Having trouble sleeping is a common experience for adults in the United States. Sleep experts suggest a calming environment to help you fall and stay asleep.

1. IMPROVES SLEEP QUALITY

How well you sleep matters. Signs of poor sleep include taking a long time to fall asleep, waking up at night, or feeling tired during the day.

Sleeping naked may improve sleep quality. It helps regulate body temperature, which can help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep, and prevent heat-related interruptions.

2. SUPPORTS SLEEP DURATION

Most adults require at least seven hours of sleep per night to feel rested, but many do not get enough.

Cooling down signals to your body that it is time to sleep. Sleeping naked keeps you feeling cooler, helps you fall asleep faster, stay asleep, and reach the recommended rest.

3. BETTERS SKIN HEALTH

Tight clothing can trap dirt, sweat, and bacteria on your skin, which may cause acne breakouts. Keeping your skin free from restrictive fabric at night might help clear your skin.

Your skin’s wound-healing abilities are more efficient if you get enough sleep and sleep in cooler temperatures. Both help boost tissue repair and regeneration.

4. INCREASES INTIMACY AND EMOTIONAL BONDING

During skin-to-skin contact, your body releases the hormone oxytocin. Sometimes called the “love” hormone, oxytocin is a feel-good chemical that plays a role in social relationships, trust building, and emotional bonding.

People in romantic partnerships tend to have higher blood levels of oxytocin due to physical touch and interaction. You will increase skin-to-skin contact if you, your partner, or both of you sleep naked.

5. PROTECTS VAGINAL HEALTH

Yeast infections develop when there is an overgrowth of the fungus Candida on your skin.

Wearing tight clothing or underwear restricts airflow to the areas of skin underneath, which creates an environment for this overgrowth.

It is possible that sleeping without pajamas could help prevent or decrease the risk of yeast infections.

6. BENEFITS MALE FERTILITY

Tight underwear has been linked to an increased temperature of the scrotum, which could negatively affect the sperm. Researchers theorize this could lead to a lower sperm count and vitality.

Since sleeping in the nude is likely to help maintain a lower body temperature, it may also improve sperm health.

7. BOOSTS SELF-ESTEEM

Activities without clothing can be linked to improved body image. While more research is needed, a 2021 study suggested that sleeping naked may positively affect self-esteem.

8. REDUCES STRESS AND ANXIETY

People with anxiety and depression are more likely to have trouble sleeping.16 Sleeping naked could help lower stress hormone levels that interfere with mental health.

Sleeping in a cooler environment can help lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol at night. There may be a link between lower cortisol levels at night and improved mood and mental health.

9. MAY HELP WITH WEIGHT MANAGEMENT

Sleeping naked might help shed excess weight, but more research is needed to support this finding. Cooler conditions may increase active calorie burning of brown fat, which helps keep you warm.

Improved sleep quality from sleeping naked may lower levels of the hunger hormone ghrelin, which can support weight management efforts.

10. SUPPORTS MUSCLE RECOVERY

Your body releases growth hormones while you are in deep sleep, which helps restore muscle health after exercise. Since sleeping nude may improve sleep quality and time spent in deep sleep, it could improve muscle recovery.

11. COULD LOWER CHRONIC DISEASE RISK

A lack of sleep has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and kidney disease.

There is no specific link between sleeping naked and disease prevention. However, sleeping naked could support your overall health if it improves your sleep.

Tips For Sleeping Naked
Some tips to help get you started sleeping naked include:

Begin gradually by wearing less clothing or (looser-fitting) underwear each night.
Change or wash your sheets at least weekly to remove sweat and bacteria build-up.
Keep a robe or a change of clothing by your bedside in case you need to get dressed quickly.
Make sure your bedding is comfortable and breathable.
Play with the room temperature, and adjust your thermostat slightly with the seasons.
Shower before bed to keep your sheets clean.

Ensure your bedroom is dark, cool, and quiet to get quality sleep. It is also important to avoid cell phone use before bed and get exercise during the day.
