what do you do with your nightclothes
Straight into the laundry, typically {Yes, every night new stuff. I have somehow managed to acquire a lot of pajamas and nighties}. Or onto the floor and later into the laundry. Occasionally folded up and tucked under the pillow [this is not how I was raised, this is something I picked up from books], or folded and left on the nightstand. Folded and into my luggage if I am Away, because I am all about making it appear that I am not actually there when I am staying in someone else's house or in a hotel.
Under the pillow is definitely Where Nightclothes Go.
I have never heard of this before. My nightclothes (when I wear them) are my slounging clothes, so they get folded up and put on top of the Slounging Pile in the morning.
bon, my sister in doing more laundry than we apparently have to.

Damn, now I want to do a poll of Where Are You From and Where Are Your Parents From and What Type of Family Did You Come From to see what's up with the nightclothes-under-the-pillow thing.
Also, I'm still sick, and I don't like it! I had a three-hour meeting in Manhattan, went grocery shopping, and I'm still too tired to want to cook dinner. "Luckily," there are pretzels within reach.
from the Wikipedia page on the Harlem Globetrotters:
The Globetrotters were initially a serious competitive team, and despite a flair for entertainment, they would only clown for the audience after establishing a safe lead in the game. In 1937, they accepted an invitation to participate in the World Professional Basketball Tournament, where they met the New York Rens in the semi-finals in the first big clash of the two greatest all-black professional basketball teams. The Rens defeated the Globetrotters and went on to win the Tournament, but in 1940 the Globetrotters avenged their loss by defeating the Rens in the quarterfinals and advancing to the championship game, where they beat the Chicago Bruins in overtime by a score of 37–36.
The Globetrotters beat the premier professional team, the Minneapolis Lakers (led by George Mikan), for two years in a row in 1948 and 1949, with the Lakers winning later contests. The February 1948 win (by a score of 61-59, on a buzzer beater) was a hallmark in professional basketball history, as the all-black Globetrotters proved they were on an equal footing with the all-white Lakers. Momentum for ending the National Basketball Association's color line grew, and in 1950, Chuck Cooper became the first black player drafted by an NBA team. From that time on the Globetrotters had increasing difficulty attracting and retaining top talent.
I also throw mine into the laundry and wear new stuff every night, but most of the time I just sleep in a t-shirt.

We toss our nighties in the laundry unless it's too hot to wear any.
whereas I can in the yoga pants/cami shelf-bra getup I'm used to.
I am looking at the pink with white polka dots "yoga" pants I am currently wearing and realizing that they fail the yoga pant test, which is being able to grab the mail or take out the trash in them. They may technically be lounge pants but they scream "twelve-year-old girl on her first sleepover" which isn't the image I want neighbors having of me.
I fold my nightclothes at the foot of the bed, usually.

Yeah! And I wear stuff all the time that hasn't been washed.

Yeah, I was thinking it might be European influence in mine and ita's cases.
