Here are five reasons every man should sleep naked. For men only, ladies over look, lol.
Shedding your threads before tucking in will help you snooze more
soundly, says Men’s Health sleep advisor W. Christopher Winter, M.D.
Your body temperature declines as you doze and climbs before you wake
up, but clothing can interfere with this natural fluctuation, Dr. Winter
says. The extra insulation can make you too hot as your temperature
drops, leading to tossing and turning and waking up sweaty in the middle
of the night. Nix the PJs and allow your body temperature to ebb and
flow uninterrupted, Dr. Winter says.
2. You’ll ignite your metabolism
Staying cool throughout the night may help rev your metabolism,
according to a 2014 study in the journal Diabetes. Researchers found
that when people slept in a chilly room, they produced double the volume
of brown fat—a healthy fat stored in your neck that burns calories to
generate body heat—compared to when they slept in a warmer room. Keeping
your body temperature lower by sleeping nude could produce the same
effect, says study author Francesco S. Celi, M.D.
3. You’ll protect your testicles
Sleeping in your underwear increases the odds that you’ll get an
infection in the worst possible place, says Brian Steixner, M.D., a
urologist based in Atlantic City, N.J. Your drawers keep heat and
moisture in—and bacteria thrive in warm, moist environments, says Dr.
Steixner. More bacteria makes for a higher likelihood that any chaffed
or irritated skin down there becomes infected, he says. Skip your
skivvies to keep your balls cleaner, drier, and healthier.
4. You’ll nurture your sperm
Your scrotum needs to be just the right temperature in order to optimize
sperm production, says Dr. Steixner. That perfect temperature: 95 to 96
degrees, just slightly cooler than the rest of your body. When your
testicles are too warm, your sperm quality suffers, according to a
Finnish study that tested the semen of men who used saunas. Even tight
underwear can be enough to raise your sack’s temperature above the
optimum level, Dr. Steixner says. So for the sake of your future
children, consider going naked.
5. You’ll get closer to your partner
Skin-on-skin contact with another person triggers the release of the
hormone oxytocin in your brain, according to Swedish researchers. The
chemical reduces stress, makes you feel more connected to your partner,
and increases your sex drive, the scientists say. And let’s state the
obvious: Brushing up against each other naked in bed often leads to good
things.
