Sexual Relationships 
Sexual Health 
Surprisingly, only 8% of Americans sleep in the nude, according to a poll of 3,700 people by linen and home decor company Anna's Linens.
So the majority of the population in the United States (and likely the world) does not know what they're missing out on!
I don't simply say 92% because I imagine there are quite a few folks out there that tried and just didn't like it for various reasons (and as a result didn't notice these benefits), and if you're one of them, I am not directing this take towards you because you have already made up your mind (still, you might end up changing it after reading).
But for those of you who never thought to try this or have been reluctant to even give it a try, this might just revolutionalize your nights.
I have always been reluctant to go to bed too soon, and even now I am because I still don't like the thought of the day coming to an end. However, at the same time, night-time has become one of the best phases of the day, which is also as a result of me being more appreciative of the fact that it's the only time of day when I can totally lay back and let go of all stress and do and think whatever I want - time for myself. Also, I was recently going through a period of angst last year which resulted in a lot of poor nights of sleep, so I guess I am sort of compensating by sleeping like a baby now.
Regardless of what level of importance you place on your shut-eye time, here are 8 reasons you should at least try sleeping in the nude:
1. It's Biologically Natural
This is self-explanatory.
2. Bodily Freedom
Your genitalia, your boobs (women), your whole body is always wrapped in restrictive clothing. You may be surprised as to how free your body feels when ou try it at first. This brings me to my next point...
3. Simply: It Feels Great (at least in my opinion)!
When you first experience feeling nothing but your body being sandwiched between two luxorious sheets, you might smile, especially after a hard or stressful day of work.
4. You'll Heighten Your Sex Drive
Don't be surprised if you start to feel aroused, especially in the beginning. In fact, if I haven't masturbated in the last several hours before going to bed, I usually end up doing so right after getting into bed (and then proceed to sleep like a baby). For those of you who sleep with a significant other, this can be an excellent way to increase sexual activity between you two, as nudity is a very effective precursor to sex. Still, if you sleep alone, this might in addition be the best time for you to explore what turns you on. It's also so great chronologically because after having an orgasm, it's typical to feel drowsy and want to fall asleep, so this alone can cause you to sleep more deeply.
5. You May Begin To Love Yourself More
This is especially excellent for those who struggle with bodily insecurities (we all do to some degree). Maybe you spend too much time ruminating on your insecurities rather and not enough time enjoying life and being happy. Spending luxorious alone time in the nude is an excellent way to connect with your body and aid with being more comfortable in your own skin, and that in and of itself will increase your attractiveness.
6. Hormonal Advantages (Your Looks Might Improve)
Sleeping in clothes can overheat your body and reduce the release of hormones such as HGH (growth hormone), which is responsible for skin repair and (of course) growth if still applicable. If you sleep in a cooler environment, you'll release more HGH which will may ameliorate your skin condition and slow aging.
7. Reduce Stress And Be Happy
Likely, as a result of the above reasons, your mood might lift and you'll sleep and wake up happy and relaxed. Not only will you sleep deeper, but this may reduce your overall stress levels. I saw some articles saying that you also reduce the chance of Type II Diabetes and other health conditions. This seems questionable in and of itself, but it is known that approximately 70% of illnesses are stress-related. Regardless, at the minimum, I'm quite sure that if you enjoy this, you will feel less stressed and more emotionally stable at a basic level.
8. Quality Sleep
You'll also probably consequently get higher quality sleep in general. Sure, you may not be able to get in the whole eight hours, but you can do wonders for youreslf by optimizing how well you sleep. You'll wake up more rested and indirectly perhaps even better the quality of your life in general, as a result.
What Girls & Guys Said
17 20I always sleep naked much more comfie and my body is able to breath.
We do -- together.
erm... i don't get why it's wrong bar some conservative morality...
Yeeeah no. I'm good.
Why so quick and blunt to reject? Just curious so I can see the other side.
