I have never been kilted as an in patient but have been as an out patient many times.

I have not been an inpatient yet, but if I were, and at my age, I probably shall be ere long!), I'd undoubtedly wear what I wear at night now -- pyjama shorts with the inseam cut out and stitched up as a s****.
A full kilt woud be a bit too much.

I've slept in a couple of my kilts repeatedly, and was quite comfortable, of course they were Utilikilt's spartan model, which also have an extra piece of materiel under the "apron" which I've been assuming is so you can tuck it under the waistband at the back so as to provide a bit of modesty when engaged in physical activity.

As you say being an in patient at a hospital a kilt wouldn't be very practical for wearing 24 hours a day. Getting in and out of bed would be a factor and hospitals are always very hot so shorts sounds like a good option. While wearing a kilt to go visiting at hospitals, I've often encountered kilted men sitting in wheelchairs in the grounds, sometimes being pushed by an able bodied relative or nurse, so it seems that at least in Scotland here, it is relatively common for patients to take a kilt along with them to hospital for wearing for a few hours during the day to get out of the ward. A kilt would be easier for a patient to strap on rather than trying to pull on a pair of long trousers.
