It's sunny, it's hot and it's finally time to put away your old long-sleeved pajamas. And this year, instead of replacing it with your worn-out old shorts, why don't you try sleeping naked? This still uncommon habit (about 22% of Americans and 10% of French people) is full of benefits. Explanations.

Regulate your temperature and avoid infections

By sleeping naked, we are less hot, we sweat less and it is up to the body to regulate its body temperature. As a result, in addition to losing calories, falling asleep occurs more quickly and the skin, which is not encased in clothing, produces less sebum. The latter, associated with perspiration can cause skin problems but is also the ideal place where bacteria proliferate. Note that wearing underwear at night increases the risk of irritation, cystitis and other vaginal yeast infections in women.

Better quality sleep

Without rubber bands, suspenders, buttons, your movements will be freer, and your blood pressure released and result, you will feel more comfortable. You will also be less hot, which allows for deeper and better quality sleep. Be sure to ventilate your room well during the day and close blinds or shutters if it is exposed to the sun. It is advisable to sleep in a space where the temperature is between 18 and 19°C.

Boost your self-confidence

Sleeping naked also means exposing your body, seeing it a little more often and perhaps the opportunity to reconcile with it. And for those who sleep together, so much the better, it also boosts... libido and emotional ties. Sleeping naked next to your partner stimulates sexual desire, but not only since contact increases the secretion of oxytocin, called the love hormone.

It's eco-friendly

Fewer clothes worn, less washing, less water used. Easy as pie.
