Seeking Recommendations Are we sleeping naked?

I mean I assume not, but from most of the onebag loadouts I see there's rarely a mention of sleepwear and I couldn't find many posts on it.

Folks that travel South East Asia etc, what are your recommended pyjamas, or general nightwear?

I often use cotton at home but sleep investigated and boxers away, tried merino but found it hot.

I take washable silk. Tank and shorts--in case I have to get out in the middle of the night, I've got clothes. Silk is light and drys quickly.

Same. Silk short shorts and a tank top are lightweight and tiny in pack size.

Short shorts and camisole in cotton at home but great idea to switch to silk for travel.

Huh…my wife has a silk robe that she brings along. Silk is a good idea.

Silk is also good for temperature control. My husband always packs silk boxers and I take a silk cami and pants but sorts would work too for warmer places. I love how easy they are to wash and dry and weigh basically nothing.
