SLEEPING NAKED–THE SURPRISING BENEFITS TO SLEEPING NUDE
Do you ever wonder what the benefits of sleeping naked are? This article provides you with the benefits of sleeping naked, including boosting self-esteem.
Sleeping naked may seem abnormal to some people. However, it has many benefits, and some can impact your general health and lifestyle. Some people sleep naked for comfort, while others do it for intimacy. When you sleep naked, your body benefits in many ways that you cannot imagine. For instance, you should be getting around 8 hours of sleep every day, but some people do not get that because they have insomnia. The solution could simply be sleeping naked. The following are some of the benefits of sleeping nude;
Boosts Self–esteem
According to West (2018), sleeping naked is good for boosting self-esteem and love for your body. You may need to walk around to find clothes to wear. If you always sleep naked, you will not be too conscious that you are naked. You are self-aware, and being naked is normal to you. Sleeping naked also boosts your confidence.
Lowers Body Temperature
When we sleep naked, the body temperature is lowered. This will help you sleep faster and have good quality sleep. Therefore if a person has insomnia, one thing they can do is sleep naked. Any slight increase in temperature is the reason why we wake up. When we wake up, it poses a problem to the immune system, affecting our performance the next day. Khanam & Das (2021) explained that sleeping naked makes you safe and free.
Better Vaginal Health
Sleeping naked will be beneficial for vaginal health. According to Kamath, Pais & Nayak (2013), tight synthetic undergarments can cause vaginal infections such as yeast infections. Sleeping nude ensures that the vagina can breathe properly and keeps off the environment suitable for infections. After a day of tight clothes and undergarments, a full night of no clothes keeps the vagina healthy.
Good for Male Fertility
Tight undergarments have been known to affect male fertility. Sleeping naked will boost the sperm count due to the cool body. A good sperm count depends on body temperature. Men who wear light undergarments seem to have a higher sperm count than men who wear tight undergarments.
Feel Closer to the Partner
Skin-to-skin contact is good for bonding. Couples can explore each other bodies. The touching releases oxytocin, bringing them closer and loving each other. The couple benefits emotionally and physically. Stress levels are reduced.
You Will Have More Sex
A couple does not have to keep on undressing to have sex. Sometimes the clothes may impede couples from enjoying intimacy because some couples overdress. They want to get intimate, but the thought of undressing and feeling cold puts them off. You will not have that challenge if you sleep naked because you can easily transition into having sex when you cuddle. Sleeping naked means that any time is sex time. Moreover, the fact that sex is spontaneous boosts the relationship.
You Will Be More Comfortable
When you get into bed, wait for the body temperature to cool down so that you can sleep the whole night.
Keeps Illnesses Away
Illnesses such as diabetes and stress will be reduced because you can get good quality sleep. When you wake up in the morning, you are less stressed.
Your Skin Looks Healthier
Sleeping nude is important because it allows the skin to breathe. If you do not sleep well, you will develop dark circles around your eyes. If you have wounds and cuts, you may need to sleep better for faster healing.
Enables Weight Loss
Poor sleeping habits are one reason why people add weight. When you sleep naked, you can sleep longer, which helps reduce the chances of gaining weight. Sleeping is important because your body needs to break down the body fat through what is known as metabolism. When you do not sleep long enough, the metabolism process is affected.
Conclusion
Having a good sleep will probably not solve your sleep issues, but it can improve your sleeping pattern. It will, however, definitely be useful to your relationship as you cuddle naked, explore each other's bodies, and have more sex. Both you and your partner will have fewer or no genital infections. You will wake up energized in the morning, unlike if you had a bad night's sleep. If you do not sleep well, you will most probably have an unproductive day because you must always compensate for the sleep you did not get.