I know I wouldn't like it. Besides I don't exactly agree with the points you made.
I sleep just with underwear on.. close enough?
Close... but there is certainly a difference. One of the major advantages of going total nude is as I said, your genitals get a lot more ventilation. And you might like the feeling of the sheets lightly touching against your dick (pussy for women). Most, like I said, get horny and end up masturbating as a result.
AwWwW Yeah..
I always sleep naked
can't seem to do it :/ its probably easier for woman but for me i wake up with my nuts twisted up or one nut squashed under a lag :/ witch is a wonderful thing to wake up to :(
i usually sleep with just my panties on when its not too cold in my room and im with my man. i agree with the article because it really does heighten our sex drive and sometimes we have a little romp before the zzzs. its great though because he loves to rest his hand on my breast when we spoon naked and we fall asleep just like that. once a month though is when i prefer to keep my clothes on if you get what i mean.
I sort of go back and forth on this, it really depends on my mood.
I love PJ's and I have an entire drawer full. What you said about binding clothing- obviously you've never had the right PJ's. Putting them on after a long day is SO comfortable and relaxing.
But I do enjoy sleeping naked now and again, it is comfortable and definitely helps you regulate your body temp. But, being as I have roommates, I still have to keep something by the bed to throw on if I need to get up in the middle of the night.
It also takes me time get comfortable sleeping naked with a guy I'm dating, a few weeks after we first sleep together usually. And there's a time of the month where sleeping naked is just not practical...
Anyway, I'd say I'm about 50/50 on it.
I actually like PJ's too and they're my favorite to wear throughout the day (if I can't be nude). Thanks for sharing!
All that tells you is the sleeping habits of people who shop at Anna's Linens. Forgive me for stereotyping but they don't scream 'Comfortable being naked', it screams boring middle class.
I'm sure a poll taken from various other sources and clientele lists then you would have a totally different percentage.
I sleep in the nude, it isn't weird and I do it all year round. All my previous partners have done as well as well as many of my friends. I don't understand why it would be weird for singles as YourFutureEx said, nor do I think it would make your sheets particularly dirty (unless you normally defecate in your PJ's, not something I'd be keen to do personally but each to their own). I washmy sheets quite often so it doesn't bother me, plus sweat comes through PJ's (which will make you sweat more anyway!) so I don't think it would have a dreadfully noticeable effect on hygiene.
You said some of my thoughts about some of the ridiculous things others have said on this topic. Agree with you 100%.
@Red_Arrow viva la naked sleepers! Down with pyjama's. Up with nudey sleeping!
Plus the kids thing isn't a problem, I think kids should be perfectly fine with seeing their parents naked. Of course it gets to an age where they don't want to but up until then the odd accidental glimpse shouldn't be a problem.
I've been with you sleeping naked most of my life. Er... Oh, you know what I mean.
Thank you for your feedback and I completely agree. Its great.
@Red_Arrow Oh so that's who that was!
@OpinionOwner - Your post about the kids was going on the same time as my last post so I missed it then. I agree with that also. You seem pretty at ease and I like your thinking. Keep it up.
I sleep naked every night, best feeling ever
I like wearing pj's to bed (comfy t shirt and shorts). The only time I enjoy sleeping in the nude is when I'm with my boyfriend.
I would love to sleep nude but I tend to sweat in my sleep a fair bit.
The other prob is if I sleep naked with my wife I get really horny and don't sleep so well as I just wanna keep waking her up to have sex..
She is the same woman wearing the same clothes regardless of whether you are wwearing something. So why do you attack her when you are nude?
Usually we either sleep naked together or clothed together, hmm.
@Red_Arrow It just gets my mind going, that's all! Can't help it.
I've got to float this idea by my girlfriend...
You should show her this take... lol
Just cuddle after sex and fall asleep. That way you will both be nude through the night.
I already sleep nude and it's amazing!!
Isn't it? I am curious though. Are you in college? If so, did you have any issues with roommates?
