Why should we sleep naked? The benefits and science behind sleeping naked

Clothing culture has played an important role since the beginning of humanity, but modern humans have become anxious without clothes. Sleeping naked can help you sleep better, reduce stress, and have a positive impact on your health. Let’s break free from the restraints of clothing and experience the benefits of sleeping naked.

 

Since the dawn of humanity, clothing has been a large part of human life, along with food and shelter. Early clothing was meant to protect against the elements. Since humans began wearing animal skins and woven leaves, clothing culture has evolved by leaps and bounds, and today we have a wide variety of materials, functions, and designs. However, this article is not about the variety of clothing or the functions of clothing. Modern people have become uncomfortable without clothes except for “special” occasions, such as washing their bodies. In other words, clothing has become a socially constructed convention, which demands that we free ourselves from its restraints.
I once slept without a silk robe by accident. Perhaps I was so tired that I forgot to pack my pajamas. Regardless, I woke up feeling very refreshed, contrary to the fears of those around me that I would get dehydrated by not wearing any clothes, and it was through this experience that I became aware of the existence of nude sleepers. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to explain why nude sleepers sleep naked.
Marilyn Monroe, the sex symbol of the century, is said to have made many men toss and turn in their beds in 1952 when, in response to a reporter’s dirty question, “What do you wear to bed?” she replied, “The only thing I wear to bed is Chanel No. 5 (perfume).” Why did Marilyn Monroe sleep naked? One of the benefits of sleeping in the nude, or naked, is a better night’s sleep.
Experts say that for a good night’s sleep, it’s important to stay cool in bed, which can lower your core body temperature by about half a degree. According to Dr. Chris Idzikowski of the Edinburgh Sleep Center in the United Kingdom, core body temperature peaks around 11 p.m. and troughs around 4 a.m. However, if the temperature doesn’t decrease due to some disturbance, the brain wakes up on its own to find the cause. In this regard, Oxford University professor Russell Foster, an expert in neuroscience, has found that sleeping with minimal or no clothing is effective for a good night’s sleep because sleeping in layers makes it harder to regulate your body temperature.
In addition, sleeping naked can help you “liberate yourself from your underwear,” which helps you sleep better. French scholar Rayleigh argues that wearing underwear to sleep reduces circulation, making it harder to sleep well. The elastic of the underwear constantly irritates the body and interferes with the circulation of the lower part of the body. In addition, Rayleigh argues that panty elastic can cause congestion in the lower part of the female body, which can adversely affect the uterus and ovaries, causing menstrual irregularities and menstrual pain. The same is true for men. It’s believed that underwear squeezes the testicles and interferes with sperm production, but removing underwear exposes the genitals and urinary tract to air, which balances the autonomic nervous system and facilitates the secretion of male hormones. It also allows the anus and urethra to respond to changes in the air outside, which can boost metabolic activity.
Finally, sleeping naked reduces the stress of sleeping. Wearing pajamas prevents the air from circulating properly inside your body. Also, when you sleep in pajamas, the sweat and moisture from your active metabolism during sleep can rub off on your pajamas and cause discomfort. Try sleeping naked to eliminate the sleep disruption caused by pajamas. In addition, stress is caused by the stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system, and sleeping naked reduces the stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system, which reduces stress.
Sleeping naked may seem a little embarrassing in a world where it”s natural to wear clothes. However, why not take the plunge and enjoy the liberating feeling of undressing for the sake of your health? Sleeping naked isn”t just about getting a good night”s rest, it”s also a great way to improve your health and reduce stress. Therefore, we recommend that you understand the benefits of sleeping naked and start practicing it to live a healthier life.
