Psychologists say choice of sleepwear says a lot about an individual's personality.
The findings suggest naked sleepers are more likely to be at a stage of 'contentment' with their life, while 'ambitious' personalities tend to opt for silky or satin styles. 'Organized' people opt for buttoned pajamas while wearing a gown to bed can indicate that you 'lack confidence in your personal life.'
