Clothes do not restrict movement during sleep, which promotes better relaxation and deeper rest. We often wake up feeling more refreshed and ready for a new day. According to experts, sleeping naked positively affects mental health. It gives a sense of freedom and increases self-confidence related to body acceptance.

– For some, sleeping naked can be a way to feel more at ease with their body, promoting acceptance and a positive sense of self – claims therapist Jessi Gholami.

What are the benefits of sleeping without clothes?

Resting without clothing reduces muscle tension and promotes relaxation. Additionally, sleeping naked facilitates the production of hormones responsible for a good mood, such as oxytocin. A high level of this hormone supports the creation of strong emotional bonds and has a calming effect during challenging moments.

Healthy sleep is key to combating stress. When we feel relaxed and comfortable with ourselves, we fall asleep more easily and deeply rejuvenate. Sleeping naked thus becomes a matter of comfort and an effective way to improve quality of life.

– [Sleeping naked] reduces tension and [relaxes you], therefore making it easier on the mind to unwind before bed – claims clinical advisor Niloufar Esmaeilpour.

Sleeping naked lowers body temperature, affecting sleep quality

When we fall asleep, our body naturally cools down. Lack of clothing supports this process. Dr. Amelia Woods, a sleep specialist, explains that wearing overly tight pyjamas can trap heat, leading to overheating. As a result, we are more restless at night.

– Our bodies naturally cool down during sleep, and maintaining a lower body temperature can help facilitate deeper, more restful sleep – emphasizes the expert.

Sleeping without tight clothes allows the skin to "breathe" during sleep, reducing irritation. Dr. Woods says this can be especially important for people with sensitive skin or conditions like eczema.

Sleeping without clothes deepens intimacy

Sleeping naked strengthens bonds between partners. Keeping the body in its natural state during sleep also benefits intimacy. It allows for better blood circulation and promotes hormone regulation, crucial for sexual health.

Without clothes, the skin can breathe freely, which prevents irritations and intimate infections. Moreover, sleeping without pyjamas promotes greater self-confidence and self-acceptance, which positively influences one's erotic life.

What are the drawbacks of sleeping naked?

While sleeping without clothes brings many benefits, there are also drawbacks. Primarily, you may feel cold without clothes (especially in winter), disrupting good sleep. Additionally, if you share a bed with a partner, direct skin-to-skin contact may be uncomfortable in some situations, especially during illness. Caring for small children or others and worrying about embarrassing situations can also be problematic.
