Codedromance: 5 Reasons To Sleep Un.clad Every Night

YOU’LL HAVE A BETTER NIGHT’S SLEEP

While pajamas might seem comfy and cozy, they can pose as a real hindrance while you sleep. First of all, PJ’s plus a comforter and blankets can increase your body temperature, making it difficult to fall and stay asleep. The body requires a cool environment in order to fall into a deep sleep, but with all that clothing on, your body might not even recognize that it’s time to go to sleep.

The skin will naturally cool off along with the rest of the body when you hit the sack for the night, but wearing pajamas just hinders the body from doing what it needs to in order to help you drift off into sleep.

YOU GIVE YOUR BODY A CHANCE TO BREATHE

Since we wear clothes all the time in our modern society, we never really give our bodies a chance to “air out,” so to speak. Especially for women, wearing underwear while you sleep traps bacteria and yeast, which can lead to an overgrowth eventually. When people sleep Un.clad, they actually lower the risk of yeast infections, and simply allow the body to air itself out. Plus, it just feels good to allow the cool air to touch your skin without anything getting in the way.

SLEEPING Un.clad NEXT TO YOUR PARTNER WILL DECREASE STRESS LEVELS

Everyone knows cuddling and getting physically close to someone increases your health in many ways, but sleeping Un.clad can take things to a whole new level. Feeling that skin-to-skin contact with your partner will help you de-stress even more, lowering your blood pressure and making you more relaxed. Not to mention, sleeping Un.clad next to someone will make you happier, and therefore, healthier.

YOU WILL FEEL A LOT CLOSER TO YOUR PARTNER.

Not surprisingly, a 2014 survey of 1,000 married British people revealed that people who slept Un.clad were more happy in their relationships. More precisely, 57% of people who sleep Un.clad reported feeling satisfied in their relationships, but only 48% of people who sleep in pajamas reported the same feelings. For those who sleep in onesies, only 15% reported feeling content in their relationship. Judging by these results, I think it’s safe to say that sleeping Un.clad will help you bond with your partner and feel closer to him or her.

CHOOSING TO SLEEP Un.clad HELPS WITH WEIGHT LOSS

After a poor night’s sleep, your stress levels rise significantly, making you more inclined to binge on comforting, unhealthy foods. During sleep, your growth hormones increase while the stress hormone cortisol decreases. This natural process allows your body to remain balanced and keep stress at bay, but having a bad night’s sleep simply throws off the body’s chemical makeup. Sleeping Un.clad allows your body to breathe better, which will therefore help you sleep much more deeply.

In the morning, the stress hormone cortisol increases once again in order to give us energy to start our day. However, if we don’t give our bodies a chance to lower stress hormones, we will inevitably reach out for something to get us through the day and feel better, which usually means junk food.
