[0034] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following drawings, for the sake of simplicity, the same reference numerals are sometimes used to denote components or parts that perform the same function, and repeated descriptions are omitted or simplified. Furthermore, the dimensional relationships (length, width, thickness, etc.) in the drawings may not always accurately reflect the actual dimensional relationships. However, there are cases where the dimensional relationships are consistent in the specified drawings; in such cases, six-view drawings can be derived from the dimensional and positional relationships of each drawing. Additionally, since pajamas are clothing, the thickness is often negligible in the six-view drawings.

[0035] Furthermore, matters other than those specifically mentioned in this specification and necessary for carrying out the invention are to be understood as matters designed by those skilled in the art based on prior art. The invention can be implemented based on the disclosures in this specification and drawings, and common technical knowledge in the art. Moreover, the invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0036] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The front and rear views of the pajamas 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, when unfolded, are shown respectively. Furthermore, Figure 3 and Figure 4 A front side perspective view (perspective view) and a back side perspective view (perspective view) of the pajamas 100 of this embodiment are shown respectively.

[0037] The pajamas 100 of this embodiment are pajamas (clothes, garments) that cover the upper and lower body of the wearer. The pajamas of this embodiment are basically worn when sleeping (lying down), but can also be used as casual indoor clothing (homewear). The pajamas 100 of this embodiment are composed of an upper body main body 10 worn on the upper body and a lower body main body 20 worn on the lower body.

[0038] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The upper body portion 10 shown is a shirt type, but it can also be a sweatshirt type or a T-shirt (including long T-shirts). The upper body portion 10 shown is composed of a front (front fabric) 11 and a back (back fabric) 19. The upper body portion 10 (shirt) has a collar 13 around the neck, sleeves 12 at the hands, and a clasp (button) 16 at the point where the front (front fabric) 11 meets. In addition, the lower end 17 of the upper body portion 10 (shirt) shown is formed vertically (horizontally when standing).

[0039] The lower body main body 20 consists of an upper hip section 22 that houses the waist and a lower hip section 21 into which the legs extend. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the back side (back) 25 of the upper hip 22 accommodates the buttocks.

[0040] In this embodiment, a muscle located along the tensor fasciae latae (see reference) is formed in the lower body body 20. Figure 7 The first lower body pattern portion 51 is located at the position of "81" (referring to the "81" in the original text). Furthermore, a pattern is formed on the lower body main body portion 20 along the semitendinosus and semimembranosus muscles (see reference 81). Figure 8 The second lower body pattern portion 52 is located at least one of the portions of "85" and "86". Specifically, the first lower body pattern portion 51 is symmetrically provided on the outer side (outer side of the front side) of the crotch portion 21 of the lower body main body 20. In addition, the second lower body pattern portion 52 is symmetrically provided on the inner side (inner side of the front side) of the crotch portion 21 of the lower body main body 20.

[0041] Furthermore, an S-shaped (approximately S-shaped) upper body pattern portion 55 is formed on the back side 19 of the upper body main body portion 10. In this embodiment, the upper body pattern portion 55 is composed of a first back pattern 55a, a second back pattern 55b, and a third back pattern 55c. The first back pattern 55a is a pattern portion (elongated portion) extending from the upper right to the lower left, starting from the right side (starting point 70) of the upper back (near the collar 13). The second back pattern 55b is a pattern portion (elongated portion) extending from the lower left to the lower right, starting from the lower end 71 of the first back pattern 55a. The third back pattern 55c is a pattern portion (elongated portion) extending from the upper right to the lower left, starting from the lower end 72 of the second back pattern 55b. In this embodiment, the third angle (θ3) of the third back pattern 55c extending from the upper right to the lower left is 45° (or approximately 45°, for example, 45° (±5°)) based on the horizontal line (L). The horizontal line (L) mentioned here refers to the direction perpendicular to the vertical when standing while wearing pajamas 100. Furthermore, the upper body pattern sections 55 (55a, 55b, 55c), the first lower body pattern section 51, and the second lower body pattern section 52 are sometimes referred to as pajama pattern sections (or pattern sections) 50. The reason the third back pattern 55c extends at a 45° angle is because vibrations (waves) within the body diffuse at a 45° angle (45 degrees) centered on the liver; therefore, 45° is chosen.

