I like to sleep naked! How do I tell my parents??!?

Question

I've recently started to sleep with nothing on, i've gotten into the habbit and now I just can't go back to wearing clothes at night....

Some weekend mornings I get woken up by my parents if they need me to help them with jobs around the house and what not, and some school days if I am not up by 7:15 they check up on me and make sure i'm not still asleep...

I'm scared of one of them walking in on me; it's not happened yet... But there is no lock on my door....

What the hell do I do?! Should I just stop doing it and force myself to wear clothes again? Or should I just tell them.... it would be extremely embarassing to tell them, as we hardly ever talk about things like that... it would just be like - the most embarassing thing to ever.

Hello. Thanks for the answers. I've read alot of people are saying "Get a lock" - but won't this give the impression that i'm up to no good in my room?

I forgot to mention, i'm nearly 18.

Answer 1

Knock before you come in, I sleep naked.

Answer 2

Despite what you may think, most parents prolly wont have a problem with this. If you want to be an adult, then just out and out tell your parents that you prefer to sleep naked, and you would apreciate if they knocked before they came into your room. Im sure unless your parents are leaders of some insane cult they will have no problem with this. A lot of kids make things a big deal when it doesn't have to be. I'm sure they will understand.

Answer 3

Theres nothing wrong with sleeping with out clothes. Once I started I couldnt go back to sleeping with clothes. Just tell your parents that you need your privacy and have them knock on your door, instead of coming right in. If you dont have an alarm clock get one and use it and start getting up when you should. If you are still scared of them walking in always have a sheet on you, they are thinner then blankets and allow your body to breathe better, when you sleep.

Answer 4

Well your almost 18 so they shouldn't just come on in your room without at least knockin' first ... least thats what I think anyways. if you like sleepin' in yer b-day suit then I'd say just do it .. first time they come in and your asleep spread eagle either face up or down .. they would prolly start knockin' after that I'd think! lol and if that happens and they ask you why you are doin' that .. just tell'em that you are more comfortable sleepin that way and would like some privacy! .... I'd have ta agree it's alot more comfortable .. but if you have other brothers or sisters that are younger and in the habit of doin' the same thing maybe you oughta wear shorts or grundys or wrap up in a sheet or somethin' least till ya get yer own place. even if they didn't see ya naked .. just the site of maybe seein ya pitchin' a tent in the mornin' would be enough ta break the habit of not knockin' ya know? lol

Answer 5

u could ask them how they feel about ppl who do that and if they say something positive then go ahead and tell them but if they say somthing negative then don't tell them

but if that doesn't work...

...then try 2 at least go to bed with some underwear on. the could help dampen the blow if they found out and got mad.
and who knows they may not care so much. truthfully parents don't flip out like u may expect them 2 all the time.
i mean i do that sometimes 2! some ppl think that its gross but its comfortable!! and i dont sleep in much (when i do wear cloths 2 bed) anyways! just a tanktop and underwear.
heh.........i bet that sounded pretty funny comin from a girl...
but anyways, i wish u the best of luck!!

Answer 6

ummm...well just tell them flat out. Be like, "Hey mom and dad, thanks for waking me up in the mornings but if u could just knock on my door instead coming in i would appreciate it. I like sleeping in the buff and would prefer you not walking in if i happen to have kicked the covers off in the night." Or something along those lines. It sounds like u r a teenager so there's a certain level of privacy your parents should be giving u now that u r rounding the age of maturity. i wouldn't think they would have an issue with it. If u feel odd telling your mom tell your dad instead...he's a dude so it's a little less embarrassing in my opinion. He can then pass it along to your mom.

Answer 7

Well if they catch you one morning that might solve it but that would be embarrassing. You could try locking the door and just more protective of your privacy, that should help. But I really don't find a reason to directly tell them.

Answer 8

Go ahead and keep sleeping in the nude, it's not hurting anything. Your parents should respect your privacy enough to knock before entering anyway. I don't know how old you are, but chances are you are old enough to be having a "private moment" in the mornings that your parents wouldn't want to walk in on. I've been sleeping nude since I was about 12, and it's never been anyone else's business

Answer 9

I don't see a problem. You're plenty old enough to sleep nude if you want. And yes, if you put a lock on the door they're probably going to think something is going on, like drug abuse or something. I wouldn't say a thing. I'd just keep doing what you've been doing. You have a right to your privacy. Ask them to please knock if they want you. Tell them that you wouldn't just walk in on them. Good luck.

Answer 10

How old are you? If you're a teen in high school, then they really shouldn't just walk in unannounced. If ur a youngster, then perhaps you could tell your mom and ask for her opinion. Your age is the big determining factor here. In the meantime, talk to them and let them know. If they accidentally walk in on you one early morning and find you naked, it will be a big surprise, for them and you. Also you might just write a note and post it on their door if you can't bring yourself to talk openly about your preference.

Answer 11

I sleep naked too, it's really not a big deal. As long as you go to sleep with sheets or a comforter over you then there shouldn't be a big problem. I can hardly fall asleep with clothes on now too, so it would suck to force yourself to start wearing them to sleep again.
