5 Surprising Health Benefits Of Sleeping Naked

Dec 28, 2017

No one can overstate the importance of a good night's sleep. Lack of shut-eye can leave your brain exhausted, causing a slew of serious side-effects and even life-threatening medical conditions.

But what you may not know is that experts are increasingly recommending sleeping naked, mainly due to the fact that it reduces moisture and heat on the body, thereby decreasing the chances of bacterial proliferation. Read on for more benefits.
 

1. Comfort

Opting out of restrictive clothing and sleeping in the nude, will improve your blood circulation, making you feel more comfortable. It may even help with insomnia.

2. Better Night’s Rest

When you sleep naked, your body temperature will naturally decline, improving your sleep quality. In contrast, wearing warm pajamas to bed or covering yourself with blankets might disrupt this vital cycle.

3. Good For Skin

Sleeping naked lets your skin breathe more efficiently, allowing your body’s natural anti-aging agents kick into gear. Your genitals will also get aired out, reducing the risk of fungal infections and improving overall sexual health.

4. Regulates Cortisol

Sleeping in the buff helps keep your body temperature in check, so your body can better control its cortisol (stress hormone) levels. If you’re too hot when you sleep, cortisol levels will stay high, and signal your body to store fat rather than burn it.

5. Balances Melatonin

When you sleep naked, you’re also encouraging your body to release melatonin and growth hormones, both of which play an essential role in your body’s longevity and overall health.
