Five reasons you should sleep naked

Sleep naked

It encourages greater intimacy
Apart from making sleeping next to a loved
one exciting, our naked body releases
oxytocin, often referred to as the “love
hormone.”
A 2009 study published by the Swedish
University of Agricultural Sciences,
Uppsala, Sweden, says “Oxytocin reduces
blood pressure, cortisol levels and helps to
reduce stress.
This hormone does not only help
relationship, but also your health!
It can keep you cool
One way to be cool during sleep is to
abandon cloths.
It may help relieve insomnia
According to Dr. Cameron Van den Heuvel
of University of South Australia’s Centre
for Sleep Research, regulating sleep
temperature may bring some relief to
sufferers of insomnia.
“Studies of sleep onset insomniacs show
that they consistently have a warmer core
body temperature immediately before
initiating sleep, when compared with
normal healthy adults. This results in a
state of heightened arousal that prevents
them from falling asleep when they go to
bed, probably because they have to wait
for their bodies to lose the heat that’s
keeping them awake. We’re only talking
about a half to one degree but that small
temperature change can result in
significant differences in arousal between
insomniacs and people without sleeping
problems.”
The implication is that sleeping naked
relieves insomia.
It can help relieve stress
Sleeping naked can relieve stress because
it lowers cortisol levels. Cortisol is a
hormone commonly referred to as the
“stress hormone,” and when levels are
chronically spiked, health problems can
arise, such as a propensity towards high
blood pressure, weight gain, and a
compromised immune system.
It can make you look and feel young
During sleep a variety of growth hormones,
as well as anti-aging hormones such as
melatonin, are released. These hormones
serve to keep us looking and feeling young.
To encourage the optimal release of these
growth hormones, we need to get those
seven to eight hours of sleep.
