We know you must be thinking, “How could this even be a question that we should be asking?”

One woman sparked a debate on TikTok when she said: "I need to know if people wear pyjamas, like, multiple nights in a row?"

Allison sparked this conversation that caused the internet to spiral.

Allison shares in the TikTok above: "When I was younger, my parents always made us wear pyjamas multiple nights in a row because they weren't dirty. And I still do that as an adult."

Users from around the world have begun to share their differences regarding changing their sleepwear

The amount of times you should be changing your sleepwear a week will vary from person to person depending on their personal hygiene, skin issues, body odour etc.

According to domestic queen, Martha Stewart, she absolutely suggests “you wash your pyjamas, nightgowns, underwear, whatever you sleep in, every day."

On the contrary, the American Cleaning Institute is a little more lenient with its suggestions, recommending that pyjamas are washed after three or four wears.
