The Benefits of Being Bare in Bed


There’s a time and a place for nudity, and for most people the list is short: bathing, changing, and being intimate.

The list doesn’t usually include sleeping; we have pajamas for a reason.

But don’t underrate the possible benefits of sleeping just in your skin. It may seem glamorous and sexy in the movies, but going to bed in the nude can lead to a wealth of health benefits. Plus, relinquishing your pajamas can save you money and space in your closet.

Fall Asleep Faster

Going to bed without clothes allows your body to cool down. Your body needs to drop a half degree and maintain that temperature throughout the night to get a good night’s rest. Facilitate this process by wearing only your sheets and blankets!

Ditch Uncomfortable Clothes

Let’s face it—clothing is full of itchy materials and scratchy tags, even your pajamas. Don’t bother trying to find something that’s comfortable, just lose the clothes altogether. This will save you money too!

Protect Your Private Parts

Wearing tight and restrictive clothing during the day can irritate your sensitive regions. Give your body a break and let it all air out. Doing this can limit bacteria growth and prevent possible yeast infections.

Sleeping sans pajamas, while limiting bacteria growth, will make you feel cleaner and more refreshed when you wake up. Plus, you won’t have to struggle with pulling off your clothes in the morning—you can hop right into your next outfit.

Sleep Off the Extra Pounds

Sleeping doesn’t generally help you lose weight, but sleeping in a cooler environment (like one with no clothes) will boost your metabolism during both sleeping and waking hours.

Promote Intimacy

Have a partner? Share a bed? You and your partner can sleep naked, not just for the health benefits, but for each other’s benefit as well.
