Public Service Announcement
This may come as a surprise to some, but "nightsuit" is not a real word. Just so you (people who use the word) know, when you say "nightsuit" people (who aren't accustomed to the word) think you wear some sort of formal attire to sleep. Proof (from dictionary.com):
I did a google search and found that there are entries for nightsuit/night suit, but none of them are reliable.
No entry found for nightsuit.

If it isn't a real word, then why does almost every household use it? Where do you suppose it was started from?
