know it's a waste of grams). I just like to feel clean when I sleep.

Unless they are really dirty I usually sleep in what I wore on the trail. That being said I'm in a cheap sleeping bag I don't care about.

I usually have a second polypro tshirt I can put on at night. I've also been toying with looking into some scrubs, the bottoms anyway, for camping PJ's I've always heard they're super comfy.

I sometime bring sleeping clothes but usually they are in addition to what I wore all day hiking. Generally I plan on sleeping in all the clothes I brought. That will just be my hiking clothes in the summer. In the winter that may include my rain gear.

One time I ate chilemac and slept in my rain pants. I created a new ecosystem based on methane gas. In the morning I found sea monkeys wiggling out of my leg holes. They died though once exposed to the oxygen rich air.

In warm months I do some lightweight athletic shorts, tshirt, and maybe the extra pair of wool socks. I also bring a long sleeve Tshirt for backup if it gets cool. No underwear, this give my area a chance to air out from hiking.
