The lack of sleep is just a way of life to me now. I have learned to work round it. Alice - I have three more pairs just ironed and ready if you want to ring the changes.

I was trying to decide what I felt about wearing pajamas to shop, and paused to look down at myself. My gosh! I'm wearing pajamas and it's nearly 10 a.m. in the morning. But I am at home, and I'm fully covered so even if I accidentally walk by a mirror I won't crash into anything. Seriously, I think there are more serious things in the world to worry about--like not being able to get enough sleep, for starters. I have resorted to an occasional Tylenol PM to help me sleep, but learned from a pharmacist lecturing at my school that the sleep ingredient used is benadryl which is a drying agent, and will dry your whole body out. Living in the southwest, I have enough trouble staying adequately hydrated as it is, so I gave that up. Now I have good luck sleeping most of the time. The trick for me--when I can accomplish it--is to keep pushing all those thoughts away that come crowding into my head in the wee hours and refusing to think about them, sort of like self-hynopsis I guess. Like Gone with the Wind heroine Scarlet O'Hara "I'll think about that tomorrow". Works reasonably well. I find that sooner or later, I'll fall into bed at 7 pm one evening and wake up at 6 am the next morning. It's chronic, and eventually the pattern starts all over again but, like you, I refuse to resort to sleeping pills--not even that Tylenol PM. Well, if that ain’t all!

I have an idea and it is all your fault. :lol: Ramana - we wear the same clothes at home as well as out doors, mind you, for many months of the year we need to add extra layers when venturing outside. Now that I have joined the ranks of the retired I notice my fashion has relaxed a little. I still like to 'tidy up' if meeting someone for lunch or dinner, I see it as a form of respect for the person I am meeting. Magpie - Yes! I have an idea and it is all your fault. :lol:

What we wear at home and what we wear when going out are the same for those who prefer the Indian dress like I do. It is unfortunate that many Indians are compelled by expectations to 'dress' in totally unsuitable for Indian climate, clothes for going out. It is really pathetic to see people wearing modern clothes and being uncomfortable, rather than comfortable clothes suitable for the Indian climate. I can pontificate now. I went through a life time of wearing uncomfortable colthes to make my bread and butter and now am enjoying the jam wearing suitable Indian clothes. The Internet is full of people in funny clothes shopping in Walmart. I suspect that you have also been exposed to those. I however think the Tesco is carrying it too far. If the customer is comfortable wearing what she is wearing in public, what is the big deal? I am glad that I live in India.

I object to the unpleasant sight of people who have let their appearance slip parading a round in next to nothing... I also admit to preferring to see poeple smartly dressed and to being smartly dressed myself...I just cannot afford it these days... Have to say that Pyjamas can look quite smart and would certainly be an improvement on some costumes... I remember young women wearing nightdresses to formal "dos" when I was at college and in the 70s. As for those Hot Dog Girls.... well they were utilising their assets! I missed this post yesterday

Pyjamas
Date: 1800

1 : loose lightweight trousers formerly much worn in the Near East
2 : a loose usually two-piece lightweight suit designed especially for sleeping or lounging

No 2 (lounging) reminds me of upper class country house parties as in films or such louche individuals asGorge Melley for some reason.

One man's pyjamas may very well be another man's designer outfit. It's all in the mind I tell you!
