Sleeping is a joyful activity, and we spend one-third of our time sleeping. Everyone has their own sleeping preferences, some like to wear long robes to bed, while some prefer sleeping naked. There are two types of nude sleeping: full nudity and semi-nudity, which means sleeping in just underwear. Many people believe that sleeping naked can completely release stress and make sleep more comfortable. So, what are the benefits of sleeping naked?
Benefits of Sleeping Naked:
1. It is healthier for women in their private areas. Dr. Jennifer Landa, the author of “The Sex Drive Solution for Women,” says that the humid environment in a woman’s genitals can easily accelerate the growth of fungi and pathogenic bacteria. Naked sleeping can improve natural ventilation and greatly reduce the risk of gynecological diseases, such as fungal infections.
2. It helps to stimulate passion. Naked sleeping can make it easier for couples to get intimate, and it can also help release oxytocin, which is known as the “bonding hormone.” However, some sexologists believe that constant nudity can lead to aesthetic fatigue and decrease the quality of sexual life, which requires us to spend more time on this mystery.
3. It improves sleep quality. Dr. Lisa Shives, a leading expert on sleep quality at the National Sleep Foundation, believes that the common misconception is that keeping warm in bed by wearing thick robes and blankets leads to better sleep quality. Sleep is the process of the body gradually cooling down, and sleeping naked helps reduce body temperature, which improves sleep quality. Moreover, without the constraint of clothes and pants, the body is free to release stress, and smooth blood circulation can help improve cold limbs, making it easier to achieve high-quality sleep.
4. It benefits skin care and beauty. According to Dr. Natasha Turner, an authoritative expert on acupuncture and therapy, sleeping naked can affect the metabolism of melatonin and growth hormones, which are key to anti-aging. The slight drop in body temperature during nude sleep is favorable for the release of growth hormones and various self-repairs of the body. Exposed skin can also absorb a lot of nutrients to promote basal metabolism, which is beneficial for the metabolism of skin and sebaceous glands, making the skin and hair healthier.
