I mean please. Literally the only thing I remember was the Matron telling me that she was not going to tell me how to wear my underwear and telling me how much she loved sister missionaries and loves being a mission mom. Yes, there was a lot of symbolic doctrine to take in, which we continually go back to relearn. The garment instructions are laid out first so it can be clearly listened to, but if you forget them they're in handbook 2 which was conveniently referenced by @zil, as I said earlier. And like @omegaseamaster75 said, now you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time I'll go to the handbook now that I have it, but I've just been surprised at the shaming attitudes people have on this site for lack of knowledge.

e-eye Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 I served my mission in Puerto Rico - had a missionary that would take off his garment top in his sleep because he was hot. He always felt guilty when he would wake up with it off. Eventually he got use to it - I thought it was kind of funny. You will get use to it - keep at it.

seashmore Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 From a practical perspective, I advise against sleeping nude. Should a house/apartment fire or other sudden emergency happen, I'm guessing you wouldn't want to waste precious time dressing. Any opinions on sleeping "Mormon naked" in just garments?

I keep a bathrobe on the door in case that happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are apparently some health benefits to sleeping in the buff, which is why I wondered, because I sleep in a room with no AC and used to do it all the time before my mission.

Have you considered asking your bishop? Ultimately, nobody is going to tell you you can't - You made a commitment and you have to decide the best way to live that commitment. Ultimately, none of us can tell you how to live up to the covenants you made or where you're at with those. Hope it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What health benefits? I have never been able to comfortably sleep naked. To me it seems a bit unsanitary. Your stuff is all over sheets without a layer between. I mean what if you bare-butt cut the cheese on your bed? Just seems like an accident waiting to happen. I don't know, I suppose if you enjoy it then by all means but I would be paranoid about legion attacking me while I slept XD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
