Today is National Pajama Day! Why not stay in your favorite sleep set all day long to celebrate. The day originated from a sleepwear brand’s early 2000s campaign around wearing pajamas to work after spending the night working on your taxes. Which is why it’s also known as Wear Your Pajamas to Work Day. But, make sure to check in with human resources before you pull up to the office ready for bed.
Also, depending on your local community, there are events held around the country that use National Pajama Day as a way to fundraise for children battling cancer. According to the American Childhood Cancer Organization, “Pajamas are the battle uniform for children with cancer.” So, by rocking your sleep set to an organized event, you get to be cozy while raising money for an important cause.
How Many Types of Pajamas Are There?
Generally speaking, there are seven types of pajama separates. There are pajama pants, shorts, tanks, short sleeve tops, long sleeve tops, robes, and nightgowns. Conveniently, pajama separates are often sold together, in pairs or trios, so that you can have a full sleep set. That is, unless you just wear a long nightgown to cover yourself in one piece.
