Sleeping with nothing on may seem ‘awkward’ to a lot of men, but research says that it may be the healthier way to snooze.
Sleeping naked allows for a man’s body to enjoy a couple of benefits, including.
1. YOU SLEEP MORE COMFORTABLY
You wouldn’t understand how soothing it is to sleep without your clothes, unless you’ve actually tried it. Sweating is almost impossible, and you don’t get to feel the hotness clothes tend to cause on occasions.
According to health experts, the body temperature naturally decreases as we sleep, and increases just before we’re up, but sleeping in clothes can tamper with that order, leading to hotness and sweating (as mentioned above), causing difficulty in sleeping.
2. THE TESTICLES ARE SHIELDED FROM HARMFUL INFECTION
According to urologists, sleeping in underwear can increase your chances of getting exposed to harmful infection.
Most infections are a result of bacteria which in turn, is mostly found in warm and moist areas. Sleeping in underwear can cause you to sweat and be irritated down there— and this can be an indirect invite to harmful bacteria and infections around the testicular region.
3. TO PRESERVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR SPERM
The scrotum (and testicles) is meant to be of a different temperature from the rest of the body— it ought to be cooler. This is because the testicles produce healthier sperm in cooler temperature. Anything other than that can hamper with good sperm production. So when you sleep in tight underwear, you subject the testicles to warm conditions, and affect its smooth functionality. Unhealthy sperm accounts for most cases of infertility in men.
4. IT BOOSTS YOUR SEX DRIVE
This is especially if you sleep with a partner. Sleeping with no clothes on means that your skin is exposed, and with that, it’s easy for your skin to brush against your partner’s.
According to Swedish researchers, this skin to skin contact releases a hormone called oxytocin in the brain, which is responsible for the reduction of stress, a closer connection to your partner, and an increase in sex drive.
So, guys, it’s time to ditch those clothes and night wear. Give your skin some more freedom, today.
