I have to wear a long sleeved shirt (a very soft cotton long sleeved T) because I can't stand to breathe on my arm. If I can feel my breath on my arm I can't sleep. I also can't sleep with a fan because it's "breathing" on me big time!
I was told this is another example of extreme skin sensitivity associated with AS (AS can cause high sensitivity or just the opposite), like the need to cut off the tags on clothing or finding a bra extremely uncomfortable.

Most, if not all of my shirts are tagless. That is something I have come to love in the last few years when they became popular.
I have been sleeping with long-sleeved cotton tagless shirts, sweatpants and diapers and almost always socks. There are some nights where it gets too hot that I would have to strip down to just a t-shirt (short-sleeved) and the diapers. However, that rarely happens due to having a fan in the room to keep cool air in circulation within the bedroom to prevent the air from getting hot enough under the comforters.

I wear casual daytime clothes...like soccer shorts and a t-shirt. The cute little pajama sets they sell for girls just aren't comfy Sometimes I'll wear PJ pants if it's cold, but it rarely is here.

Whatever is on me at the time, more or less depending on the air temperature. Any change that falls out of my pockets and sticks to my back, yeah I wear that as well.
I kind of collect pajamas. I love to wear pajamas. I'm the only one in the house who has any pajamas.

I wear sweats in the winter, and some PJ shorts and tank top in the summer. If there's a heatwave where it's still hot at night, I wear nothing.
