Sleep Naked! Here's 5 Reasons Why You Should!

Most people agree that sleeping naked is sexy (and almost necessary in the summer!) but most people don't know that are health benefits to it! Here's 5 scientifically confirmed benefits to sleeping in your birthday suit:

An Australian study concluded that some forms of insomnia can be provoked by improper body temperature regulation at night. Cooler body temperature makes it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep, which is great for body and mind.

Keeping your body at a temperature higher than 70˚F (21˚C) prevents the release of melatonin and growth hormones, which are vital anti-aging hormones. Melatonin is released when you sleep in complete darkness, which triggers a significant cooling in the body.

Sleeping naked and this having a cooler body temp, helps you sleep better and longer. When you don’t get enough sleep, you wake up with abnormally high cortisol levels, which is likely to stimulate your appetite (especially for sweets & salt) and enhance the tendency to over eat.

Increased body temperature impedes the release of growth hormones which is essential for tissue repair and healthy body composition. A study at the University of Warwick concluded that those who sleep less than six hours are three times more likely to develop diabetes and heart disease.

Oxytocin is a powerful feel-good hormone (also called the “love hormone”), which is involved in orgasm and sexual responsiveness, stress, combating depression, reducing intestinal inflammation, and blood pressure reduction. Sleeping naked next to your partner can increase oxytocin production ;)