[0042] In this embodiment, pattern 50 is configured such that the total length of the second back pattern 55b is longer than the total length of the first back pattern 55a. Pattern 50 is configured such that the total length of the third back pattern 55c is longer than the total length of the second back pattern 55b. Furthermore, with the horizontal line (L) as a reference, the first angle (θ1) of the first back pattern 55a extending from the upper right to the lower left is smaller than the third angle (approximately 45°), for example, 15° to 30° (in one example, 20° (±5°)). Also, with the horizontal line (L) as a reference, the second angle (θ2) of the second back pattern 55b extending from the upper right to the lower left is smaller than the third angle (approximately 45°), for example, 15° to 30° (in one example, 20° (±5°)). The reason why the angle θ1 of the first back pattern 55a and the angle θ2 of the second back pattern 55b are smaller than the angle θ3 is that this allows the pattern (50) to be compactly accommodated in the pajamas 100. In addition, the reason for this angle and configuration is that the vibration ripples are transmitted along the muscles, so it is designed to release from the left shoulder along the trapezius muscle.

[0043] In this embodiment, the lower end (end point) 72 of the second back pattern 55b is further outward than the starting point 70 of the first back pattern 55a. Furthermore, the lower end (end point) 73 of the third back pattern 55c is further outward than the lower end (end point) 71 of the first back pattern 55a. The lower end (end point) 73 of the third back pattern 55c does not extend to the lower end 17 of the upper body main body 10 (shirt), but rather falls within the area of ​​the back 19 of the upper body main body 10. Moreover, in this embodiment, the upper body pattern portion 55 (approximately S-shaped pattern: 55a-55c) crosses the erector spinae muscle (see...). Figure 9 The upper body pattern 55 (approximately S-shaped pattern: 55a-55c) extends from top to bottom in a zigzag pattern from right to left and from left to right. The upper body pattern 55 (approximately S-shaped pattern: 55a-55c) can also be reversed (inverted S-shaped pattern), but considering the position of internal organs, the shape of the upper body pattern 55 (S-shaped pattern: 55a-55c) shown in the figure is preferred.

[0044] If the pajamas 100 of this embodiment are actually worn, then it becomes as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 4 The three-dimensional structure shown. In other words, if referring to... Figure 3 and Figure 4 Then one can imagine the user (wearer) actually wearing pajamas 100.

[0045] Since the human body (skeleton and muscles) is basically bilaterally symmetrical, the first lower body pattern section 51 and the second lower body pattern section 52 are respectively configured in a bilaterally symmetrical shape. However, in reality, the function of muscles differs on the right and left sides (for example, a right-handed person uses their right hand to throw, etc., so the muscles on the right side are more developed). Based on this, the pattern can also be formed in a bilaterally asymmetrical manner along the muscle direction on the right and left sides, depending on each individual's situation (customization). Furthermore, when it is desired to configure the pattern as asymmetrical not due to differences in the position of the left and right muscles (minor differences between individuals) but for design requirements or other reasons, the pattern can be modified within the scope of the function of the first lower body pattern section 51 and the second lower body pattern section 52 in this embodiment.

[0046] In this embodiment, the width of the first lower body pattern portion 51 and the width of the second lower body pattern portion 52 are, for example, 30 mm or less (in the illustrated example, for example, about 25 mm ± 5 mm or 10 mm to 30 mm). However, the width of the first lower body pattern portion 51 and the width of the second lower body pattern portion 52 are not limited to 30 mm or less. They can exceed 30 mm as long as they are effective. Moreover, the lower limit of the width of the first lower body pattern portion 51 and the width of the second lower body pattern portion 52 can be lower than 25 mm ± 5 mm or 10 mm.

[0047] Furthermore, the widths of the first back pattern 55a, the second back pattern 55b, and the third back pattern 55c of the upper body pattern portion 55 constituting the S-shape (approximately S-shaped) of this embodiment are, for example, 60 mm or less (in the illustrated example, for example, 50 mm ± 5 mm or about 20 mm to 60 mm). However, the width of the upper body pattern portion 55 (55a to 55c) is not limited to 60 mm or less; it can exceed 60 mm as long as it achieves the desired effect. Moreover, the lower limit of the width of the upper body pattern portion 55 (55a to 55c) can be less than 50 mm ± 5 mm or 20 mm.

