Yes. Sleeping naked keeps stress away by boosting the release of oxytocin in your body. Also called the ‘love hormone’, oxytocin is that ‘feel good’ hormone that is involved in orgasm and sexual responsiveness. Several studies have shown that oxytocin may help reduce the likelihood of depression and stress, reduce intestinal inflammation, and regulate blood pressure.

 

Did you know that sometimes, insomnia is triggered by improper body temperature regulation at night? A breakthrough research at the UniSA’s Centre for Sleep Research in Australia found that body temperature has a vital role in the onset of sleep. According to this study, the body needs to drop its core temperature in order for sleep to initiate normally. Another study, published in the journal Brain, found that regulation of in-bed body temperature could significantly help in improving sleep quality and reaching deeper slumber. Also, sleeping naked gives your body a great deal of convenience. You wouldn’t have to worry about drawstrings or clothes getting tangled in sheets. You just feel ‘carefree’.

 

Sleeping nude can protect you from acquiring diseases caused by viruses and germs. As you lower your stress levels, you also boost your immunity. Increased oxytocin and reduced cortisol all contribute to a stronger immune system. 

 

 

Sleeping naked in a room which has a temperature no higher than 70˚F (21˚C) stimulates the production of an anti-aging hormone called melatonin - another hormone that plays a vital role in your health. Apart from regulating your sleep cycle, melatonin can also boost athletic performance - according to a study published in the journal Sleep.

 

 

For men, sleeping nude has been found to boost virility by keeping the testes cooler. Wearing tight briefs and covering up in heavy blankets heat up the testes and lower sperm count.

 

 

 

Your private parts, as well as your armpits and feet are generally restricted all day long. By sleeping in nude, you give them a chance to breathe. This lowers your likelihood of getting skin diseases that usually result from wet, restricted skin.

 

Since sleeping naked lowers down your cortisol levels and improve your sleep quality, the next day you will feel more rejuvenated and less likely to overindulge in fatty and sugary comfort foods that contribute to belly fats. One study found that when participants slept in nude, their unhealthy fat began disappearing, and their health rapidly improved, especially in the metabolic aspects within just a few weeks!

 

 

A study published in the journal Diabetes found that sleeping naked is linked to improved metabolism, reduced blood sugar levels, and a lower risk of diabetes.
