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?
