Good sleep is the guarantee of health, beauty and a stable psyche. The problem, however, is that we most often focus on what mattress we sleep on, what pillows we have, the bedding and whether the bed is positioned according to Feng Shui. Unfortunately, very few people think about what they wear to sleep in. Underwear or not? This is a question that is important not only for comfort itself, but above all for your health.
Observations by experts show that sleeping without panties or boxers is the best thing you can do for your body during sleep. Even better, however, is if you decide to sleep completely naked. Today we will tell you why sleeping “au naturel” is so important …
Blood circulation is normalized
Blood should circulate freely throughout the body, reaching every cell. However, pajamas, let alone underwear, with their elastic bands and drawstrings can prevent free blood circulation. Sleeping without clothes means no obstacles to blood flow.
Prevention of diabetes
A Swedish study showed that sleeping at low temperatures improves metabolism and lowers blood sugar levels. People who want to achieve this effect, however, should sleep naked. Consider it a first step in preventing type 2 diabetes.
Healthy skin
The skin needs enough fresh air and so-called ventilation for its health. Let your skin breathe at night to minimize the risk of irritation and eczema. According to researcher Nicole Praus from the University of California, Los Angeles, easy ventilation is also good for your intimate parts.
Quality sleep
When we fall asleep, our body’s temperature drops slightly. This is very important for comfortable sleep. When the body is in pajamas, it is harder for it to cool down. Therefore, people who fall asleep naked fall asleep faster and sleep more deeply than those who bundle up in pajamas, socks and a heavy duvet. The absence of clothing helps your body adapt to the ideal temperature, which is one of the main conditions for good sleep.
Less stress and body fat
When we sleep, our body works to reduce levels of cortisol — the stress hormone. It is one of the main reasons for fat accumulation in our body. In addition, sleep is an important factor in the proper secretion of growth hormone, which is also known for its properties of removing excess fat from the body. It focuses on the regeneration of the skin and many organs, but over time its production begins to decline. Observations show that in naked people the secretion of this hormone is much better, so they do not have such problems with overweight and are basically happier.
Let your body breathe. You will spend the whole day in clothes that are not always made of natural materials and a loose cut. Dr. Brewer from the United States is convinced that women and men who sleep naked have a lower risk of urinary tract infection. For men, this helps maintain testosterone levels within normal values.