[0048] The material constituting the sleepwear 100 of this embodiment is typically a fabric used for clothing (especially a fabric suitable for sleepwear), which has elasticity suitable for clothing (sleepwear). Furthermore, elasticity here refers to a characteristic suitable for clothing, and does not specifically require the resilience of materials like rubber (elastomers). Examples of materials (fabrics) constituting the main body 10 of the sleepwear include: synthetic fiber materials (e.g., nylon, polyurethane, etc.), natural fiber materials (e.g., cotton, silk, etc.), blended synthetic fiber materials (e.g., a blend of nylon and polyurethane, etc.), or blends of natural and synthetic fiber materials (e.g., a blend of cotton and polyurethane, etc.), or multiple blends (e.g., natural fiber material (cotton, etc.) / nylon / polyurethane material, rayon material / acrylic material / polyester material, acrylic material / polyester material / rayon material / polyurethane material, etc.).

[0049] In this embodiment, the patterned portions 50 of the pajama 100 (i.e., patterns 51, 52, 55 (55a-55c)) are made of a strip material. The first lower body patterned portion 51, the second lower body patterned portion 52, and the upper body patterned portion 55 (55a-55c) made of the strip material stimulate relevant muscle areas of the pajama 100 (i.e., such as...). Figures 7 to 9 The tensor fasciae latae (81), semitendinosus (85), semimembranosus (86), and erector spinae (90 (91-93)) shown are activated, thereby having a positive effect on the body. The upper body pattern 55 (55a-55c) can be constructed from a single strip. The curved portion of the S-shaped structure can be a folded-up state of this single strip. If the upper body pattern 55 (55a-55c) is constructed with a folded-up strip, the overlapping portion becomes the area of ​​two strips, thus providing greater stimulation to the relevant areas.

[0050] In one example of this embodiment, the pajama pattern portion 50 (51, 52, 55) is constructed by attaching a strip to the inner lining (the side not exposed, the side facing the body) of the pajama body portion (10, 20). Alternatively, the pajama pattern portion 50 (51, 52, 55) can also be constructed by attaching the strip to the surface (the exposed surface) of the pajama body portion (10, 20). Furthermore, the pajama pattern portion 50 (51, 52, 55) can also be constructed by attaching the strip to both the surface and the inner lining of the pajama body portion 10.

[0051] Alternatively, the strips constituting the pattern sections 50 (51, 52, 55) of the pajama can be made of fabric (here, cotton (e.g., 40-count cotton)). A heat-sensitive adhesive (or ironing adhesive) is pre-applied to the fabric surface (here, the inner surface) of the pajama body sections (10, 20) that contacts (fixes, bonds) the fabric. Heating with a heater (here, an iron) allows the strips to adhere (bond) to the pajama body sections 10, 20. In this case, the presence of the fabric (contact surface, cotton) can indirectly irritate the skin. Alternatively, the strips can be sewn onto the pajama body sections 10, 20 so that they do not fall off or shift even after washing. In this case, it is more convenient to first use an iron to bond and then sew them together.

[0052] Furthermore, in a variation of this embodiment, the pajama pattern portions 50 (51, 52, 55) are composed of an ink-printed pattern formed by printing with ink. That is, in this case, the pajama pattern portions 50 (51, 52, 55) are formed by printing, rather than by the aforementioned strip material. In a preferred embodiment, the ink-printed pattern constituting the pajama pattern portions 50 (51, 52, 55) is formed by screen printing.

[0053] Screen printing (also known as stencil printing or silkscreen printing) is a type of stencil printing where holes are made in a mesh screen, and ink drips only onto the holes for printing. It originated from the past use of silk (silk) for printing plates, but nowadays, due to durability issues, silk is no longer used for mesh screens. Instead, synthetic fiber fabrics such as polyester or nylon (and sometimes metal) are used as the material for the mesh. In screen printing, the prepared screen is tightly fitted to the fabric of a shirt (in this case, cotton). Ink is placed on the screen, and then a squeegee is pressed firmly against it and moved along a fixed direction across the entire surface of the screen (or the designated area to be printed). This forces the ink through the mesh holes onto the fabric, thus performing the printing. Furthermore, because screen printing is a relatively common and not specialized technique for printing on clothing, it offers high technical stability and reduces manufacturing costs.

[0054] In screen printing, plastisol inks and water-based inks are examples of inks used for printing pajamas. Plastisol inks are mostly used in factories that produce large batches (over 300 pieces), while water-based inks are mostly used in medium-sized factories (around 50 pieces). Furthermore, although screen printing is used in the clothing (pajamas 100) of this embodiment, other printing methods (e.g., inkjet direct printing) can be used as long as the effect of the clothing (pajamas 100) of this embodiment can be achieved.

