I find that one rule applies to sleeping; everybody looks like crap after a night's sleep. That's why the shower's there.

Deodorant before bed?

Since my back injury I've been doing the pillow between my legs thing. That generates a LOT of heat. That pillow should be condemned. However, I shall try your "crotchal suggestion" and let ya know how it goes. When I get around to buying baby powder or Gold Bond or something.
Excellent idea!
Is there someone else in the bed who cares how I smell? If yes: shower, deodorant, maybe even a spritz of cologne. If no: straight to sleep.
They sell hypoallergenic "memory foam" pillows for this purpose.
They don't retain that funk, and breather much better, so less funk.
If you're so inclined, a spritz of Febreze now and then.
I for one don't, I don't see how you arrived at this conclusion?
I don't go to bed to sweat my ass off and adjust coverings accordingly, and I use clean linens, so it's clean and it's comfortable.
I'd agree with you on the folks that go weeks at a time between re-dressing the bed though.

Something Borderline Offensive
I put on deodorant after a shower, and that's typically at night before bed. I kinda prefer it in the sense that it hopefully gives the scent time to mellow.
I do the same thing...
I ALWAYS shower before going to bed, i think going to bed without washing after a day of doing whatever it is you do is just wrong.
Because of that, i always put on deodorant before going to bed!
lol
Never take dirt to bed. The rule since I was a kid at home was a shower every night before bed.
Deodorant use is just an act of being mature and realizing that your funk (that you cannot smell) is offensive to others even if they don't say so.
Your signature scent should not be sweat and funky BO.

All joking aside, the main ingredient in most mainstream deodorants is aluminum silicate, which are microscopic bits of aluminum that actually clog your pours so you cannot sweat (or at least to limit the flow). This cannot be good while sleeping. If you don't want to smell before bed, just take a shower, and if so desired, powder up Tasty style. 
Deodorants and antiperspirants are different.
The aluminum silicate and aluminum chloride is in the antiperspirants, not the deodorants.

Try different deodorants for different types of days. In fact, I believe if you have like 3 different brands of deodorant, your body has a harder time getting used to one and you can smell fresher, longer, no matter which one you use.
Right before bed? Try one of the those gel-sticks that doesn't work that well in high-pressure situations, but evaporates quickly. Just something to keep you fresher in your PJ's.
Before you go out on a date? Some Old Spice that rolls on clear will do the trick. She'll ask what kind of cologne you have on.
Before you rock a big show? Some of that Speed Stick white stuff that works so well that you can feel it on your pits the next day when you shower. Just be careful when you put on your black-rock-tshirt not to get the dreaded "stick lines" on your shirt.
