If you do not already sleep naked, maybe it is time to give it a try.
For some people sleeping nude is completely normal and they cannot fall asleep with clothes on. However, for some people, it is uncomfortable and rather weird to hop into bed with no clothes on.
According to research, adults should sleep at least seven hours each night, yet one-third of adults sleep less than that. Sleep deprivation is a major problem because of how it can negatively impact health. According to Web MD, sleeping naked helps you rest better.
Below are 5 benefits of sleeping naked:
Fall asleep faster and improves quality of sleep
According to Healthline, your body temperature plays a role in how fast you fall asleep. You’ll notice that when you feel too hot, you struggle to fall asleep. Thus, sleeping naked can help you fall asleep faster because your body temperature is lower.
Lower the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart diseases
If you are not getting enough sleep at night, you could be at risk for diabetes and heart diseases.
According to a study by the National Library of Medicine on Short sleep duration is associated with the development of impaired fasting glucose: the Western New York Health Study, there is an association between lower sleep duration and increased risk of diabetes, which in turn can raise your risk for heart disease.
In addition, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, chronic sleep deprivation is linked to many health conditions including type 2 diabetes, heart and blood vessel disease, obesity, and depression.
Reduces stress and anxiety
Having a poor sleep pattern can contribute to your stress levels and anxiety. According to a study done by Pschiatrist.com on Sleep and Depression, not having enough sleep is linked to anxiety, depression and increased suicide risk.
Promotes Vaginal Health
According to Healthline, sleeping naked is also a great way to increase vaginal health and avoid yeast infections. Tight-fitting or sweaty underwear can increase your risk of a vaginal yeast infection since yeast likes to grow in warm, moist places.
Increase male fertility
A study done on 656 males by Oxford Academic on Type of underwear worn and markers of testicular function among men attending a fertility center, suggests a link between wearing tight-fitting underwear and lower sperm count. Men who reported wearing boxers had a higher sperm concentration and total sperm count than those who wore tight underwear.
