While a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) can sleep dressed however they wish, endowed members who have been clothed with the Temple Garment are under covenant to wear the garment whenever possible. The official instruction given by the Church states:

"Church members who have been clothed with the garment in a temple have taken upon themselves a covenant obligation to wear it according to the instructions given in the endowment. The garment provides a constant reminder of the covenants made in a temple. When properly worn, it provides protection against temptation and evil. Wearing the garment is also an outward expression of an inward commitment to follow the Savior.

Endowed members should wear the temple garment both day and night. They should not remove it, either entirely or partially, to work in the yard or for other activities that can reasonably be done with the garment worn properly beneath the clothing. Nor should they remove it to lounge around the home in swimwear or immodest clothing. When they must remove the garment, such as for swimming, they should put it back on as soon as possible."

The instruction later states, "Members who have made covenants in the temple should be guided by the Holy Spirit to answer for themselves personal questions about wearing the garment."

(See Handbook 2 Section 21.1.42 Temple Clothing and Garments which can be accessed here: https://www.lds.org/handbook/handbook-2-administering-the-church/selected-church-policies?lang=eng) So, if a Mormon takes the covenants they have made with God seriously, they should be wearing the garment while sleeping. However, nobody but themselves, God, and perhaps their spouse will know if they don't.

How are Mormons supposed to procreate with special garments on at all times?

The same way people who wear underwear all the time do, they take them off. Yes, Mormons do it too. Although some have been known to attempt to do so while wearing garments, I believe it is not the mainstream practice. There are times when the more 'proper' thing to do is to remove the garment temporarily, such as in showering, swimming and competing athletically in public, etc.

Do the Mormons really wear magic underwear?

No, they do not. Mormons wear Temple Garments not magic underwear. There isn't one bit of magic to Temple Garments. Temple Garments are more like a physical reminder of covenants, or promises that Mormons make to God. They also provide protection. Although that depends on the wearer if they believe that claim is physical or spiritual or perhaps even both.

What were Mormons role in the gold rush?

The Mormons played quite a lage role in the gold rush. Their settlements in Utah served as a rest stop and trading post for those heading to California. Some historians have said that without the Mormons, the gold rush could not have been successful, and without the gold rush, the Mormons could not have been successful. The Mormons needed money and supplies from the east, and those heading to California needed food, supplies, and advice about living and traveling in the west. It was a welcome trade for both parties.
