Asia later gets in on it in order not to lose to Rias.

While pajamas or underwear are the most commonly depicted garments worn for sleep, it's also not uncommon to depict a person [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin wearing nothing to bed at all.]]

Sometimes used to illustrate the setting, such as a depiction of a period before sleepwear became mainstream, or character, as in showing a person [[NoNudityTaboo prefers not to wear clothes]] at [[HomeNudist home at all]] or has other traits to them that make sleepwear either unnecessary or in some way a hindrance.

Naturally, it also serves as a form of {{Fanservice}}, and sometimes a ModestyBedsheet (or [[ToplessnessFromTheBack a woman lying on her front]]) can be employed if censorship is still necessary.

A lot of awkwardness may happen if a character sleeps this way have to share a bed but ThereIsOnlyOneBed. A ShamelessFanserviceGirl or someone with NoSenseOfPersonalSpace may not mind, but the other person surely will. Expect a BedmateReveal if someone who sleeps naked sneaks into another character's bed, intentionally or accidentally, with one of them usually freaking out and jumping to conclusions.

* Both versions of ''Anime/BubblegumCrisis'' show Sylia Stingray sleeping this way. The ModestyBedsheet does little to not bare the original incarnation's [[ShesGotLegs legs]] and {{shoulders|UpNudity}}. The ''2040'' incarnation is only shown doing this once, but it's [[CatapultNightmare waking up]] which allows her to show the same amount of skin nonetheless.

* In ''Kyou no Asuka Show'', Asuka is admonished by her father when he catches her sleeping naked during the winter.

** While trying to emulate UsefulNotes/ThomasEdison in "The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace," Homer decides to do this.

* All versions of ''Anime/BubblegumCrisis'' show Sylia Stingray sleeping this way. The original version is more blatant showing her bare [[ShesGotLegs legs]] and shoulders despite the ModestyBedsheet, whereas the remake only opts for ShouldersUpNudity.

* The sixth episode of ''Manga/FlameOfRecca'' has Yanagi Sakoshita this way due to her clothes being dry cleaned after the encounter in the previous episode. Notably, the original scene from the manga instead has Kaoru Koganei delivering her food instead of her freshly dried clothes.

* ''Literature/Wereling2009'' begins with protagonist Trey waking up in his trashed bedroom. [[NakedOnArrival He's naked]], which confuses him because he never follows this trope normally. As we soon learn, he had [[ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing his first transformation]] the previous night.
** In the third book he also climbs into bed naked after a transformation, but he's got too much on his mind to actually fall asleep.

* The title character in Sara Paretsky's V.I. Warshawski novels.

* [[MsFanservice Angela]] of ''Videogame/TrialsOfMana'' is strongly hinted to sleep in the nude when you visit the inn. In fact if she's not your main character, it's possible to stumble across her at the inn at Jigrad, where she'll call you a pervert if you disturb her when playing as any of the male characters).

* When Carrie goes to visit [[Creator/PatrickSwayze Dalton]] in his loft apartment in ''Film/RoadHouse'', she finds him sleeping nude and is all to happy to start EatingTheEyeCandy before he pulls on some jeans.

* The [[WerewolfWorks YA werewolf series]] by Steve Feasey, alternately titled ''Literature/{{Changeling}}'' or ''Literature/{{Wereling}},'' begins with protagonist Trey waking up in his trashed bedroom. [[NakedOnArrival He's naked]], but it's specifically noted that he doesn't normally follow this trope, hinting that [[ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing he had his first transformation the previous night]].

* ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife:'' {{Implied}} in one episode, where Heffer and Philbert get a video of Rocko half-asleep and [[HomeNudist wandering downstairs]] for a glass of milk in the nude. [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall Or wearing a censor bar]], depending on the joke.

** [[Comicbook/HumanTorch Johnny Storm]] sleeps in the nude, he claims due to heightened body temperature thanks to his fire powers. Peter discovers this when his letting Johnny crash at the Baxter Building (currently the home of Parker Industries) and finds Johnny asleep in his bed. And the only thing Johnny has to cover himself is Peter's [[HandOrObjectUnderwear pillow]]. Parker is definitely not amused.
** In ''[[ComicBook/DanSlottSpiderMan Amazing Spider-Man 2018]]'' #9, [[Comicbook/SpiderMan Peter]] is sleeping naked on his bed when he's woken by ComicBook/{{Silk}} who begins EatingTheEyeCandy, partially fueled by [[FantasticArousal the pheromones]] that make them attracted to each other.

* ''Comicbook/SupremePower'': Doc Spectrum's crystal once took control of him at night and had him confront one of his government superiors naked, because that's how he sleeps.

** In the third book he also climbs into bed naked after a transformation, but he's got too much on his mind to actually fall sleep.

[[folder:Web Comics]]

* ''ComicBook/{{Melusine}}'': In this French series, CuteWitch Mélusine always slept naked in the comic's early days; however during one of her first nights spent in the HauntedCastle, she finds out that several BedsheetGhosts like to haunt her bedroom — including one she is unwittingly using as bed sheet. Small wonder that, later in the series, she tends to wear a nightgown to bed... but she doesn't always.
