Who doesn’t love sleep? It’s a time when our bodies get to shut down and rest so that we can get up the next day refreshed and ready to face the world all over again. And everyone has their bedtime routine: most people’s routines often include brushing their teeth, washing their face and putting on pajamas. The last part of that, though, can be avoided. In fact, there are quite a few benefits to going to bed naked.
It Makes Life Easier
You don’t need to spend money on pajamas, instead you can treat yourself to a box of chocolates or something else that you’ve been dreaming of for a while. You also don’t need to waste time washing, drying, folding and putting them away.
Gives You a Push in the Morning
We are all guilty of lounging around in bed when the alarm goes off. This provides the risk of falling back asleep or being late. When you sleep naked, it will make you feel like you need to get up and get dressed. It’ll also help you keep pushing away taking a shower as you can just get dressed once and for all afterwards.
Sleeping Naked Makes Couples Feel Closer
If you sleep with your significant other, it could lead to better intimacy and bring you both closer. Skin-on-skin contact with your partner causes your body to release more oxytocin, the “happy hormone” which gives you feelings of happiness and contentment about your relationship and your loved one.
Less Distraction
I can’t’ tell you how many nights I’ve spent being irritated by my pajamas riding up or getting twisted or getting tangled in the sheets. This not only causes irritation, but also can cause loss of sleep. Sleep naked and all of these issues disappear!
A Good Skin Care Routine?
Sleeping without clothes gives your body some time to breathe and relax without being restricted by clothes. Since the only other time when you’re naked is probably in the shower, this means that your body is almost always covered by some form of cloth at all times. Giving it this free time when sleeping also reduces the risk of skin diseases and rashes created by bacteria.
Helps Regulate Your Cortisol
Wearing pajamas that are too tight or thick can cause sweating and high body temperature. This encourages the production of cortisol in the body, which can cause weight gain, depression and anxiety and an urge to excessive and unhealthy eating. Sleeping naked helps keep your body cool and relaxed and helps prevent this issue.
Balances Your Production of Melatonin and Growth Hormone
Sleeping naked is your answer to eternal youth! But seriously, though, sleeping naked can help your body produce more melatonin and growth hormones by regulating your body temperature, which in turn helps you get a better night’s sleep and keeps you young and healthy. The Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is also responsible for many other benefits to your health inside and out.
Increased Health of the Sex Organs
Keep your genitalia healthy and free from infection by sleeping naked. Going commando while sleeping keeps the body cool and prevents excessive heating, which is the ideal environment for healthy sperm production. In women, sleeping naked can help prevent yeast infections and other similar problems, also due to high body heat and sweating. Sleeping naked also allows some time for the genitalia of both genders to “breathe” a while and be free of restraint.
It Makes Sleeping in the Summer More Bearable
Sleeping naked is the best way to deal with a hot summer night. Your body temperature could rise, as well as cause excessive sweating in the case of sleeping in pajamas. This can cause any number of the previously mentioned issues and mainly, loss of sleep. That is why sleeping naked is a simple and easy solution to all of them!