[0055] Furthermore, the printing ink of this embodiment (ink for printing pajamas) contains minerals (powder). In one example, the printing ink of this embodiment is adjusted to a concentration of 0.1g to 0.5g of each mineral (in one example, one, two, or three) with a particle size of 325 mesh (approximately 44 micrometers) (so-called energy minerals (e.g., radium ore, germanium, crystal, terahertz ore, tourmaline, etc.) or a mixture of multiple minerals) per 500 square centimeters of ink. Furthermore, 500 square centimeters of ink is the area equivalent to the printing area of ​​one pair of pajamas. It should be noted that this concentration is an example and can be appropriately changed and adjusted to a suitable concentration depending on the conditions of use. Additionally, additives other than minerals (powder) may be added. As the mineral powder, powder (or a mixture of two or more mineral powders) selected from at least one mineral chosen from radium ore, germanium, crystal, terahertz ore, and tourmaline can be used. Furthermore, it is also preferable that such mineral powder is included in the strip material constituting the above-mentioned pajama pattern portion 50 (51, 52, 55).

[0056] Figure 5 and Figure 6 This indicates the location of the minerals in the pajamas 100 of this embodiment. When the patterned portion 50 of the pajamas (i.e., patterns 51, 52, 55 (55a to 55c)) is constructed from a strip, the corresponding muscles are easily stimulated and activated under the stimulation of its tension intensity. On the other hand, when the patterned portion 50 of the pajamas (i.e., patterns 51, 52, 55 (55a to 55c)) is constructed from an ink-printed pattern, the stimulation from tension, etc., is weaker than that from a strip, so it is preferable to pre-contain minerals. When the patterned portion 50 of the pajamas (i.e., patterns 51, 52, 55 (55a to 55c)) is constructed from a strip, the possibility of obtaining better results is increased if minerals are pre-contained.

[0057] Next, refer to Figures 7 to 9 The specified muscles are described. Figure 7 The muscles on the side of the leg are shown, specifically the tensor fasciae latae (81) which is located in the first lower body pattern section 51. The iliotibial band (82) and gluteus maximus (83) are located around the tensor fasciae latae (81). By stimulating the muscles of the tensor fasciae latae (81) through the first lower body pattern section 51 of this embodiment, symptoms such as cold hands and feet, fever, and sweating can be relieved. To further explain, the first lower body pattern section 51 is configured for the tensor fasciae latae (81), which corresponds to the reflex stagnation (heat) mentioned in Eastern medicine. In addition, cold hands and feet, fever, and sweating are the most common symptoms that occur during sleep, which are problems of the autonomic nervous system. Therefore, the reaction in this part is an abnormality of cold and heat in the skin. Since the skin is a mirror of the internal organs, if the abnormal cold and heat stagnation is adjusted, the five internal organs will be harmonized, and the body condition will also improve.

[0058] Figure 8 The muscles on the front side of the leg are shown, specifically the "semitendinosus" (85) and "semimembranosus" (86) which are located in the second lower body pattern section 52. The long head (87) and short head (88) of the biceps femoris are located around the semitendinosus (85) and semimembranosus (86). By stimulating the muscles of the semitendinosus (85) and semimembranosus (86) through the second lower body pattern section 52 of this embodiment, the hypertension reflex zone described in Eastern medicine can be adjusted. To further explain, people with hypertension often have abnormal heat sensitivity; therefore, by stimulating the second lower body pattern section 52, the level of nitric oxide in the blood can be adjusted, thereby improving hypertension. In addition, although people without hypertension do not have abnormal heat sensitivity, they can physiologically achieve the effect of improved blood flow.

[0059] Figure 9 The muscles on the back are shown, specifically the erector spinae (90), with the upper body pattern sections 55 (55a, 55b, 55c) positioned across the erector spinae (90). The erector spinae (90) is a collective term for the spinae (91), longissimus (92), and iliocostalis (93). The trapezius (94) and latissimus dorsi (95) are located around the erector spinae (90). In this embodiment, the upper body pattern sections 55 (55a, 55b, 55c) are actually difficult to stimulate the erector spinae (90) muscles (91, 92, 93) during sleep. That is, since pajamas are basically worn while sleeping, muscle stimulation is difficult. To further explain, since there is almost no muscle movement during sleep, the upper body pattern sections 55 (55a, 55b, 55c) are more likely not to conform to the corresponding muscles. In a sleeping state, the shape and function of muscles are completely different from when standing. Therefore, the method for sleeping is not aimed at muscles, but rather at calculating the ratio of gravity relative to the horizontal plane, sagittal plane, and frontal plane when standing and sleeping, and determining the pattern configuration (roughly S-shaped) of the upper body pattern section 55 (55a, 55b, 55c) based on this. To further explain, the upper body pattern section 55 (55a, 55b, 55c) has the function of adjusting the physiological curvature of the vertebrae, and from a muscular point of view, it seeks to stabilize the erector spinae muscles (90).

