The way we choose to dress for bed is a personal preference, with some individuals opting for pajamas, while others prefer to sleep in the nude. While sleeping naked may seem like a matter of comfort or personal habit, you may be surprised to learn that it can have a range of potential benefits beyond just feeling free and unrestricted. In this article, we will explore the advantages of sleeping naked and how it can positively impact your overall well-being.
Increase the Quality of Sleep
Irregular body-temperature at night causes insomnia. Another study showed that the body temperature regulation during sleep could help for a better and deeper sleep. The group of scientists from Netherland also have conveyed a research in which they put thermo suits on the participant’s bodies to reduce the skin temperature. Moreover, they cared the core body temperature to remain unchanged. The result was the following – participants had a peaceful night and slept well.
So, according to this conclusion, do not cover yourself with thick and heavy blankets at night. Grand warming of the body negatively affect your sleep.
It Lowers the Cortisol Level and Reduces the Belly Fat
Your body is cooling down while you sleep, during the night. Such cooling process allows high cholesterol and increased appetite.
Your body is in a phase of deep rest at night between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., when cortisol reaches its minimum. After 2 a.m. the glands that produce cortisol start their active work to renew the energy in your body. Then, you wake up filled with energy.
The opposite of this situation, when you wake up tired – it means that you have abnormally high level of cortisol that stimulates your appetite (the need for sweet) and belly fat.
It Prevents Aging
Your sleeping-room-temperature should not be higher than 70˚F (21˚C). Higher temperature prevents the release of the two most important anti-aging hormones, melatonin and growth hormones.
When you sleep in completely dark room, the body temperature drops down and your body releases melatonin and growth hormones. In fact, a study published in the journal “Sleep” proved the act of sleeping itself causes the release of growth hormones.
Healthier Body Composition
You already know that growth hormones are essential for tissue regeneration and the whole-body health. Increased body temperature inhibits that process.
A study at the University of Warwick has proven that people who sleep less than 6 hours a night have three times greater chance to catch diabetes, to have heart problems and to gain weight. Lack of sleep causes the release of cortisol and hunger hormones, which furthermore causes increased level of insulin in the blood. It also reduces the fat-burning and appetite-controlling hormones production.
