Take it off! Reasons to sleep in the nude
Growing up in Jamaica, you hear reasons why people should not sleep naked. Older folks used to declare that angels do not visit the homes of people who are ‘au natural’ in their sleep. Additionally, some feel that in case of an emergency, you may not have time to throw on clothes cover up and avoid the embarrassment baring it all for your neighbours.
However,
despite the naysayers there are quite a few advantages of lounging in bed in
your birthday suit:
1. It allows
your skin to breathe.
2. For men, the
sperm get to cool down and are more potent. This is great if you are actively
pursuing parenthood.
3. Makes you
age slower: Your hormones may actually release that needed melatonin that
fights the age process easier.
4. It regulates
your body temperature, thus allowing you to sleep more peacefully.
5. Makes you
sleep better and longer: Who would have thought being nude promotes sleep?
6. Minimises
you cortisol: This is your stress hormone so since your body temperature raises
your cortisol level, shed the clothes and be more relaxed
7. Being
skin-to-skin works: Being naked with your mate can produce ‘oxytocin’ known as
the love hormones that build emotional stability, love, trust, attraction and
stability.
8. It’s said to
increase happiness in your relationship. Make sense right?
