Now that ‘working from home’ is a norm, the idea of dressing up for work has become fluid, if not completely non-existent. We wear home clothes, pyjamas, or whatever we’re most comfortable in at home.

Apparently, choosing to work in your pyjamas can have serious implications on not just productivity, but overall mental wellbeing as well.
