FALLing Asleep

As the seasons change, I start thinking about new layers for my bed and my bod at home. I’m a “seasons girl.” Not only do I love to watch the seasons change, but I love to wear the seasons proudly.

Cue Fall, my absolute favorite time of the year.

Once mid-September rolls around, it’s time to start swapping out those skimpier summer PJs, robes, and gauzy pants for cozier, more substantial coverups. I have never been terribly enchanted with full pajama sets for sleep, but I do love a good nighty or onesie. (Although there are some killer PJ sets out there and I’m starting to change my tune.)

Whether you’re an all-nude-all-the-time sleeper, or you’re rocking a classic flannel PJ set, I’m here for it. You do you. Whatever signals your mind to change into chill-mode in the hours before bed and in bed is what matters. I’ve learned that changing out of my day clothes and into my loungewear or sleepwear is a game changer for my sleep—not just my quality of sleep, but it even changed what time I go to sleep—and I’m embarrassed to admit that a concept as simple as changing out of my day clothes right when I get home eluded me for so many years.

Bedfully co-founder Allison Oleskey was the one who really set the example for me. The first thing she does when she gets home — after kissing and hugging her daughter and husband, of course — is change out of her day clothes and right into lounge or sleepwear. This happens in the first 10-15 minutes of her stepping through the door. For Oleskey, the home fashion show usually includes her favorite uniform: An oversized hoodie atop oversized sweatpants or long nightgown, and yes, oversized fluffy slippers. There is something about watching her immediately shed her day clothes that showed me how she is mentally shedding her stressful day along with them. Here I was, the forever-fashion girl, who merely kicked off her shoes and used to stay in whatever “lewk” I was rocking that day for hours until bedtime. Well, these days it’s day-lewks-be-gone…and stylish, cozy lewks abound!

Looking for sleep and loungewear styles for a Fall season change up? You came to the right place. Get ready to elevate your Fall sleep game, lounge around, and stream your shows in style.
