Put in a full day of effort while wearing your cosiest pyjamas; trust us, it’ll be worth it!

The background of National Pajama Day

The origin of the word pyjama is Persian, where it means “leg garment.” Appropriately, pyjamas originated in Southwest Asia, descended from the traditional drawstring trousers worn by natives of the region. As with many other cultural exports, pyjamas went global after British colonisers introduced them to the rest of the world in the 1800s.

Since then, pyjamas have become the most popular sleepwear garment in the world, and they are now available in a vast array of hues, shapes, and sizes. On National Pajama Day, you can wear any of these outfits to the office. National Pajama Day was inaugurated in 2004 by PajamaGram as a way to honour those of us who work late hours. PajamaGram is a brand that distributes sleepwear for all ages of men and women.

National Pajama Day was established solely for amusement. Those with high-pressure and serious occupations may benefit from the day’s relaxed and laid-back environment. Swapping your work attire for pyjamas can help alleviate some of the tension of your job and keep you comfortable throughout the day. National Pajama Day is not merely a day of frivolity, nor is it a meaningless holiday. There are numerous health benefits to donning pyjamas to the office. It has been demonstrated that employees who wear pyjamas to work are more productive and calm. Perhaps this is why so many businesses and organisations celebrate National Pajama Day with open arms.
