BUCK NAKED!"

* In ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'', an early running gag in the manga was that not only does Italy sleep in the buff, but he also has the occasional tendency to forget to put pants on when he wakes up. [[InnocentFanserviceGirl Not that he minds]], though [[PleasePutSomeClothesOn everyone else does]]. This gag has been largely abandoned (though Italy's sleeping habits remain the same). The anime edited things so that Italy sleeps in his underwear, which [[{{Bowdlerise}} kind of missed the point of the joke]], though this tendency of his was still referenced once in the dub.

* ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'': Rias Gremory. Issei gets the shock of his life when he finds her [[BedmateReveal sleeping next to him]] completely naked. [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl Girl even flaunts her assets in his face.]] Partially [[JustifiedTrope justified]] as Rias explains she can't fall asleep unless she's naked.

Melty says Filo's feathers are so warm that she had to sleep with them touching every part of her.

* In ''Film/{{Entrapment}}'', Gin (Creator/CatherineZetaJones) has to sleep naked in a hotel room after her luggage is stolen by Mac, the GentlemanThief she's trying to meet. Naturally, he sneaks into her room to meet her that night and she ends up giving him a NakedFirstImpression. Later in the movie she's once again shown sleeping naked, this time with no excuse. Mac finds her and [[IgnoreTheFanservice covers her up]] with a ModestyBedsheet.

* Lupe Lamora (Creator/TalisaSoto) in ''Film/LicenceToKill''. She's introduced sleeping with her lover post-sex. Later, when Film/JamesBond infiltrates the cruise ship she's on and sneaks into her bedroom to take her as hostage, she gets up and cover herself with ModestyBedsheet.

* ''Literature/{{Everworld}}:'' The first time that David finds himself back in the normal world (for more than ten seconds) involves waking up in his own bed. He throws off the covers in surprise and informs us that he has "nothing on"--meaning that he didn't ''physically'' return from Everworld, but also that his "[[UpTheRealRabbitHole real world]]"-self apparently doesn't wear pajamas.

* In ''Literature/NineteenEightyFour,'' Winston sleeps this way because ''"members of the Outer Party receive only three thousand clothing coupons annually, and a suit of pajamas was six hundred."''
* In ''Literature/TheOnceAndFutureKing,'' this is first mentioned when twelve-year-old Wart and fourteen-year-old Kay jump out of bed to fight, ''"looking rather liked skinned rabbits--for in those days, nobody wore clothes to bed."'' Later uses of this trope are more obviously meant to imply sex or, in the case of one man climbing into a bed that he doesn't realize another man is already sleeping in, [[NakedPeopleAreFunny humor]].
* ''Literature/OthersidePicnic'': Toriko, to Sorawo's sudden horror and embarrassment when she discovers it, sleeps naked "when she feels like it." Sorawo has to deal with the realization that she spent the night in bed with a naked Toriko.

* While she isn’t implied to sleep nude all the time, in “Literature/CatchingFire” Katniss wakes from a particularly bad nightmare to find her nightclothes soaked in sweat. Rather than change into clean ones, she elects to just strip them off and go back to bed naked.

** Played for laughs in the episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E15TheSuperSpeedyCiderSqueezy6000 The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000]]". Rainbow Dash barges into Fluttershy's bedroom and pulls off her bed-covers, and Fluttershy blushes and covers herself up as though she had been caught sleeping nude -- in spite of the fact that as ponies they don't usually wear clothes at all.

* In early seasons of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', Marge was often shown nude in bed. [[{{Bowdlerize}} Later seasons tend to put her in a nightgown.]]
** Homer does this in "The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace" in an effort to emulate UsefulNotes/ThomasEdison.

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'': Implied in the episode "Plankton!". When the mind-controlled [=SpongeBob=] breaks into Squidward's house, the [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal perpetually pantsless octopus]] isn't wearing a shirt and his lower body is covered with the blanket. This is further supported by commentary for the episode revealing that Squidward was originally supposed to appear naked in one scene. Squidward wears pyjamas in pretty much every other episode where he's shown sleeping.

* ''Film/Daredevil2003'': Matt seems to do this, but in an ice-filled coffin instead. After a ([[FanDisservice not so titillating]]) ShowerScene, he proceeds to sleep in said makeshift bed.
