The Life-Changing Benefits Of Sleeping Naked
Imagine being able to sleep better, feel cooler, and feel closer to your partner. Imagine having clear, healthy skin, all from doing one simple action every night before you go to bed: taking off all your clothes (yup, even your underwear).
Sound too good to be true? It’s totally not. Sleeping in the buff is not just a great way to save yourself from having to decide which set of pajamas you’re going to bed on a given night. It also comes with a host of other benefits that will have you jumping out of your underwear and into bed for the best sleep of your life.
Below, we listed some of the benefits of sleeping naked to show you that it’s the best thing since sliced bread.
1.Helps You Stay Cool
Lots of people get too hot at night, especially women going through menopause or people who live in a hot climate. Stripping down before you go to bed will help your body breathe and cool down. i
2. Helps You Fall Asleep Faster (And Stay Asleep)
When you go to bed without any clothes on, you’re eliminating a fabric layer that may impede your body from getting cool enough to fall asleep. Experts say that if you’re too hot or too cold, you’ll have a hard time falling asleep, but on the other hand, as you start your nightly sleep cycle your body slowly decreases in temperature. This decrease in temperature helps you go to sleep and stay asleep throughout the night. Ditching the pj’s and underwear for bed can help you reach that ideal state quicker.
3. Helps You Feel Closer To Your Partner
In a 2015 article, experts reveal that skin-to-skin contact - such as the kind you get when you sleep naked next to someone else - releases oxytocin in the body. Oxytocin is a hormone that induces a sense of well-being and less stress in the human body. If you feel like your relationship needs a little livening up or you just want to feel closer to your partner, go to bed without any clothes on and enjoy snuggling up to your loved one, completely nude.
4. Helps You Feel Less Stressed
According to “nude expert” Charlie Howes of Nude Life, sleeping naked can help correct the imbalance of cortisolin your body. Cortisol is a stress hormone that, when left unchecked, may leave you feeling anxious all the time, even at night. Try taking your clothes off before you go to bed and let the freedom and serenity of sleeping in the nude wash over you.
5. Helps You Feel More Self Confident
Sleeping naked is not always an easy thing for some people to do. But after all, why shouldn’t it be? It’s just you (or you and your partner) in bed at night. Sleeping naked allows you to embrace your body and feel truly comfortable in it. Over time, you might even start feeling more confident in yourself and your body image.
Irritating bedding, unclean sheets, or items that aren’t suitable for certain weather can end up being uncomfortable. You might fall into restless sleep or continually feel like you have to adjust your position.
6. May Help Improve The Appearance Of Your Skin
Who doesn’t want clearer, healthier looking and feeling skin? Dermatologist Dr. Hadley C. King believes that sleeping naked airs your skin out and lets it breathe. This way, your pores don’t get clogged by lint or dust or dirt, or any bodily fluids trapped between your skin and your pajamas. If your skin feels a little dull and clogged, sleeping nude may help it feel more free and clear.
7. Reduces The Occurrence Of Vaginal Yeast Infections
If you’re a woman who frequently experiences the irritation and frustration of vaginal yeast infections, then in addition to your doctor-recommended medication, you might consider going to bed nude. The vagina is naturally warm and moist, and by trapping it under layers and layers of clothing and bedding, you may increase the likelihood of bacteria forming and turning into an infection. Take your clothes off and let your body breathe; your vagina will thank you.
8. May Increase Fertility In Men
If you and your partner are male and female and you’re trying to get pregnant, sleeping naked will not only encourage you to be more intimate with one another; it may also increase the male partner’s fertility. Several studies, such as this one from 2001, show that when the temperature in a man’s genitals are lowered, his sperm count is higher. When you’re trying to conceive, there’s no harm in making your bed as accommodating an environment as possible for pregnancy to occur. So try sleeping naked - both the male and female partners - to increase intimacy and fertility.
Sleep Naked, Sleep Better
Getting enough good quality sleep is essential to help us make it through our daily lives without dragging or feeling like we need a nap every five minutes. If you can’t sleep well and you’ve exhausted all other options, try the simple, drug-free cure that is taking off your clothes before you go to bed. Sleep naked, and sleep better.
