Going to bed in the buff has more perks than you might think. These research-backed benefits will have you ditching the dowdy flannels and sleeping naked tonight.
People may sleep better in cooler temps than warmer ones. Why? Your natural body temperature naturally declines as you sleep, says Christine Hansen, certified sleep coach, member of the National Sleep Foundation, and founder of Sleep Like a Boss. As your body temperature declines, your cortisol levels go down and your melatonin levels go up. “That’s why when it’s too hot, you feel nervous and jumpy and can’t sleep,” Hansen says. Because wearing PJs or sleeping under heavy covers can disrupt your body’s natural cool-down, it can, in turn, disrupt the quality of your sleep. However, you don’t want to be too cold either: If you’re so cold that you’re shivering, you’re probably not sleeping deeply. While there’s no one perfect temperature for good shut-eye, the National Sleep Foundation recommends setting your thermostat between 60 and 67 degrees—but if you’re sleeping nude and waking up shivering, feel free to turn it up. That cooler sleeping temperature offers other nice benefits, as well.

I walked in on a very uncomfortable employee lounge conversation where several women were discussing the benefits of airing out the lady parts.
Ever since the Northridge quake in 94 I always have at least some boxer shorts on when I sleep. You never know when you’ve got to jump out of bed and run outside.
I like the sound of this, especially #3. However, if one lives in FL you’ll find it to be a real challenge to get the the temps down to 60 - 67 degrees between May and November. In other words, it gets really expensive to sleep naked in the summer. Lol.
Just my $.02.
Sounds like a baby boom might happen from those who read and follow the article!
Well if a nighttime tornado nor something hits here resulting in me in my glory out in public, they’re just going to have to appreciate that because I’m a restless sleeper and detest getting my drawers in a twist from tossing and turning. I’m sure they’ll have seen worse.
lol...yup, just turn around and walk away.
I walked in on a female discussion of penis size once. One of the four “ladies” was so embarrassed she made it a point to never be around me again. Another one as much as asked my what I thought about it. I just got my coffee, wished them a good day and left.

Exceeded only by the time three of them were having a detailed discussion of their menstrual problems in front of some customers.
Sleeping in the buff,
Is very tough
If your ass is bald to the air,
Cover it up
And don’t be a pup
Warm yourself with your hair.
The Norhern climes
bring frost define
Crisping up your lair.
Just remember
fates of November
hibernate like a BEAR!
But on the same page there is a link another pseudoscience article telling you to wear socks while you sleep.
Who did the research? Was it the American Association of Nude Recreation (the organization of naturist resorts in America) or was it The Naturist Society (the organization that promotes Nude Beaches)? We sleep nude...
Reason #989 to not live in California.
Have been doing so since I moved out of my parents house in 1969. If I’m a bit chilly I put on a t-shirt. Hate sleeping in someone’s home. I’d rather go to a hotel
Yikes!!! Uncomfortable...
I want to be a certified sleep coach.
I got through college following one simple rule. Blow it off and go to sleep. Does that qualify?
Let me say that one of the reasons that I live here is that I’m a native and you can’t beat the weather. Am I right? Can I get a witness?
When my brother was in college, he stayed at my aunt and uncles place one night. (Don’t remember why)
He got in late but they left the door unlocked for him. My uncle goofed and set the alarm. When my brother tripped it, here comes uncle Mike blasting down the hall in all his glory.
Laughter ensued.
When I moved to California in '96 I set up a cache of earthquake supplies outside my house including change of clothes and some tyvek jumpsuits. I figured wandering about in my boxers after the midnight quake would get old. Inspired in part by optics of folks in Reseda standing around in PJs or sheets after Northridge '94.
My disaster cache for Arizona is mostly oriented towards shade, preventing dehydration, pulling cactus spines, and treating skin injury. Got some folding chairs because if you sit on the ground around here some tiny critter will try to sting you or eat you.
