Dear (_____)

Dear naked sleepers,

I understand the struggle.  I understand your frustrations at sleep overs.  I understand the hardship when sleeping on a friends couch after a fun night is the only option.  I get forgetting you've wriggled out of your clothes under your blanket when you've had a platonic friend spend the evening a few feet away.

Above all, I understand your Winter.  I know the fakers are out there.  The ones who say they sleep naked, but really only in Summer and really only on some days in Summer and really only under certain circumstances on those days.  They don't get it.  They've never walked halfway to the kitchen after waking up in the middle of the night and turned back because they would rather be thirsty or go hungry for the rest of the night, then put on pajamas or sweats or clothing of any kind.  They've never turned back halfway to the ice cold bathroom because they'd rather try to hold it til morning than dress themselves only to undress again.  Once clothes come off for bed, that's it!  I will not put them on so long as there is a sleepy cell in my body and not a minute before my alarm demands I do!

naked sleepers, I salute,

Sincerely,

a brother in arms
