Basketball shorts are my normal attire. I’ve also been a caregiver for many years for my mom, and I can assure you, in an urgent situation, I can have the shorts on before I stand. I’m a pro at wake up, reach down and grab, and slide my legs into them as I’m standing. It literally takes no more time for me than it would to walk out of my room naked. They sit directly on top of my flip flops that I also slide into as I stand up. Shirts take more time, but that’s less important for me as a guy (still pretty important as a fat guy that hates being shirtless beyond what I can even explain).
That said, not everyone is such a seasoned professional. Robe is probably the better call. I’d wear a robe more often if I could find one that wasn’t so hot, I can only handle them in deepest of winter
It’s not totally unheard of. Firefighters do it. I imagine back in the day when doctors lived at hospitals (does this still happen?) they did it, too. People who do live in caregiving often practice waking up routines in case of emergency.

I now imagine people training wake up.
