A rare event occurred this morning: I didn't wake up until my alarm went off. For the past couple of days, nearly all of last week, I've been waking up at 7 am every morning. Granted, one of those mornings Lisa's alarm went off and drove me to distraction before I forsook my bed and went and turned it off, and there was the weekend where I went to bed still buzzed on Friday night/Saturday morning (but not Saturday, so that's still one night of wacky sleep stuff). Last night, I went to bed and fell asleep pretty quickly (another rarity for me) and woke when my alarm tuned in to the Howard Stern show on K-Rock.

I blame the change in sleepwear. Different PJs = sleep adjusters? Discuss.

How can we discuss with so little detail...

I mean, are we talking the change from silks to flannel? Cotton to Nylon? Footed PJs to nighties?

Simply not enough information for scientific explanations of how your new PJs have affected your sleep patterns <nods sagely>

This isn't a scientific debate. This is an open forum to see what others have found when changing bedclotheses.

carpdeus does raise a good point though. The material composition of said bedclothes can make a rather significant difference in the type of sleep one has.

Haha, two posts in a row on my f-list obsesssing over alarms and waking up before them...

I'm not obsessing, I'm cranky from sleep loss. I can sleep in past when most people can and still get to work on time. I want to do that, damn it!

There's a simple solution to this (assuming you want to solve it - I personally would love to wake up before I'm already late):

sleep in the nude.

Eh heh, heh, heh...

When I say "change of sleeping gear," I was trying to avoid saying I was wearing some for a change...

Did you hear the "poing" sound? That was the sound made by the brain of every boy on your friends list upon reading this.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Which is why I was avoiding the issue. And I had thought no one would be coming back to this thread. Oh dear...

[arcane-the-sage.livejournal.com]

To be fair, you did name this a discussion tread. So of course a few of us would come back to see if the discussion progressed ^_^

Well there you go. Changes in how warm you are while sleeping can make you sleep a much deeper (and sometimes longer) sleep. If you are wearing more than usual, then it's possible you've hit a new zone in sleeping. If that's the case then you will have to adapt to the new sleeping conditions before you can get back on schedule.
