Underwear for new dads who are short on sleep

Short answer: When sleep is short, clothes have to keep up without you thinking about them. Choose soft underwear without coarse seams, a fit that sits calmly, and clothes that are easy to put on in the middle of the night.

When clothes need to be easy

With broken nights and early mornings there is no energy left to fight with your clothes. You put them on in the half dark, often in a hurry, and they simply have to sit well. That is why soft, simple underwear without scratchy labels and without tricks is a good idea when your strength is low.

Soft on the skin around the clock

When you walk around for many hours, and sometimes sleep in the same clothes, you feel the fabric all the time. Choose underwear with flat, soft seams and a fabric that feels pleasant against the skin. Feel the fabric before you decide, and take two or three pairs, so there is always a clean one.

A fit that stays put

Underwear that creeps up or squeezes becomes irritating when you do not feel like adjusting it. Choose a size that fits close without pressing, and a leg of a length that stays where it should. Walk, sit and bend in them, so you know the fit.

Layers to put on and take off

You are warm when you carry things around and walk back and forth, and cold when you stand still. A light layer next to the body makes it easy to regulate, without taking everything off. Look at the bamboo tank top for men, which can be worn alone at home or as the innermost layer under a jumper.

The undershirt under the day's clothes

A soft undershirt under a shirt or a sweater keeps the clothes away from the skin and is easy to change if something spills. Look at the bamboo undershirts for men, which fit close without pressing. That way you have a clean, dry shirt without changing the whole outfit.

Everyday clothes that take a lot

At home, clothes have to cope with being pulled, put on the floor and washed often. Choose a T-shirt that is soft and sits loosely on the body, so you have freedom of movement. Look at the bamboo T-shirts for men, and choose a size that does not squeeze over shoulders and stomach.

Small routines that help

Lay out a clean set of clothes the evening before, so you do not have to search in the dark. Keep a few extra pairs of underwear and a T-shirt in a drawer, so you can change quickly. Small routines like these save energy, and they make the busy mornings a little more manageable.

Washing and care

You will be washing often, so choose clothes that can handle it. Follow the care label, use a mild soap and skip fabric softener, which can leave a film on the fabric. Let the clothes dry completely, and replace a pair when the elastic has gone slack or the fabric has lost its shape.
