Wow... you are definitely a candidate to get setup for a home video of your sleeping so you can determine how this happens. Perhaps you find it too warm during the night? In any case destroy video after you have analyzed it otherwise it may mysteriously end up on youtube. Well maybe not quite so mysteriously... you may post it there during your sleep one fine evening.

okay, you obviously need help. I suppose I can sacrifice a night to observe.

Please don't feel slighted, Leonbergergirl! We need a volunteer to serve as our experimental control.

Fortomorrow clearly has a very perplexing sleep-related issue that many readers here would just love to solve. And this message board is notoriously helpful when it comes to paying attention to such sleep-related mysteries. Now that I think about it, they're not too shabby about solving CPAP and SDB mysteries either.

Fortomorrow, your sleep-related disorder may not be simply a matter of subconsciously disrobing during sleep at night. I think it's entirely possible that your subconscious prefers to alternate from whatever state of dress or undress you happen to be in during sleep. For the sake of science, I would suggest that you start off each night sleeping undressed. But leave a readily available garment folded on your nightstand and ready to go, should this be a matter of your subconscious wanting to alternate state of dress. This experiment helps us objectively pin down whether your subconscious prefers to get naked or simply wants to alternate from whatever state of dress/undress you happen to be.

Leonbergergirl, this is where you come in as the experimental control, since you are not known to manifest this sleep behavior. It would help immensely if you would also sleep buck naked, while reporting all the details here---exactly as we hope fortomorrow will do for the sake of science. Please, let's not forget those ever-so-important scientific video logs that others here have suggested. I never would have thought of that myself. I think that beautifully drives the point home that good science is truly a collaborative effort!

Sleep puzzle be damned! I'm thinking that with enough objective nakeddity experiments and scientific controls... we may one day get to the bottom of this fascinating sleep mystery. I think the idea here is to generate both an understanding and solution to this potentially burdensome sleep disorder----should this kind of thing ever happen again. And I'm sure it's just a coincidence that all the helpers in this thread happen to be male.

Kudos to the inordinately helpful people on this message board! Always there to help! My kind of people!

Ok ... I guess I could volunteer some of my time to observe but tell me SWS, how shall we establish criteria to quantify the observations? ... and will this require any special equipment and hands-on training?

This could take many many nights of observation without proper planning ... but for the sake of science, men have to do what men have to do.
President-pretender, J. Biden, said "the DNC has built the largest voter fraud organization in US history". Too bad they didn’t build the smartest voter fraud organization and got caught.

I think as an experiment, every female should go to sleep naked tonight, leaving your sleep attire close by, and report the results here tomorrow. Pictures and/or video may help speed up the diagnosis.

Well, I think boston has the right idea in the post above. Again, that drives my point home about scientific collaboration being ever so fun... oops... I meant to say helpful.

Fortomorrow,

Clearly you have proof now that the rumours are true: The Underpants Gnomes ARE evolving.

First, I think you need to call their Creators - the guys behind South Park.

Second, I think you should call the TAPS guys and get them to do an overnight observation of you, film it, and put it on Cable TV.

Let me know how it all works out. You know I love South Park and TAPS.

LOL,
B.

I think you need one of those "motion cameras" that take pictures at night when anything moves through a certain area. We use them up here in the North to watch deer movements at night..
