Juggling school, work and a social life can be tiring. Which is why it is important that every girl gets her beauty sleep. Enjoying a night’s long slumber seems to be the hardest thing to do these days. You might have tried the remedies that mama taught you, but sometimes not even the craziest remedies work! Here’s something new to try, sleeping naked. And yes, that includes ditching the panties. According to a recent study, less than 10% of North-Americans sleep nude. The study shows that sleeping naked is actually good for your health and that we should all try it out.
If you don’t believe us then read what some fellow students had to say about sleeping naked:
“At first I felt awkward and I even questioned myself as to why I tried this. But I swear after 15 minutes, I was sleeping like a baby! In the morning I woke up refreshed and energized, and really happy too!” – Sara*
“I tried once… It was uncomfortable. It just feels weird, and you’re cold!” – Patricia*
“One of my friends mentioned it to me and said that I should try it too. So I did and I really liked it! I mean I don’t tell people I sleep naked but… It’s awesome.” – Jen*
Still not convinced? Here are 6 reasons why you should sleep in your birthday suit:
1. You’ll Sleep Better
Everyone loves to snuggle up inside their favourite duvet or comforter. Although this is important when trying to get a good nights rest, it is important that your body is nice and cool. Your body’s temperature lowers on its own while you are asleep. If you’re wearing heavy clothing while wrapped up in a blanket, you’ll disrupt your body from doing what it’s supposed to. Sleeping naked will help your body stay cool, therefore giving you the rest you deserve.
2. You’ll Lose Belly Fat
Sleeping naked will allow you to get the rest you need. Which means you won’t be tossing and turning throughout the night. Since you you’ll be sleeping like a baby, your body will be lowering the level of stress in your system provoked by a hormone called cortisol. Keeping this hormone level will not just lower your stress, but decrease your hunger too. If you wake up feeling disrupted you’ll want to eat comfort food, and lots of it.
3. Your Lady-Parts Will Have Time to Breathe
It is completely normal to have bacteria and yeast down there, but too much overgrowth is not healthy. An over-heated environment can cause bacteria and yeast to build up. This could lead to various infections including bacterial vaginosis and candida (yeast infection). Sleeping naked will prevent you from getting an infection.
4. You’ll Keep Your ‘Youthful’ Look
Your body’s temperature can also affect the way your body releases some anti-aging hormones. If your body is too warm, the levels of hormones released can be disrupted. When your body is cool, more anti-aging hormones will be released. These hormones will help regenerate your skin cells and keep your hair looking fabulous.
5. You’ll Have More Confidence
While sleeping naked, you’ll pay attention to other sensations. Such as the feeling of your sheets on your skin and the coolness of the air, which can be very relaxing and sexy. Feeling sexy will boost your confidence for sure!
6. More ‘Sexy’ Time
Not only will you sleep better, gain confidence, lose weight and stay younger looking, but could also increase your chances of getting busy with your partner. The skin-to-skin sensation will increase your cuddle hormone levels, oxytocin. Sexier relationships means a happier relationship, everybody wins!
“I didn’t know people actually slept naked… I mentioned it to my girlfriend once and she just thought I was being a pig. Eventually she came around and tried it. If couples aren’t already doing this, get on it, seriously. Never a dull moment.” – Jason*
With all of these benefits, how could you not sleep naked? When you’re getting ready to go to bed tonight, consider going commando. You’ll wake up looking and feeling great; double the greatness if you have someone to try it with. Sweet dreams!
