Is it OK to sleep shirtless in a hostel?

About the only rules in hostels. Definitely can sleep half naked, 11 months in south America and most of the boys just sleep in boxers or shorts, especially if it's hot. As a girl when im in really hot places I regularly sleep in just a big T-shirt and undies. As long as you are covered I think you are fine.