[0060] Figure 10 (a) and (b) in the diagram are used to illustrate the front and back areas of the body, respectively.

[0061] When the human body is standing, gravity is applied from the top of the head. At this time, the horizontal plane bears the weight, determined by the ideal skeletal structure and the ratio of the frontal plane (front to back) and sagittal plane (left to right). However, during sleep, the frontal plane becomes horizontal and bears all the weight (provided the person is sleeping in a supine position). Therefore, muscle fatigue from standing activities can be detected in a supine, static position, revealing fatigue points common to all body types.

[0062] The upper body pattern portion 55 in this embodiment can... Figure 10 C2 to C3 in (b) Figure 10 C7~T2 in (a) Figure 10 In (b) T9~T12, Figure 10 The L4-L5 points in (a) provide relief; specifically, they adjust the erector spinae muscles. This allows the upper body pattern sections 55 (55a, 55b, 55c) to... Figure 10 Starting from the reflex lag (reflexive tension band) of the trapezius muscles C2-C3 in (b), the path extends along the left inner border of the scapula (T2-T3) → near the posterior aspect of the right liver (T9-T12) → left lumbar region (L4-L5). Bending a band to create an overlapping point is more effective. In a standing position, gravity (G) from above applies significant pressure. Of course, compressive fatigue acts on muscles, ligaments, and joints, causing skeletal deformities. When in a supine position, common fatigue points can be detected regardless of the type of deformed muscle fatigue in any body type. Moreover, if this point is relaxed in a supine position, the erector spinae muscles recover from fatigue, thus making it easier to withstand compressive muscle fatigue in a standing position.

[0063] In the pajamas 100 of this embodiment, a first lower body pattern portion 51 and a second lower body pattern portion 52 are formed on the lower body main body portion 20. The first lower body pattern portion 51 is located along the tensor fasciae latae (81), and the second lower body pattern portion 52 is located along at least one of the semitendinosus muscle (85) and the semimembranosus muscle (86). Furthermore, an S-shaped upper body pattern portion 55, consisting of a first back pattern 55a, a second back pattern 55b, and a third back pattern 55c, is formed on the back side 19 of the upper body main body portion 10. Therefore, it is possible to achieve pajamas that have beneficial effects on the body during sleep (e.g., when lying on one's back) (e.g., reducing or relieving fatigue, increasing anti-fatigue ability, etc.).

[0064] Furthermore, taping, which involves directly applying tape to the body, is frequently used by athletes to protect muscles. However, the technique of this embodiment employs a weaker stimulus compared to the strong stimulation of directly applying tape, making it a non-contact, indirect taping method. Moreover, even with this weak stimulus, it can effectively stimulate specific areas in biological phenomena to enhance athletic performance. That is, (the body is a collection of sophisticated sensors) as long as there is a trigger for stimulation, even a slight difference in characteristics due to the presence or absence of the pajama pattern section 50 can achieve effects such as fatigue relief. Furthermore, just as acupuncture or needles applied to the head can affect the body, the pajama 100 of this embodiment can alleviate fatigue or enhance fatigue resistance simply by being worn. Furthermore, it is speculated that the pajama pattern section 50 contains minerals, and the effects of these minerals (e.g., negative ions, terahertz waves, static electricity, far-infrared rays, low-dose stimulation effects, etc.) may act as a stimulus, thus potentially contributing to the effects of the pajama 100 of this embodiment.

[0065] Furthermore, when constructing the (roughly) S-shaped upper body pattern 55 by bending a strip of material, there are multiple points where the front and back of the strip overlap. These overlapping portions can also serve as a stimulus to the body. In particular, when the pattern 50 (strip) contains minerals, mineral vibrations (waves) flow within the pattern 50, and weak electrical currents also flow within it, thus creating a magnetic field. At the point of reversal (the overlapping portion of the front and back of the strip), the mineral vibrations are amplified (forming ripples (waves, oscillations)), and the vibrations are transmitted to the pattern 50 (strip), making this preferable. Moreover, while vibrations are influenced by airflow and magnetic fields externally, they flow along the meridians (muscle pathways through which energy flows) internally; therefore, this phenomenon is utilized here.

