I often noticed that when I sleep wearing a shirt and pants, in the morning, I find my shirt riding up to my chest and my pant riding up to my knee.

This is a very common problem that everyone faces in their day-to-day life. At night when we sleep, our body parts move to get the most comfortable position to sleep well.

Due to these body movements the shirt and pant do not stay their place and ride up from their initial position.

And sleeping wearing a shirt and pants is not the right way to get a good sleep.
