I'm going naked. I knew the risks going in.

Here's the thing... When you're neurodivergent and any clothing you wear to bed will twist and wrinkle and keep you awake every night, you have to weigh the quality of sleep every night vs the rare instance of an emergency. I choose sleep. But I also have a robe next to my bed.

Usually pants are very close to my bed, even if I evacuated nude, taking some basic clothing with me wouldn’t be a big deal, I also wear pants in no time. Countless times I woke to like parcel delivery and had to dress up quickly, it’s not a big deal

I rather sleep comfortable for the 99.9% where there isn't a fire than be inconvenienced that one time that may never happen.

Now early package delivery? The number of times I've received my package on an early Saturday with by dick swinging in a bath robe is probably way too high. But they don't know that!

I live in a part of the world where going outside in you pajamas means you could die anyways? Should I wear a jacket to bed and just die of heat exhaustion, instead? If only there were other options...

I don’t live my life now for a bunch of what ifs. My neighbors can look at my dingaling. Fuck em.

If the toga was good enough for the Greeks, its good enough in an emergency. Blanket, sheets, nearest curtains, whatever.

You gonna sleep with shoes on, too?

(Also what BlueLineBae said below re: neurodivergent)

Robe, or just going naked out the door. Probably naked since my priority first is getting my partner and animals out. In this scenario, lacking clothes seems like a pretty minor thing.

How often has this happend to you?

I don't sleep in my glasses and I don't sleep in my shoes and coat in winter. I'll have to get dressed anyway--possibly just in glasses, shoes, and long coat.

My bigger worry is that my dog isn't currently wearing his harness and ID (he had a bath). I'd have to either toss him in a crate and carry him out, or get him dressed in his harness.

There was another post that also raised my eyebrow for similar reasons. They were agonizing about what to wear to bed but still be ready to cover up quickly. My answer is the same: a robe. This is a solved issue! Need something to wear to breakfast, but family or friends are over? Robe. Wear sexy/non-traditional/nothing/butt-plug/whatever? Robe. Man/woman/child/other: robe.

Whether it's on a hanger or wadded up, it probably takes about 10 seconds to throw on in an emergency. If someone is that paranoid about being immodest while saving their life, keep it hanging on the front door. You could grab it as you ran out the door and it would literally take no extra time. Sure, in the most urgent fire, etc my bare ass might be out for less than a minute while I put it on across the street, but that's in the worst-case scenario...

I keep shorts next to my bed, I'd try to grab them as I hop out but if that didn't work out I'm okay going nude. I'm not going to constrict myself on the miniscule chance of an emergency, that's living in fear.

I have a bathrobe i can throw on in like two seconds in my room on the way out

I know where my towel is.

Do you not go outside because a meteorite could hit you?

Blanket turns into toga. Problem solved.

In the summer I may as well catch on fire if I sleep in clothes. A fire preventing me from getting dressed is just a good excuse to not have to wear them outside for once. In winter when I'm happy to wear clothes I wear them in bed too.

I keep a robe and also shorts near my bed. If there's a huge catastrophe that doesn't allow me to get either of those on, oh well.

if there is a fire, are you gonna dress first or evacuate the building in your natural state?

I had a teacher whose building was set on fire by a crazy person. The firemen banged on his door at 2am and told him to evacuate as he was (he lived just below the arsonist)
