Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Pray tell what is the purpose of a sleeping cap ?

Prevents nappy-hair, for your afro.

No ball on top, that's a Canuck thing.

They loves their toques.

Friggin dingly balls.

I want to know how you are getting all those nighttime pics of Wabi, there Slum

Might be my cousin Euell.

see the pinetree? Hint

They are edible you know.

Th9y ston-on w9x

When they were popular, nobody had decent heating that lasted all night.

Not Steve but hear ya on knit caps when it's 90 plus degrees, it's a thing with the black dudes down here, also see white boys acting like they black doing the same. They must think it makes them look cool lol.

exactly..........

Cold SOB in winter at high altitudes

How does one keep still enough while asleep to keep from knocking the dangly ball hat off his chrome dome and subsequently getting grease all over the pillow?

You sew on some pink ribbons to tie under your chin.

LOL, so are Grape Nuts, allegedly.

You do know who Billy is, dontcha?

Something to tickle the Mrs with?

.......Heard all those stories growing up. Like when my maternal grandfather was working the overnight shift as a fire fighter, and on cold winter nights my grandmother was the one who had to go down and shovel some more coal into the furnace after waking up cold. They had gas heat by the time I started playing in their basement but the old coal bin was still down there and still had coal in it. A lot of your body heat is lost through the skull in the cold and a sleeping cap helps negate some of that.

They started in old England where nobody had decent heat. They also invented bed curtains - those drapes all around the bed to help keep the heat in. England is a cold, damp, miserable place to live.

I started wearing my watch cap while sleeping in a bombed-out building in Afghanistan in the winter of 2010-2011. I liked it so much that I just kept doing it. Even after growing out my hair post-retirement, I still wear it every night.

Same thing as that patch of fluff on the back of a ski glove. Nose drizzle.

The ball is a device designed for snorers....to be stuffed firmly into the mouth by a frustrated partner when the racket becomes too much to bear.

Yes indeed. Those castles and huge manor houses with high ceilings, built of stone with no insulation were cold, dreary places, no matter the huge fireplaces they had to keep stoked in Fall, Winter, and Spring. Same in Europe, etc.

I do like good insulation and central heating furnaces.

L.W.

People still die every winter over there due to not being able to afford much heat in the winter. Living in a 300-year old home has it's downside.

I prefer the dingle ball.
