Sleepin Naked is Good for You!!! (Fire Hazards Aside)

Proudly put on this badge after you read the great info from sleepnaked.org! Check out just a bit of the benefits of sleepin in your birthday suit!

Comfort and health

Not only is sleeping naked more comfortable, but it’s good for your health too. Increasing your level of comfort makes it easier for you to relax and sleep, so you get a better night’s kip. The resulting deeper, longer sleep makes it easier for your body to regenerate and repair itself, and build up your energy for the day ahead.
Sexual benefits

If you sleep with a partner, being naked heightens the level of intimacy between you, and you are likely to have sex more often. You may also feel closer to your partner as a result of sleeping naked with them. There is also evidence of improved fertility in men as a result of being in cooler conditions thanks to wearing less clothing.
Work and lifestyle benefits

If you find yourself tired in the morning or during the day even though you’ve had at-least eight hours sleep, you may only be sleeping lightly for that period of time. As mentioned earlier, sleeping naked allows your body to relax more immediately, and you are more likely to fall into a deeper sleep more quickly and wake up refreshed.

But don’t just take my word for it, try it out!

coffee beans

Yes, it should be obvious that caffeine does cause you to not sleep…so the obvious solution? Just don’t drink coffee couple hours before bedtime.

Studies have demonstrated that caffeine disrupts sleep. When caffeine is consumed immediately before bedtime or continuously throughout the day, sleep onset may be delayed, total sleep time reduced, normal stages of sleep altered, and the quality of sleep decreased.

Caffeine’s effects on sleep appear to be determined by a variety of factors including dose, the time between caffeine ingestion and attempted sleep, and individual differences in sensitivity and/or tolerance to caffeine.

Caffeine-induced sleep disturbance is greatest among individuals who are not regular caffeine users. Although there is evidence for some tolerance to the sleep disrupting effects of caffeine, complete tolerance may not occur and thus habitual caffeine consumers are still vulnerable to caffeine-induced sleep problems.

Lack of Sleep

A lot of mis-happenings in the world could have been avoided if it wasn’t for lack of sleep…

People in many high stress professions—such as medicine, law enforcement, or the military—often have to make quick decisions when they’re not well rested. New research confirms what common sense has long held: People don’t do their best thinking when they’re sleep-deprived.
