\"sleeping<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re having issues with your sleep, it\u2019s easy to find advice online, but there\u2019s so <\/em>much out there that at times it can feel overwhelming. While we are all for sleep tips (it\u2019s a large part of what our blog is devoted to, after all), we understand that it can be difficult to wade through all of the available information to find guidelines that will make a difference and are easy to stick to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if we told you though that there\u2019s one <\/strong>thing you can try that\u2019s almost guaranteed to make your sleep quality better \u2014 maybe even overnight? And that this tip is likely to improve not only your sleep, but your overall health, as well? It\u2019s sleeping naked! Read on to learn the specific ways that sleeping in the buff can do wonders for your sleep and overall health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Better Sleep<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first benefit is, of course, better sleep! Sleeping naked keeps your body from overheating during the night. Warm, fuzzy pajama fabrics may be comfy, but they can cause you to wake up in a sweat. In contrast, keeping your body cooler is conducive to better quality zzz\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Increased Intimacy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Skin-to-skin contact increases the hormone oxytocin, which can bond couples, drawing them closer emotionally and physically. In fact, Cotton USA surveyed couples in 2014 and found that those who slept together in the nude were 9% more likely to be happy in their relationship than pajama-wearers. Lying next to your partner while naked can also increase sexual desire, leading to greater intimacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Higher Sperm Count for Men<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Overheated testicles can cause sperm to be lower-quality, making fertilization more difficult. In contrast, keeping the body cooler by sleeping in the nude can improve sperm count. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Lower Risk of Yeast Infections for Women<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sleeping naked reduces warmth and extra moisture between the legs, two key risk factors for yeast infections. Keeping things dry by sleeping in the nude can go a long way to prevent the infection and its unpleasant symptoms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Weight Loss?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned above, sleeping naked makes your body cooler. As a result, in order to keep your temperature in an ideal place, the body speeds its metabolism and produces more \u201cbrown fat\u201d \u2014 a special type of body fat that is activated when you get cold. Brown fat is often called the \u201cgood fat\u201d because it uses calories to keep your body warm in cold conditions \u2014 making it a potentially helpful fat for those trying to lose weight<\/a>. While more research needs to be done (and we\u2019re definitely not saying that sleeping in the nude will solve all of your weight loss troubles), the potential benefits of brown fat for curbing obesity are certainly interesting\u2026 and it won\u2019t hurt!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sleep Disorders<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While sleeping in the nude can accomplish a lot, there is one thing it definitely can\u2019t <\/em>do \u2014 and that\u2019s help people with sleep disorders. Sleeping naked is great for getting better quality sleep and enjoying a few additional health benefits, but people who experience disorders like sleep apnea or insomnia are unlikely to see little improvement without treatment.\u00a0Learn more about sleep apnea here<\/a>.
