According to a new survey of over 1,000 people across the country, 58 percent say they sleep in the nude.

Not surprisingly, men are more likely to sleep naked than women – though more than half of women still report sleeping without any clothes. Only 39 percent of Boomers sleep in the buff, compared with nearly 65 percent of Millennials, the survey found.

Relationships seem to relax people's sleeping habits, with 72 percent of nude sleepers report being in a relationship, compared to only only half of single people. More than half of people who sleep nude report that their partner does, too.

[...] Nearly 70 percent of respondents who sleep naked said they do so because they're more comfortable without clothes. About 58 percent said nude sleeping was relaxing, and 54 percent said it improves their sleep. (Roughly 15 percent said they sleep naked to keep their genitals "free and happy.")

So... all? or Nothing?

    Midnight bathroom trips for pee? Use those plastic laundry detergent bottles with the nice large cap on the top. [dollartree.com] Prevents splatters. You can keep it next to the bed, and and answer the nature call bedside, and not get all woke up, mess with bright lights, cold floors, and stubbing toes on the bed post.

    Comes in several colors.

    The nicely fitting lid will keep the place tidy. And by the time stuff begins to grow in there and stink, you will have another coming available from the laundry area. I find the dollar sized bottle perfectly sized for a day's pee collection, neatly poured down the toilet or outside in the bushes the next day.

    No, I am not kidding. I've been doing this for years, as I have some prostate problems, and the pee won't come out in a neat stream and I end up most of the time getting half the piss on ME. I really like that bottle, as it keeps my business tidy.

    I use am orange juice bottle. A hook on the table next to the bed gives it a place to be without getting in the way. Swap it with a new one once a week or so. Empty it, wash it and throw it in the recycling. Works great. Better than a midnight stumble through the house for a piss.

    Same prostate issue here...I use a hospital-style pee bottle. Big easy-to-hit mouth with a hinged snap-on lid. A few bucks at the pharmacy -- or "free" if you've had a hospital stay, because the hospital doesn't want it back.

    Eww. I used to do that when I drove truck OTR, but no thanks.

    My GF would literally freak at the thought. I have been a personal care attendant for an uncle who suffered a debilitating stroke and had to utilize such measures so it is not just squeamishness that is speaking, but just plain NO. If I had aiming issues or such I'd just sit down and doze. I spent a summer as a child riding shotgun with a long haul trucker uncle, and he had such a setup for certain places when there wasn't a rest stop and you couldn't stop, but even in that environment it wasn't the first option.
