At least 1,500 times I have gotten up in the morning with the urge to eat and go back to sleep. Each time I've had to put on my pants, shoes and other accessories only to go to a diner, eat and come back for sleep. My guess is I am not the only one with this problem. Unfortunately I could never go to a diner for breakfast in a bathrobe for fear of people’s hostile stares. This would not be the case if other people were in robes too. I wonder if a diner could market itself as allowing people to come in (for a few hours in the morning) dressed in a robe or pajama (making sure no one was exposing themselves). I could eat and catch up on sleep. I have seen diners with messages that say 'we don't allow smoking on Sundays from 6-9 PM' so this shouldn't be too much of a stretch.

       Why not just sleep in your clothes? Or better still how about a breakfast delivery service. Then you wouldn't have to go out at all.

       You need one of those new fangled "kitchen" things. Oh, and a mom.

       I did a quick google search for "restaurant wear pajamas" which returned numerous hits such as the link I've provided. So it seems the idea is Baked and all you have to do is make the effort to find a restaurant in your area. Many places seem to have the staff dressed in pjs so why couldn't/wouldn't you?

       My old corner shop was ok with me turning up in a dressing gown, I live next to a cafe now but I don't think I'd get away with it.

       Put this restaurant in a college town and you're rich!

       //dressed in a robe or pajama// and if you don't posses either, like me, can you still go in the nip? pedant sp "pajamas" is pyjamas

       It's a US/British English thing, [xenzag]... though in neither country are posses of pyjama-wearers a common sight. Sadly.

       These days, a lot of people wear those pj bottoms everywhere, anyway. (not me though) I would love to go places in my nightgown.

       I'd gladly become a druid/monk/wizard if it meant I could legitimately spend my days in a nice dressing gown. I'm quite partial to a toga too.

       Sorry, I just don't like it. I feel almost naked when I wear my pjs in public, and even stranger when I'm surrounded by others dressed in them and I'm the only one in normal clothing. I've never gone to a diner to eat, then come back to sleep. By the time I get back home, I'm wide awake. Now that's not to say everybody's like that, but there's no law saying you can't wear pajamas in public, as long as they're not too revealing.   

       // I wonder if a diner could market itself as allowing people to come in (for a few hours in the morning) dressed in a robe or pajama //   

       If your goal is simply marketing as pajama-friendly, you're talking, what, a sign outside and/or a one-line message on the phone line reminding people it's not illegal to do something? Doesn't seem to constitute an invention to me.
