Sandra Sandoval Reveals Why She Sleeps in a Nightgown, 'Half-Dressed'

Panamanian folk music icon Sandra Sandoval has once again charmed her followers with a candid and humorous revelation about her sleeping habits. In a recent Instagram post, Sandoval shared her peculiar yet practical reason for always sleeping in a nightgown, often described as 'half-dressed.' This endearing quirk, she admits with a laugh, stems from a desire for preparedness, particularly given her residence in a tall building. 'Just in case, you never know if you have to leave quickly,' she explained, highlighting a sense of self-reliance and a touch of old-fashioned caution.

For anything, you never know if you have to leave quickly, I live in a tall building.

Sandoval's nightgowns are not mere sleepwear; they are versatile garments that resemble small dresses, presentable enough to grab her purse and make a swift exit if needed. She playfully labels this habit 'old people's things,' yet confesses a bewilderment towards those who sleep with minimal or no clothing. For Sandoval, comfort and practicality are seamlessly intertwined with personal style. Her collection boasts over 20 nightgowns, many custom-made from fabrics acquired during her travels to New York, demonstrating her unique approach to fashion and everyday life. It's not uncommon for these garments to serve a dual purpose, accompanying her on errands as readily as they do for sleep.

Things of old people.

This authentic glimpse into Sandoval's life comes shortly after her vibrant 56th birthday celebration, 'Sandra Fest,' which captivated fans in Westland Mall and Chiriquí province. Her ability to connect with her audience on such a personal level, beyond the glitz of the stage, is a testament to her enduring appeal. As a cultural ambassador for Panamanian folk music, Sandoval's spontaneity and down-to-earth nature continue to resonate deeply, reinforcing her status as a beloved national treasure. Her willingness to share such everyday details underscores the unique cultural value placed on relatability and humor in Panama, distinguishing her connection with fans from the more distant celebrity personas often seen in international media.

If you see me on the street with this, I take a bath, put on the nightgown and go anywhere.
