Sleeping naked 

Now that the weather is getting darker and colder, crawling into bed wearing thick pyjamas can seem even more tempting. However, sleeping naked is better for you all year round.  
 
Sleeping naked has various benefits both for your health and sleep quality. We have listed the advantages below for you; give it a read and maybe even try it.  

Benefits 

It helps you fall asleep faster. 

An important aspect of your biological clock is your body temperature. It regulates when you go to sleep and when you wake up. Your body temperature changes throughout the day, gradually rising in the evening and night. This hormone helps induce sleepiness. By sleeping naked, your body can cool down faster. When your body temperature decreases this way, you can fall asleep more easily. 

Improves your sleep quality 

Trying to sleep when your body temperature is too warm can be detrimental and see you staying up much later than you would like. This is because you’re more alert due to your warm body temperature. Sleeping naked keeps your body temperature low, thereby improving your sleep quality. Another benefit is that you sleep more peacefully and deeply when you sleep naked and don’t wear pyjamas with all those threads and cords that twist around all night. 

Positive effect on your health 

It’s often said that a good night’s sleep is beneficial for your health. When you don’t get enough sleep, you feel less energetic and have difficulty concentrating the next day. Over time, poor sleep can lead to conditions such as heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure, and stress. Sleeping naked improves your sleep quality and positively impacts your overall health. So, it’s actually a win-win situation: you take good care of your health and improve your sleep! 

Good for your skin 

Sleeping naked allows your body to breathe. Generally, your body doesn’t have much time during the day to breathe, although it’s good to let your body air out. By allowing it to breathe, you can prevent various skin conditions such as ageing, eczema, or skin irritations. So, let your body breathe freely. 

Good for your mood 

Sleeping naked helps lower your body temperature. This brings your cortisol level to the right level. Cortisol is a hormone associated with alertness and stress. We all know that a good night’s sleep can work wonders. You wake up feeling happier and refreshed and can concentrate on things more easily. So, sleeping naked can contribute to a good night’s sleep, positively affecting your mood. 

Good for your relationship 

If you sleep naked in bed with your partner, it can have a significant advantage. Skin-to-skin contact releases oxytocin, also known as the love hormone or cuddle hormone. This hormone also helps you become more resilient to stress and promotes relaxation. 

Boosts your self-confidence 

The more you sleep naked, the less you’ll worry about your body’s appearance. Sleeping naked positively influences your self-image.
