Minimalist, I've been trying, for a few days now, to respond to your question. The site has been "uncooperative". Seems to be fixed now, so...When it comes to sleeping nude, at my house there are two major factors that have to be taken into consideration. First is creature (me) comfort. It's WINTER here, mate. Having been born and raised in the West Texas desert, I LOVE the heat...and, conversely, I hate the cold. Wearing pajamas to bed in the winter time, in the interest of creature comfort, does NOT seem (to ME, at least) like a disloyalty to my nudist nature. I just hate being cold. And the second major factor that needs to be taken into consideration is one of social acceptance. You see, I have a HOUSE GUEST. Long story short: my 38 year old stepdaughter has moved back home. Although her mother is grudgingly accepting of my nudity, she would NOT be tolerant of my nudity around her daughter. And because we do NOT close our bedroom door, it is expedient to wear SOMETHING to bed, be it as minimal as possible in warm weather. Sooooo, friend Minimalist, when I go to take my bins to the curb naked, I go out on my patio, GET NAKED, and then proceed about my business. Makes sense? I hope so. LOL
If you are cold under the covers in winter, pajamas make sense. I wore heavy pajamas in winter and light ones in summer when I was single, but after I was married, I found that having a second body kept me warm enough. I did wear light weight pajamas for a while, then sleep shorts only then light weight boxers before arriving at nothing. Should have gotten rid of all of my sleepwear as soon as I got married. We usually slept with the door closed so privacy wasn't an issue.
Do you have any opportunity to be nude when your stepdaughter is at work?
As creator of this group, I ought to have added my piece to this topic, so here goes:
1) My most recent daring nudity was done accidentally this morning when I walked out of the male changing room into the busy pool area at the local 25-metre pool with my swimsuit in my hand and not on my body. I was immediately reminded of my omission by the attendant to which I responded by putting it on without panicking.
2) The nudity which was most daring at the time was the first time I walked round the block at the holiday apartment we were renting. I had taken the refuse out to the refuse bin several times before, after carefully checking that there ws no traffic around, but on this particular morning I suddenly decided to walk along the road past the next set of holiday apartments, a distance of a couple of hundred yards. I then returned to our apartment by walking down to the beach and along the beach front of the apartments. It now seems trivial for time, distance, risk, etc. in retrospect but at the time it involved a much greater degree of daring than anything I have done since.
3) The one thing which many would regard as daring and which I have so far failed to do it to join a WNBR cycle ride. Somehow everyday life has seemed to get in the way, together with a feeling that it would be hypocritical to burn oil in order to join an event which protests against oil dependency when it would be mostly for the fun of it.

While I understand your position on driving a distance to participate in a WBNR, someone else on this site has been to several all over the eastern half of the US and southeast Canada. He does try to combine trips.
Minimalist, the answer to your question is: Yes. The minute the stepdaughter leaves the house, the clothes come OFF. I keep close track of her comings and goings. We are at the beginning of spring here in Oz so opportunities to go naked are on the RISE!
By the way...TODAY is Friday here...and...YES,I took the refuse bin AND the recycling bin to the curb...naked, of course!
Cheers!

With my wife's brother and his family living in Australia, we are familiar with the time and season reversals.
Making sure we only call early in the morning or late in the evening.
Opposite seasons.
Getting birthday and holiday greetings on line a day ahead of time.
Seeing one sunrise and sunset but arriving 2 days later,
Flying from Sydney in the afternoon and arriving in California on the morning of the same day.

I am a little surprised that you haven't adjusted more to the lower, but not extreme temperatures where you live now.