[0066] Figure 11 and Figure 12 This is a diagram illustrating the manufacturing process of the pajamas 100 according to this embodiment.

[0067] Figure 11This diagram shows the creation of upper body pattern sections 55 (55a, 55b, 55c) on the laid-out upper body main body section 10. For example, the width of the upper body pattern section 55 is 5cm (with a ±10% error). The starting point S is located at the collar of the center line C of the upper body main body section (shirt) 10. The starting point (point) 70 (the end position at the exact center of the pattern width) is located 4cm directly below (H1) and 9cm to the right (W1) from the starting point S. Point 71 is located 10.5cm directly below (H2) and 12cm to the left (W2) from the starting point S. Point 72 is located 19cm directly below (H3) and 15cm to the right (W3) from the starting point S. Point 73 is located 57cm directly below (H4) and 18cm to the left (W4) from the starting point S. Furthermore, the size or shape may be appropriately chosen to correspond to the actual required characteristics or design.

[0068] Figure 12 This illustration shows the fabrication of a first lower body pattern section 51 and a second lower body pattern section 52 on a laid-out lower body main body section 20. For example, the dimensions (within ±10% tolerance) are shown, with the width of the first lower body pattern section 51 and the width of the second lower body pattern section 52 both being 2.5 cm. The starting point S is located above the center line C of the lower body main body section (trousers) 20 after the elastic band has been removed. The upper end point of the first lower body pattern section 51 is located 12 cm downward (H5) and 20 cm laterally (W5) from the starting point S. The upper end point of the second lower body pattern section 52 is located 24 cm downward (H6) and 5 cm laterally (W6) from the starting point S. Furthermore, appropriate dimensions or shapes may be adopted to correspond to the actual required characteristics or design.

[0069] <Example>

[0070] Next, the effects of the embodiment (effect test) when wearing the pajamas 100 of this embodiment will be specifically explained. Figure 13 The experimental results are shown when wearing Pajama 100. Evaluations were conducted while wearing Pajama 100 based on criteria such as "easy to fall asleep," "feeling warm," "comfortable to wear," "feeling refreshed upon waking," and "feeling alert upon waking." While it's ideal to evaluate movement characteristics numerically, subjective evaluations (e.g., a 1cm improvement in softness) are more valuable than numerical values ​​when assessing the wearing effect of Pajama 100, hence this experiment.

[0071] In each category, "strongly agree" was scored as 5 points, "agree" as 4 points, "no opinion" as 3 points, "disagree" as 2 points, and "completely disagree" as 1 point. The experiment was conducted on subjects A to J.

[0072] The experimental results, on average, showed that "easy to fall asleep" scored 4.5 points, "feeling warm" scored 4.3 points, "comfortable to wear" scored 4.5 points, "feeling relaxed upon waking" scored 4.2 points, and "feeling refreshed upon waking" scored 4.0 points. All items received a rating of "agree" (4 points) or higher. Based on the results of this embodiment, the effectiveness of the pajamas 100 of this embodiment can be confirmed.

[0073] The present invention has been described above through preferred embodiments, but such description is not limiting and various changes are possible. The configurations or methods of the above embodiments or variations are applicable to each other. The pajamas 100 of this embodiment are intended for use during sleep (including naps), but can also be used when hospitalized or lying in bed for care. In addition, in the configuration of this embodiment, the upper body pattern portion 55 is (approximately) S-shaped, but this is for convenience and other representations may be used. Furthermore, it is clearly described as "starting from the bottom," such as "starting from the lower end 71 of the first back pattern 55a, extending from the upper left to the lower right of the second back pattern 55," but it may not start strictly from the bottom and may have a slightly extended portion. In addition, in this embodiment, the upper body main body portion 10 and the lower body main body portion 20 of this embodiment are described as a set, but they may also be used separately as the upper body main body portion 10 (e.g., shirt, T-shirt, sports top, hoodie, etc.) and the lower body main body portion 20 (trousers, sports pants, etc.). Furthermore, it is not prohibited to create a one-piece garment, such as a bodysuit.
