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?

Consider that a little more seriously. Things do happen in the middle of the night. Whether it be a human intruder, an animal intruder, storm, or fire, or the ultra-rare meteorite, you are entirely defenseless in the nude. Add just a pair of shorts, or some kind of robe or gown, and you are psychologically prepared to take on the universe.
Or, a towel. And, thanks for all the fish!

A thin piece of cotton covering 5% of your body is defense?

Yea, it provides protection for the entire Universe from an ugly sight.

Just because you're fat and ugly doesn't mean we all are

Try running naked vs with underwear.
That thin piece of cotton can protect men from themselves: testicular torsion and testicular trauma are much more likely if the testis aren't supported.

Add a gun then you won't feel so naked. And more likely to kill yourself or some other person in your sleep...

You come in my house unwanted, you get surprises: i'll jump at you like a nude Banshee giving a yell you've never heard before. Shoot me, i don't care. I'll do what i can to take you down and when i drop, i know my wife will jump right over my body to protect our son. She'll bite, scratch, baseball bat you to hell.
Underwear? Just gets in the way of surprising intruders. :)

In all seriousness: insects. Maybe the majority of Soylentis live in controlled environments without significant insect problems, but the majority of people in the world certainly do not.

You'd have to sleep with some pretty heavy clothing to protect against insects. Only have mosquitoes where I live, but they bite right through my regular clothing and at night, attack whichever part of my body that isn't covered by blankets.
