6 Reasons Sleeping Naked Makes You Healthier, Happier And Wealthier
1. You sleep better naked
By lowering your skin temperature, you increase the depth of your sleep and reduce the number of times you wake up at night. Stripping down to your birthday suit is a great way to lower your skin temperature without changing the room temperature.
2. Sleeping naked reduces stress
Stress suppresses your immune system and increases your risk of heart disease, depression and obesity, while decreasing your cognitive performance. Sleeping naked will help you get a better night’s sleep and improve your stress levels, regardless of what’s going on around you.
3. Lose weight
Keeping yourself cool while you sleep speeds up your body’s metabolism as it creates more brown fat to keep you warm. This boosts your metabolism throughout the day to help you lose weight.
4. Sleeping naked is healthier
In addition to the metabolic effects of sleeping naked, taking off your clothes improves blood circulation, which is good for your heart and muscles. The quality of sleep you get will also increase the release of growth hormone and melatonin, both of which have beneficial effects on aging.
5. Sleeping in the nude builds confidence
Sleeping naked makes you feel more comfortable in your own skin. The more comfortable you feel in your body, the more your self-esteem and confidence increase.
6. Skin-to-skin contact
If you’re married or living with your significant other, sleeping naked increases the chances of skin-to-skin contact, especially for cuddling. This type of contact can also lead to a more active love life. All of this releases large amounts of oxytocin, the neurotransmitter that helps you feel those good feelings toward your significant other.
