7 Surprising Benefits of Sleeping in the Nude

Sleeping is one of the most important things we do every night. Getting the right amount of sleep has an untold number of health benefits and not getting enough sleep is a serious problem in many countries around the world. Did you know that you can get additional benefits by sleeping naked? Here are some benefits of sleeping in the nude:

1     1. Better and Deeper Sleep.

Getting a good night’s sleep is easier said than done for most of us who are light sleepers, toss and turn throughout the night, or are simply too busy that we barely sleep. Achieving the optimal amount of sleep is contingent on the room temperature and overall sleeping environment. Optimal temperature for restorative sleep is between 60 and 68 degrees Fahrenheit.

it helps the body’s core temperature to drop in preparation for sleep. If we’re too hot, this will prevent the body’s core temperature to reach the optimal parameters, which can lead to restlessness, and even insomnia. Sleeping naked will prevent the body from overheating, and will therefore lead to a better night’s sleep.

2.   Look Forever Young.

The term “beauty rest,” is not just a myth. Maintaining a room temperature that is no higher than 70 degrees while we sleep allows the anti-aging hormones — melatonin and the growth hormone — to function properly. A sleep environment that is too hot will not allow the body to naturally cool itself and disrupts the release of these hormones. Sleeping in complete darkness stimulates the release of melatonin, which cools the body, and then the growth hormone is released. Hormones will work better at lower temperatures and will allow the body to regenerate resulting better hair and skin. A 2012 study published in the journal Sleep found getting deep, restorative sleep can improve athletic performance with the release of the growth hormone.

Sleeping in the nude with your partner can help stimulate the release of the “love” hormone oxytocin. The skin-to-skin touching will increase a sexual responsiveness and orgasm, while counteracting stress and depression through fighting off the effects of cortisol and blood pressure. "When you and your partner both sleep naked, the skin-to-skin contact will release the feel-good hormone," Dr. Fran Walfish, psychotherapist and author, The Self-Aware Parent, told Medical Daily. "Even further, you may have more sex and we all know orgasms are Mother Nature's best answer to insomnia...better than bottled milk and Ambien!"

For once your body gets to breathe. Your private parts, armpits, and feet are generally restricted all day and are often covered by multiple layers, even in the summer time. Give those parts a chance to air out and breathe. This can lower the risk of skin diseases, like athlete’s foot, that result from wet, restricted skin.

7.   Lose Weight

A good night’s sleep is the best way to fight stress, which causes belly fat. At night, the production of the growth hormone increases while cortisol — the stress hormone — decreases. It is during 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. when our body is resting, which means cortisol should be at its lowest. In the morning, cortisol levels reach their highest point to get us energized by the time we get out of bed. If we don’t get a good night’s rest, we tend to wake up with abnormally high cortisol levels that can trigger our appetite for comfort foods and lead to overeating.
