Sleep Naked

1. Airing out your cooter [vagina, pussy, hoo-ha, ladybits] Sleeping naked can be healthier for your vagina. While it’s totally normal to have yeast and bacteria down there, the warm environment can sometimes cause an overgrowth. One way to prevent infections is to “air it out” and go commando. 2. You’ll Sleep Better While you might like being cozy and warm at night, it’s actually important to have a cooler environment when you sleep. “Your body temp progressively declines as you sleep, which is a natural tendency of the body, so being too warm with heavy PJs and blankets can disrupt that.” Sleeping naked, can help your body stay cool. 3. You’ll Look Better According to Natasha Turner, being too warm at night disrupts the release of melatonin and growth hormone—your main anti-aging hormones—into your body. “As your body temperature drops, growth hormone is released and works its regenerative magic.” And that keeps your skin and hair looking awesome. 4. You’ll Lose Belly Fat Sleeping naked helps you sleep more soundly, which will allow your levels of the stress hormone cortisol to decrease as you rest, keeping your energy and hunger levels in check, Turner says. When your sleep is disrupted, your cortisol will be too high when your alarm goes off, making you more likely to wake up hungry for comfort foods—and more likely to overeat them. 5. You’ll Feel More Confident Sleeping naked feels great. “We can tune in to sensations like the feeling of the sheets and the coolness of the air, which can be very sexy.” And feeling sexy increases confidence. 6. You’ll Have Better Sex Sleeping naked is great for your relationship because laying skin to skin will increase feel-good chemicals like the cuddle hormone oxytocin. “Sleeping naked encourages sex and sexier relationships are happier relationships.” You’ll feel more relaxed and be more in the mood for sex, which makes you more likely to have an orgasm. Win-win.
