deird1I feel like I should be writing a scientific paper on the effectiveness of pyjamas.
Went to bed last night wearing my most summery of summer pjs - because I am so thoroughly sick of wearing thick flannel. It was freezing, and, by any logic, the pjs wouldn't have done much at all. Those babies are thin.
But...
Shortly after going to bed, I noticed that one of the straps on the top was broken, and my pj top was going to fall down (or... sideways) all night. My reaction? "Eh - they're thin, it's not like it'll make a difference." So I dropped the top on the floor, and snuggled back down to sleep.
THAT WAY-TOO-THIN MATERIAL ACTUALLY DOES SOMETHING. IT REALLY DOES.
I spent the whole night wrapped in four layers of bed sheets and blankets, and my top half was freezing while my bottom half was warm and snug - even though most of my bottom half didn't actually have any pjs on at all.
This morning? Same thing. I was wrapped up tightly in my very warm dressing gown... but because I wasn't wearing a top, I was freezing everywhere above my waist.
Teeny pjs still keep you warm. Who'da thunk.
This really should be extended out into a full thesis, with proper test results and a control group...
