As a rule, I never go to sleep with a loaded "gun."
Oh wait, you meant like a defensive firearm, right? In that case, it's in a quick-access lockbox (Fort Knox pistol box) next to my bed, within easy reach and always in Condition 0.

Read something in a novel once about how fighting in general, and gun fighting in specific, is terribly more difficult naked than clothed.
Although I generally sleep with clothes on, even if I didn't I'd be a lot more concerned about neutralizing any threats than what I'm wearing (or not wearing). Well, it would be fair to say that I'm "naked" without my gun, so in that sense I think you have a point.

But how could you know in advance how you'd react? Say the break-in happens an hour after you make nookie with your spouse/partner and you're still in that state of post-coital connubial bliss, and wearing only your birthday suit?
It wouldn't matter--if there's a real emergency, then modesty counts for nothing. In the various emergencies I've faced in my life, I've managed to "tune out" virtually all distractions, so I'm reasonably sure that the same would hold true if I happened to be in the buff. In fact, I might not even notice unless I needed a pocket or something.

Maybe the next trendy niche business is nudist combat ranges... Of course, then where would the customers wear their holsters?
Maybe nudist shooters could pretend that they have a small-of-the-back holster, and then just go a bit lower.
Oh come on, like this thread hadn't already been long since derailed (apologies only to the OP)!
