This is a question Advice from Old People

Sometimes, just sometimes, old people say something worth listening to. Ok, so it's like picking the needle out of a whole haystack of mis-remembered war stories, but those gems should be celebrated.

Tell us something worthwhile an old-type person has told you.

Note, we're leaving the definition of old up to you, you smooth-skinned youngsters.

My Nan
My Nan told me that it was better to sleep without underwear on because it, "needs to breath."

As a seven-year-old, I didn't like the idea of it 'breathing' so I didn't take her advice. But I grew up knowing that my Nan sleeps commando.

Have a *click* for gran nakedness mindbleach
The opposite however seems to be the case: if you're a very hairy person, being naked is best. If you're smooth skinned and non-hairy, cotton is best as it takes all the sweat away and lets it dry off.

Gross, I know. But a great reason to wear bedclothes - makes your bedsheets smell less, and you can more easily shove them in a washing machine daily than stripping the bed daily.

From the partner
If you're a girl, then sleeping with thongs on is generally not a good idea as they're in such close proximity to your body.

I didnt realize that there were hygiene issues associated with it (what happened to good old washing of ourselves rather than out bedclothes?) but I've never understood the supposed taboo to sleeping naked, why not? Who could ever see or know? And if you can't feel comfortable in your own bed, even without a partner net to you, then where can you feel comfortable?
