Sleeping nak*d
Did you know that only 8% of Americans sleep nak*d, even though
it’s healthier and improves more than one area of your life? Are
we all sabotaging our sleep, beauty, and $ex, or are we just
unaware? Well the following information may just cause you to
chuck those pajamas and bring out your birthday suit. Here are 10
reasons why people who sleep nak*d are healthier.
1. Sleeping nak*d helps prevent insomnia.
A recent Australian study concluded that a drop in core body
temperature is needed in order for sleep to initiate normally. The
body pushes the heat out from the core like a radiator and
releases it. If your body can’t release the heat because of heavy
pajamas or socks, you are more likely to suffer from insomnia,
because your core won’t be able to release the heat. Sleeping
nak*d allows the heat to release more quickly, and helps you fall
asleep faster.
2. nak*d sleepers get deeper, longer sleep.
Another study showed that the regulation of in-bed body
temperature could significantly help in reaching a deeper sleep for
longer periods of time. In one study in particular, Dutch scientists
placed thermo suits on participants in order to lower their skin
temperature. As a result, the participants had an uninterrupted
sleep and spent more time in the deep sleep stages.
3. Sleeping nak*d helps prevent excess belly fat.
Natural body cooling at night helps you lower your cortisol levels.
The deep sleep hours between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. lower cortisol
levels to a minimum, then after 2 a.m., the glands that produce
cortisol start working more actively to prepare the body for the
next day. This is so you feel energized when you wake up.
When you don’t get enough sleep, you wake up with abnormally
high cortisol levels, which stimulates your appetite for comfort
foods that create belly fat when eaten. Since sleeping without
pajamas keeps you cooler, it helps to regulate those cortisol levels.
4. Sleeping nak*d can make your $ex organs
healthier.
The vagina is naturally a warm and humid place, creating an
environment where yeast and bacteria thrive. By removing those
pajamas and exposing it to free flowing air, you allow the vagina
to breathe, helping to prevent the growth of yeast and bacteria.
For men, keeping the testes cooler helps keep sperm healthy and
the reproductive systems functioning normally, which is why the
testes are located outside of the body in the first place. When you
are wearing tight briefs, the testes heat up and lower your sperm
count.
5. A cooler body helps prevent aging.
According to a study published in the journal “Sleep”, sleep in and
of itself triggers the release of growth hormones and melatonin,
which are the most vital anti-aging hormones. So the more you
sleep, the more of these hormones you produce. And since we’ve
already determined that lower body temperatures create a deeper,
longer sleep, being nak*d is sounding better and better. I mean,
who doesn’t want to slow the aging process?
6. Skin-to-skin contact improves your $ex life.
If you’re not sleeping alone, skin to skin contact with your partner
can boost the release of oxytocin in your body. Oxytocin is a
powerful “feel-good” hormone, which is needed for orgasm and
$exual responsiveness, dealing with stress, combating depression,
reducing intestinal inflammation, andreducing blood pressure. It’s
also important to note that being nak*d removes any obstacles
between you and your partner and encourages a more $exual
environment.
7. Airing out your skin prevents skin diseases.
Airing out the skin all over your body, especially in areas like your
feet, armpits, and genitals, means a lowered risk for skin diseases
like athlete’s foot and Intertrigo, which result from wet, restricted
skin!
8. Being exposed to your body improves self-
esteem and acceptance.
Theories suggest that the more time you spend in the n*de, the
more comfortable you feel in your skin. And the more comfortable
you feel, the more confidently you’ll behave, making you happier
and more attractive to others. And according to a study done by
the University of Central Florida, pro-nudity students “were
significantly more accepting of other religious groups and the
LGBT crowd” when compared to the anti-nudity students. They
were also “less prejudiced towards ethnically dissimilar peers.”
9. Sleeping nak*d helps prevent type 2 diabetes.
A study, published in the June edition of Diabetes, found that
sleeping in colder temperatures has been linked to improving our
metabolisms, lowering blood sugar levels and even preventing type
2 diabetes. Scientists found that, when the participants were
colder—and sleeping almost entirely in the n*de, their unhealthy
fat began disappearing within just a few weeks, and their health
was rapidly improving, especially in the metabolic aspects.
10. You’ll experience better blood flow.
Without all those elastic bands around your waist, twisted t-shirts,
and tight socks cutting off your circulation, your blood can more
freely flow through your body. This increased circulation benefits
the heart, muscles, and arteries as the oxygen rich blood flows to
your extremities.
With all this information on why sleeping nak*d is SO MUCH
better for you, why are you still wearing pajamas? Go ahead,
indulge in a little nak*d time. According to science, you won’t
regret it.
