May one sleep in his clothing or should he wear pajamas according to Halacha?
Answer:
There is no Halachic obligation for one to wear pajamas at night, and hence he can choose to sleep with his clothing, even though this is not the normal way of the world [seemingly due to reasons of comfort]. Nonetheless, it is proper for one who slept in his clothing to change clothing upon awakening prior to saying the morning blessings in order so he can say the blessing of Malbish Arumim according to all opinions. [However, there is no problem to Daven in these clothing so long as they are kept clean.] Likewise, it is recorded in Sefarim that one should not sleep with his shoes on, and nor should he sleep with metal attached to him, such as a belt.
