A nightshirt is a garment intended for wear while sleeping. It is somewhat longer than most regular shirts reaching down to the thighs or below the knees leaving some of the legs uncovered. It is generally loose-fitting to avoid restricting the wearer’s movement while sleeping.Until the 16th century men slept naked or in a day-shirt; subsequently a night-shirt varying in quality was worn in bed. Nobles in the 16th century wore embroidered shirts or wrought night-shirts.
