You sleep longer than usual

Many would agree that one reason why we tend to sleep late at night or wake up in the middle of our rest is the temperature and feel of clothes we wore during sleep. You wake up from the itch brought by the cloth’s fabric to your skin, the uncomfortable crumpled pile of the comforter under you, or the excessive warmth your body feels under your clothes while sleeping. These are just some reasons why your bed rest might be shortened due to your worn clothes resulting in you lacking enough sleep at night. Given that, at night our bodies generally get a drop in temperature, the reason why stripping your clothes off is likely to cool down your body faster than with your clothes on. Also, it emphasizes the high percentage of comfort brought by sleeping buck naked. You sleep longer than usual, and your comfort may last longer compared to last night.

Boost self-confidence and promotes body positivity

Before going to bed, there are often chances when you look closely at your body in the mirror after your bath or your nighttime skincare routine. Tossing off those robes or towels, your mind might be wandering somewhere with your self-produced questions regarding how and why your body looks like it in your mirror- triggering the unsaid insecurities you have on yourself.

This is one of the upsides of sleeping with your body naked at night. It helps you to feel more comfortable only with yourself and your skin and build the confidence you need in the process. Having to fully appreciate your body based on your perception and practice body positivity through appreciating that a body is always at its full bloom either with or without the fancy clothes on.

It regenerates dry skin

After a long and tiring hour outside the home, the greatest reward you can give to your skin is to give back its long restraint freeness out of those constrictive clothing you wore the whole day–more so when you actually sleep naked for as good as 7 to 8 hours. Your skin also needs to breathe.

Sleeping sans underwear or the pajamas you used to wear at night gives the skin the chance to regenerate and recover from dryness brought by the sun, pollution, or the stress you’ve experienced the whole day. That is why sleeping naked actually allows the skin to recover overnight from the long hours it was constantly covered– preventing the skin pores from getting aerated that often resulted in skin spots. Furthermore, letting your entire body be freed from the fabrics for at least 7 hours lowers the possible risks of skin diseases.

Gives the sensational feeling of freedom

Reaching the point when you can finally get rid of everything out of your body is one of the most freeing experiences—the shoes you’ve put up with, the make-up that made your face sticky and heavy the whole day, and the clothes damped with sweats which covered your body. Above all mentioned, nothing beats the liberating feeling of having nothing that hinders your body from finally feeling good.

Sleeping without your Pj’s practically gives you a benefit. The feeling of being entire with your body without anything causes the uncomfortable feeling of being restricted. You’ll feel the sensational feeling of getting free, liberation from the power of the fabrics.

It helps you to learn more about yourself

While sleeping without anything on gives you comfort and other health benefits, most people don’t know that it actually helps a person to learn and know more about itself.

After a long day of facing other people and going to places you are familiar with or not, you will be later spending time only with yourself at every end of days. No more tasks, no more friends to fill time with, and no more any other things that impede your alone time with yourself—just you and your body in your bed. This is when sleeping naked helps you discover more about yourself. Buck naked, just you going natural, it somehow urges you to examine and explore your nakedness you don’t usually do given the rush of your mornings. Sleeping fully nude, it in fact gives you the sense of assessing yourself of what changes occurred in your body during the times you didn’t really give attention to.

While sleeping naked is not most likely to cure your illness or sleep issues, none is as simple as going commando to help you improve not just only your snooze but also the way you discover and communicate with yourself. Certainly, it is not the greatest option for people undergoing a lot of circumstances but the perks and self-care it gives cannot be disregarded either. Hence, even if you are a habitual PJ wearer, it is not bad to sleep naked in your preference because perhaps, time spent naked during sleep is one form of self-care we are in fact missing.
