Sleeping naked has so many benefits, it's a wonderful feeling that many people don't get. It is great for the skin, health and sex life. If you are used to pajamas, it may take a few nights before you are able to sleep well in an adamic costume. Once you get used to sleeping naked and feeling completely renewed when you wake up, you will never want to go back.
Steps
Part 1 of 3: Coping with the Transition
Step 1. Start sleeping wearing only underwear
Are you used to sleeping in pajamas? Even if you normally wear only a shirt in bed, it may take a night or two of adjustment before you are able to sleep completely naked. If you go straight from pajamas to full nude you may have disturbed sleep at first. Start gradually, wearing only your underwear (no bra) at first, to see how you feel.
- Sleeping in your underwear alone provides some of the benefits of sleeping naked. The more the skin is exposed to air, the better it breathes.
- However, by wearing underwear, the body also relies on it to regulate its temperature. The areas of the body covered by underwear do not receive adequate air circulation. That's why being able to sleep naked is worth it.
Step 2. Sleep naked under breathable fabrics
Sleeping naked is healthy because it allows the skin to be free from constricting clothing for at least 7-8 hours. For the sheets and blankets, choose fabrics of natural material, preferably cotton, so that the air present in the room can also circulate on the body.
- Polyester and other synthetic materials are not healthy for the skin. These fabrics hold too much heat and block the air, thus depriving you of the positive effects of sleeping naked.
- If you are particularly interested in sleeping in the healthiest way possible, choose fabrics made with organic fibers. This way the skin is not exposed to chemicals.
Step 3. Choose sheets and blankets according to the season
Many people complain that it is too cold in winter to sleep naked. This problem can be easily solved by putting the appropriate covers for the season. If you have a good duvet, the body adapts perfectly to the environment and is comfortable in the warm, without the need for pajamas. In the summer, a thin cotton sheet and blanket might be all you need to feel comfortable.
- It may help to keep different types of comforters and thin cotton blankets in the room. This way you can add or remove according to your needs.
- It is recommended to keep a sheet all year round. You can remove the blanket if necessary, but you always have a layer of fabric left to avoid feeling completely exposed.
Step 4. Consider taking a bath before going to bed
You may feel more comfortable if you go to sleep after a nice relaxing bath. Your skin will feel fresher and cleaner and your sheets will stay clean longer. Among other things, taking a warm bath before bed also helps stimulate sleep, so you should be able to sleep even better.
Step 5. Keep a dressing gown or some other garment next to the bed
It's a good idea to have something to wear right away in the morning so you don't feel cold when you go to the bathroom. It is advisable to have a suit nearby even in an emergency. You will be able to rest more peacefully knowing that you have a garment on hand in case there is some reason that forces you to leave the bed quickly during the night.
Part 2 of 3: Maximizing the Benefits
Step 1. Check if your partner also wants to sleep naked
Maintaining skin-to-skin contact throughout the night causes the body to release oxytocin, a hormone that makes you feel good and helps relieve stress and depression. In addition, it also reduces blood pressure. Take full advantage of sleeping naked by inviting your partner to do the same.
- Another advantage that should not be underestimated is that contact with your partner's bare skin can lead to more frequent sexual intercourse. In this way, being naked can increase intimacy and strengthen your relationship.
- To make sure you both feel comfortable, keep an extra blanket or two on both sides of the bed. So each of you can add or remove layers of fabric according to your temperature needs.
Step 2. Set the thermostat to 21 ° C or less
You sleep better if the temperatures are cooler. When the body overheats, often due to restrictive clothing, it cannot rest well and deeply, while a good, restful sleep is necessary to stay healthy. Regardless of the climatic season, try to keep the temperature in the bedroom low at all times and sleep naked so that the body can self-regulate its own temperature. If you feel cold during the night, just put an extra blanket; it is much better than wrapping the body in tight pajamas.
- Additionally, sleeping at lower temperatures helps the body regulate melatonin and growth hormone. If you can't get the deep rest that comes from sleeping in a cool place, your body can't properly produce these hormones, which are essential for repairing cells.
- Ensuring deeper sleep also allows you to regulate the production of cortisol, a hormone produced by the body during times of stress, which causes weight gain and other health problems. Allowing the body to rest completely avoids producing an excess of cortisol, which is harmful to the body.
Step 3. Make sure the room is completely dark
Since you're already getting the benefits of sleeping naked in a cool room, you can take another step to ensure you get the best sleep possible. Turn off all lighting and electronic tools so you can sleep in a dark room. Sleeping in total darkness allows the brain to rest completely, facilitating optimal sleep.
- Avoid constantly checking your phone or laptop just before closing your eyes. The light from these devices can prevent you from sleeping well.
- If outdoor street lighting prevents your room from being dark, consider getting blackout curtains for better sleep.
Step 4. Allow the air to flow over your body
Fresh, dry air improves blood circulation. It also provides the right conditions to improve the health of the male and female sexual organs. For men, keeping the genitals at a cooler temperature aids sexual function and keeps sperm healthy. For women, allowing cool, dry air to circulate around the genital area can help prevent yeast infections.
Part 3 of 3: Creating a Comfortable Routine
Step 1. Take care of everything before going to bed
If you live in a house with other people besides your partner, you will probably need to take precautions to avoid embarrassing situations. Make sure the kids are already in bed and ready for sleep before going through your nightly routine and getting undressed. This will reduce the chances of a sleepy little one breaking into your room while you are naked.
- If you're particularly worried about being seen, don't undress until just before getting into bed. Brush your teeth and turn off the light while you are still dressed.
- Don't forget to keep a dressing gown next to the bed, just in case.
Step 2. Bar the door if you feel safer
You can lock or lock the door so that no one can enter. If you live in a house with other adults, you can install a locking system to lock the door, so you can feel more peaceful when you are naked in the room. If you have small children, you cannot lock the door; in this case you can put a thick towel under the door or hold a chair in front of it. So you will be notified a few moments before the baby breaks into the room.
Step 3. Set your alarm to get up early
So you'll be up and dressed before the kids come knocking on the door. If you need more sleep, but you know that others in the house wake up early, you can put on a nightgown and go back to bed to spend the last moments of your rest sleeping in your clothes.
Step 4. Talk to your kids about privacy
It would be a good idea to let them know that your bedroom is your private space for a few hours. They must make a habit of knocking and waiting for an answer before entering. That way you'll have plenty of time to wear something before they can see you naked.
- There are sure to be occasions when your kids will see your bare shoulders poking out of the blanket, and that's okay. It is perfectly normal to sleep naked, it is not something you have to hide from your children.
- Informing them that you and your partner sleep naked and that everyone deserves their privacy before getting dressed is a nice way to handle the situation and hopefully avoid uncomfortable awkward situations.
Advice
- Shower before bed to keep the sheets clean. Also wash your sheets often if you want to feel cool.
- If your home situation makes it difficult for you to sleep naked, compromise and sleep in your underwear.
- Put a sign on the door asking to knock before entering.
- If someone in the house sees you naked, you can just tell them to go back to bed or just face the fact that they saw you naked and act like it never happened.
