Free yourself! In the video you can see why you can do without pajamas, nightgown and co. Psst! It’s not just about recreation …
According to a survey, only 12 percent of Germans prefer to sleep naked. It’s a pity, because there are very convincing reasons to do without pajamas, nightshirts and more. Incidentally, people used to think in the majority as well. It was not until the year 1500 that members of the Italian upper class started dressing at night – but only on cold nights.
