Consider Sleeping Naked

Surprisingly, only 8% of Americans sleep in the nude, according to a poll of 3,700 people by linen and home decor company Anna's Linens.

So the majority of the population in the United States (and likely the world) does not know what they're missing out on!

Consider Sleeping Naked...

I don't simply say 92% because I imagine there are quite a few folks out there that tried and just didn't like it for various reasons (and as a result didn't notice these benefits), and if you're one of them, I am not directing this take towards you because you have already made up your mind (still, you might end up changing it after reading).

But for those of you who never thought to try this or have been reluctant to even give it a try, this might just revolutionalize your nights.

I have always been reluctant to go to bed too soon, and even now I am because I still don't like the thought of the day coming to an end. However, at the same time, night-time has become one of the best phases of the day, which is also as a result of me being more appreciative of the fact that it's the only time of day when I can totally lay back and let go of all stress and do and think whatever I want - time for myself. Also, I was recently going through a period of angst last year which resulted in a lot of poor nights of sleep, so I guess I am sort of compensating by sleeping like a baby now.

Regardless of what level of importance you place on your shut-eye time, here are 8 reasons you should at least try sleeping in the nude:

1. It's Biologically Natural

This is self-explanatory.

2. Bodily Freedom

Your genitalia, your boobs (women), your whole body is always wrapped in restrictive clothing. You may be surprised as to how free your body feels when ou try it at first. This brings me to my next point...

3. Simply: It Feels Great (at least in my opinion)!

When you first experience feeling nothing but your body being sandwiched between two luxorious sheets, you might smile, especially after a hard or stressful day of work.

4. You'll Heighten Your Sex Drive

Don't be surprised if you start to feel aroused, especially in the beginning. In fact, if I haven't masturbated in the last several hours before going to bed, I usually end up doing so right after getting into bed (and then proceed to sleep like a baby). For those of you who sleep with a significant other, this can be an excellent way to increase sexual activity between you two, as nudity is a very effective precursor to sex. Still, if you sleep alone, this might in addition be the best time for you to explore what turns you on. It's also so great chronologically because after having an orgasm, it's typical to feel drowsy and want to fall asleep, so this alone can cause you to sleep more deeply.

5. You May Begin To Love Yourself More

This is especially excellent for those who struggle with bodily insecurities (we all do to some degree). Maybe you spend too much time ruminating on your insecurities rather and not enough time enjoying life and being happy. Spending luxorious alone time in the nude is an excellent way to connect with your body and aid with being more comfortable in your own skin, and that in and of itself will increase your attractiveness.

6. Hormonal Advantages (Your Looks Might Improve)

Sleeping in clothes can overheat your body and reduce the release of hormones such as HGH (growth hormone), which is responsible for skin repair and (of course) growth if still applicable. If you sleep in a cooler environment, you'll release more HGH which will may ameliorate your skin condition and slow aging.

7. Reduce Stress And Be Happy

Likely, as a result of the above reasons, your mood might lift and you'll sleep and wake up happy and relaxed. Not only will you sleep deeper, but this may reduce your overall stress levels. I saw some articles saying that you also reduce the chance of Type II Diabetes and other health conditions. This seems questionable in and of itself, but it is known that approximately 70% of illnesses are stress-related. Regardless, at the minimum, I'm quite sure that if you enjoy this, you will feel less stressed and more emotionally stable at a basic level.

8. Quality Sleep

You'll also probably consequently get higher quality sleep in general. Sure, you may not be able to get in the whole eight hours, but you can do wonders for youreslf by optimizing how well you sleep. You'll wake up more rested and indirectly perhaps even better the quality of your life in general, as a result.

  • I used to happily sleep in the nude, but then I ended up having to get a room mate, and we live in a shotgun style house, where you have to go through the bedrooms to get to the kitchen, etc. I feel uncomfortable exposing myself to him, because his comments actually kind of creep me out. I'd rather sleep with clothes around him than have him look.

    • That's unfortunate.

    • I think so too. I love sleeping naked, its more comfortable. Even as a child I often slept only in underwear because my mother insisted I had to wear something.

    • Wow, don't think I have seen that kind of house. All I can say is that hopefully you can find a different place in the near future, or find a roommate you are comfortable with.

  • 8%'er here! Been sleeping naked for a couple of years and love the feeling. Nothing like feeling all your skin snuggled up in supersoft sheets and blankies!! Not to mention shared body heat with your S. O.!

    • Yep, once you go naked, you never go back.

    • Hot!

  • I agree with all of these things, but I still prefer some boxers on, just in case I have to get up or something happens.

    I could imagine how sleeping naked as a apparently with small children would be rough as well...

    But ya, I am happy I at least sleep with out a shirt on now.

  • I've never slept nude in the fall and winter because it's too fucking cold. In the summer, yeah I'll do it. But I at least have to have underwear on, especially during my period. I don't want that shit all over my bedsheets and blankets.

    • I don't notice better quality sleep while nude versus having PJ's on though. It might be true for some but definitely not for a chronic insomniac like me.

  • I agree with plus points

    Minus points:
    -Etiquette
    -Smelly/Dirty blanket
    -Not good for people with kids
    -Not good for skin (confirmation required)
    -Emergency exits will be harder
    -Weird for singles
    -Simply: It Doesn't Feel That Great (at least in my opinion)! (see 92% of the people)

    Anyways great effort!

    • Actually, many with kids sleep naked. How is it "weird for singles"? And for etiquette, if you have to leave the bed, just put something on before you get out. Otherwise you're going to be under the covers. But otherwise, fair enough.

    • Don't get offended ^_^

    • I am not. I was just having a discussion.

  • Thanks, but no thanks. I don't want my bed smelling like ass when I wake up. If it's warm enough, I'll sleep in my boxers, but that's it.

  • I almost always sleep nude. It's just more comfortable

  • Perfect! :))

  • I'm in the 8%

  • I love sleeping in the nude!! I go commando as well. If I didn't have to wear clothing I wouldn't.

    • Nice. Perhaps you're a naturist?

  • i dont think my roommate would appreciate me being naked lol!

    i have only slept naked with girlfriends... alone might be very differnt

  • I generally sleep naked n I love it

  • I've slept nude ever since I moved out on my own.

    • I am starting to wonder whether really only 8% of Americans sleep nude or if some people were just too embarrassed to admit that they did.

  • I would if I had someone else to sleep with! My last gf was kewl with this, but I would get cold. My gf before that was always "no way" and I just had to throw her out the window

    • You don't need an SO to enjoy sleeping naked. I myself am single (and have been my whole life, but then again I am only 17). You also don't have to be cold. Just add extra blankets and/or cover yourself up well in them and you should be fine.

    • *rips clothes off* Huzzah!

    • lol have fun!

  • Im a nudist but my family isn't. So sleeping nude is out of the question... definitely because my younger sister likes to sleep with me when she's scared.

  • I'd rather just sleep with underwear.

    • What type sexy underwear

  • I sleep with a dog who also happens to like snuggling under the covers. So I think I'll keep the boxers on.

  • Okay, I usually stay out of things like this, but you're completely right with this!

    • Thank you for your feedback.

  • Most of the time I sleep in underwear or completely naked.

    • Nice.

  • I've slept naked a few times and it's comfortable.

  • I won't because my cock turns upside down and it hurts and I wake up. I'd rather sleep in boxers...
