There’s nothing quite like the feeling of stripping down and jumping into bed – but how about the idea of sleeping in the buff as your entire night-time dress code?.

If you’re unfamiliar with the trend of sleeping in the nude, you may be surprised to learn that many people are ditching their pajamas for the birthday suit.

In fact, there are many ‘nakesomniacs’ who swear by sleeping naked as the go-to method of achieving a good night’s sleep.

But, why sleep naked?

The reasons why many people have decided to go commando at nighttime vary, but there are a few common themes.

Firstly, for those who suffer from night sweats – also known as hyperhidrosis – sleeping without clothing can combat the issue by allowing the skin to breathe better. Excessive sweating can also lead to chafing, which can cause irritation, redness, and soreness.

Secondly, according to sleep researchers, the average person’s body temperature drops by around one degree Celsius during the night, and sleeping naked can actually help to regulate your body temperature – too much fabric can cause your temperature to rise and lead to a restless sleep.

In addition to these physical benefits, sleeping naked can help free yourself from a mental prison.

Shedding clothing and inhibitions has the power to boost self-confidence, improve sex life, and lead to a more relaxed attitude, making sleeping naked the perfect way to set the tone for a good night’s rest.

Still not convinced?

For those who remain skeptical, there are also environmental and financial benefits to consider when converting to the nocturnal nudist club.

Because you’re sleeping naked, you won’t need to launder pajamas and sheets as frequently, and you’ll also consume fewer resources by not running the washing machine as often. That’s good news for environmentalists and budget-conscious individuals alike.

So, how do I start?

The first step in embracing the naked night routine is mental preparation. If you’re not comfortable with the idea, it won’t work for you.

Give it a try, but don’t force it if you’re not ready and don’t fear if the first few nights aren’t flawless.

Next, consider practical elements such as temperature, sheets, and bedding. It would help if you had your bed to be comfortable and comforting. Utilizing proper sheets can aid in finding that sweet spot of coolness against your skin while keeping warm.

Moreover, ensure that your bedroom is the right temperature as warm or cold can both lead to restless sleep.

Also, be mindful of roommates or family who may not have the same appreciation of this new bedtime approach, and don’t forget the mind, body, and soul hygiene. Make sure you feel clean and relaxed.

Take a shower or a warm bath before slipping between the sheets. Turn off the television, phone or anything that can disturb the rest, and try to practice relaxation techniques to alleviate stresses on the mind and body.

In conclusion

While sleeping naked may not be for everyone, the possibilities are endless and can be life-changing for many people. We should take finding the perfect sleep environment seriously and then let the magic happen.

The key to the new pajama-less trend is to stay informed on its benefits and stay comfortable with yourself and your expectations. With these two aspects, it won’t be long before we join the nakesomniac community.
