Underwear, plus tight pants or leggings on top of it, is the culprit. There are also no known correlations between going commando and any kind of infection, according to gynecologist Dr. Gillian Dean. She strongly suggests sleeping without underwear if you don’t have the heart to go without it during the day. _ Another reason for you to go commando!_ ## **Quality Sleep is Achieved** The body temperature drops at night to get it ready for sleep. ### **The body has to have **a low temperature to achieve quality sleep. Dr. Chris Idzikowski, the **author of “Sound Asleep, The Expert Guide to Sleeping Well”, says that sleeping naked makes it easier for the body to cool down and maintain a good temperature.** ![Woman sleeping naked peacefully in bed for better health and relaxation](https:// i0.wp.com/stayathomemum.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/bigstock-Naked-Girl-Sleeping- In-Bed-Rel-46200409.jpg?resize=551%2C367&quality=89&ssl=1 "Sleeping Naked is Good for You") The core temperature is highest at 11 p.m. and is lowest at 4 a.m. To experience an uninterrupted, [sound sleep](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-3186093/How-sleeping-NAKED-gets-toned-Snoozing-nude-reduces-cortisol-levels-helps-body-heal-workout.html), there should be nothing that would interrupt the body’s cooling down process. So if you don’t want your brain waking you up in the middle of the night to check what’s going on with your body temperature, jump into bed naked. ## **Chronic Pain Can Be Reduced** [⌊Beautiful long hair styled in soft romantic curls perfect for wedding hairstyles⌉⌊Beautiful long hair styled in soft romantic curls perfect for wedding hairstyles⌉ ](https://i0.wp.com/stayathomemum.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/87.jpg?quality=89&ssl=1) ### **Sleeping naked is good for you because increases the chance for a better circulation** ..which means pains and discomfort that women [suffer ](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-3186093/How-sleeping-NAKED-gets-toned-Snoozing-nude-reduces-cortisol-levels-helps-body-heal-workout.html) from may be significantly reduced. ## **Good Mornings, indeed!** [⌊Woman smiling and stretching in bed during morning wake up⌉⌊Woman smiling and stretching in bed during morning wake up⌉ ](https://i0.wp.com/stayathomemum.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/womenhealthandbeauty.jpg?quality=89&ssl=1) A good night’s sleep (thanks to nude sleeping) is scientifically proven to have beneficial effects on the general health of a person. ### **Waking up from a restful sleep equips the body with enough energy to fuel it for a long day. ** If you’re not dragging yourself around like a zombie, you are likely to tick off more tasks from your to-do list for the day. Feeling accomplished leads to feeling happy. ## **Sperms Are Healthier** [⌊Man sleeping peacefully on bed with eyes closed⌉⌊Man sleeping peacefully on bed with eyes closed⌉ ](https://i0.wp.com/stayathomemum.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/mensfitness.jpg?quality=89&ssl=1) Sleeping Naked Is Good For You Men know that keeping their private parts healthy means wearing the right kind of underwear. But doctors from the Seattle Sperm Bank say that men will produce healthy sperm if they keep their testicles cool while they sleep. ### **Wearing loose boxers, doctors say, is okay, but going commando is the best way.** ## **More sex, Better relationships** [⌊Happy couple cuddling in bed smiling and relaxing together⌉⌊Happy couple cuddling in bed smiling and relaxing together⌉ ](https://i0.wp.com/stayathomemum.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/483396133.jpg?quality=89&ssl=1) Studies have [proved](http://www.bustle.com/articles/29856-is-sleeping-naked-good-for-your-relationship-survey-says), that couples who sleep naked develop stronger, better relationships because inhibitions are completely eliminated. ### ** Skin-to-skin contact releases oxytocin, the hormones that you need to reduce stress, feel happy and have lower blood pressure.** Also, nothing encourages sex better than touching, cuddling, and being together in bed in your birthday suits. Sleeping naked may take a lot of getting used to especially if you’ve been sleeping all your life wrapped in those snug pyjamas. Allow a transition period for yourself and do a “prolonged” strip tease. If going naked is a bit too much for now, try sleeping in your underwear until you’re ready to finally toss it away. ## **It Helps You Lose weight** If it is too easy to do, it shouldn’t work, right? But I wouldn’t argue with sleep specialists who would [say ](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2701058/How-cold-bed-help-lose-weight-Body-burns-fat-help-warm-sleep.html) that one can lose weight without having to do the crunches. Sleeping in your birthday suit increases metabolism and pushes your body to do some work to keep it comfortably warm. ### **In a groundbreaking study conducted by the US National Institute of Health, it was found that male subjects who slept naked in a cool room lost weight. ** When they slept in rooms with higher temperature, their bodies had an opposite reaction. There has been a lot of talk lately about “brown fat”, which produces heat in the body by burning fat. Sleeping in the nude activates brown fat, and since it has been found to produce 300 times more heat than the other organs in the body, you are actually doing your body a favour. ## **It Will Take Ages Off Your Face** [⌊Man sleeping naked peacefully in bed enjoying restful sleep at home⌉⌊Man sleeping naked peacefully in bed enjoying restful sleep at home⌉ ](https://i0.wp.com/stayathomemum.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/CANALBLOG.jpg?quality=89&ssl=1) [Sleeping](http://www.cosmopolitan.com/health-fitness/advice/g2681/sleep-naked/) in a warm temperature will force your body to cool down, and doing this will disrupt the release of anti-ageing hormones. ### **Low temperature allows hormones to work better, which means never having to wake up to dry skin and hair ever again.** Now putting aside all that science proved, with that cutie in your bed.Why would you even want to keep those pyjamas on? ## **_What do you think?_** ![author avatar](https://i0.wp.com/stayathomemum.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/ 12/clare_whitfield_profile.webp?quality=80&ssl=1) Clare Whitfield Chief Editor Clare Whitfield is the Editor of Stay at Home Mum and a recognised voice in practical home management for Australian families.
