The Many Health Benefits of Sleeping Naked

|

By Dr. Mercola​

Can sleeping naked improve your sleep and health? Evidence suggests that, yes, ditching your sleepwear may in fact have a number of benefits, including better sleep. Interestingly enough, a mere 8 percent of Americans admit to sleeping naked.1

Many of these health benefits result from the fact that sleeping naked helps prevent overheating, which can have a significant impact on your sleep quality. As you fall asleep, your body temperature drops, and this drop in core temperature actually helps you sleep better.
As you wake, your body temperature rises, which is why it's much more difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep when you're hot.
Many keep their homes too warm to begin with, and wearing pajamas to bed will make you even warmer, which can lead to restless sleep and frequent waking. Ideally, keep the temperature in your bedroom below 70 degrees F. Studies show that the optimal room temperature for sleep is between 60 to 68 degrees.

One study showed a surface skin temperature difference of as little as 0.08 degrees F (or 0.4 degrees C) allowed subjects to sleep more soundly. But the benefits of sleeping in the buff don't end there.
Surprising Health Benefits of Sleeping Naked

Other health benefits of sleeping naked include:2,3,4,5
[TABLE="class: generic-table left-align"]
[TR]
[TD="align: left"]

Improved metabolism​

Lowering your body temperature helps activate brown fat — a type of body fat that helps regulate your body temperature by generating heat.
Research shows that people with higher levels of brown fat have faster resting metabolic rates, better blood sugar control and higher insulin sensitivity. In one study, sleeping in a chilled room doubled the amount of brown fat participants produced.6[/TD]

[TR]
[TD="align: left"]

Improved blood circulation​

Without clothing your blood flow is less restricted, which benefits your entire body, especially your heart and muscles.[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: left"]

Healthier skin and private parts​

Bacteria thrive in warm, moist areas, so ditching clothing, including underwear, can be particularly beneficial for women prone to yeast infections. Other areas, including your armpits (and skin in general) also benefit from being able to breathe.[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: left"]

Improved sperm quality​

Men can also benefit from sleeping "commando." A man's testicles are designed to keep sperm at a temperature just slightly below core body temperature. Underwear that bunch the testicles close to the body may therefore reduce sperm quality and affect a man's fertility.[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: left"]

Improved sex life​

Skin-to-skin contact (as well as orgasm) releases the "bonding" hormone oxytocin, which promotes feelings of attachment and emotional closeness. Since sexual contact typically occurs while naked, sleeping in the nude raises the chances of sex, which can bring a couple closer.[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: left"]

Balancing hormones​

By allowing your body to stay cooler at night, sleeping naked helps decrease cortisol, increase growth hormone and balance melatonin, all of which help promote healthy sleep patterns and reduce anxiety, stress and food cravings.[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]
Improving Your Sleep Helps Improve Brain Health

Besides information on sleeping in the nude, the Global Council on Brain Health recently issued a number of daytime, evening and nighttime recommendations that can help you get more quality sleep, which is important for brain detoxification (which only occurs during deep sleep) and cognitive health. These tips include:7,8
[TABLE="class: generic-table left-align"]
[TR]
[TD="align: left"]

Keep a regular morning and evening routine​

Get up at the same time every day, seven days a week, and keep a regular bedtime routine. When you establish a consistent, soothing bedtime routine, you're more likely to fall asleep easily. Activities such as a warm bath, reading a good book or relaxation exercises can be helpful.
Keeping a regular exercise schedule will also help optimize your sleep cycle. Seek to get to bed before 10 p.m. if possible to optimize your chronobiological cycles.[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: left"]

Avoid stimulants​

Restrict fluids and food for at least three hours before bedtime. Avoiding dinner at least three hours before bed will also promote mitochondrial health, as explained in my previous article, "Two Meals a Day Is Ideal."
Avoid alcohol and nicotine four to six hours before going to bed, and if you're sensitive to caffeine, avoid drinking coffee and caffeine-containing drinks after lunch. (Extremely sensitive people may even need to abstain from chocolate in the afternoon/evening.)[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: left"]

Remove electronics from your bedroom​

This includes TVs, telephones, computers and tablets, as the blue light emitted from electronic screens suppress melatonin production, making sleep elusive.[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: left"]

Limit daytime naps to less than 30 minutes​

[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: left"]

Avoid evening stress​

In the evening, avoid getting into heated arguments and limit "worry time" to 15 minutes in the morning instead of ruminating all night. Also put all your work away at least an hour or two before bed. You need a chance to unwind before falling asleep without being anxious about the next day's plans or deadlines.[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: left"]

Make your bedroom a pet-free zone​

While many enjoy having pets sleep with them, allowing pets in your bed can disrupt your sleep.[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: left"]

Optimize your light exposure, day and night​

In the morning and early afternoon, expose yourself to bright daylight to anchor and synchronize your circadian clock and melatonin production. Bright light exposure during the day is particularly important if you have trouble falling asleep at night or suffer from insomnia.
In general it is best to avoid blue light sources, such as LEDs and electronics, as blue light suppresses melatonin production. This is especially important after sunrise.
These light sources become less troublesome if you use a good filter on your computer screen. My favorite is Iris, which was developed by a Bulgarian programmer named Daniel Georgiev.
He recently gave a TEDx talk that describes this very inexpensive program. He's also developed a version for iPads.

Swap out the light bulbs you use most regularly and replace them with clear incandescent light bulbs. Candles are an even healthier light source, as our ancestors have been using them for many thousands of years.
Another solution I've found that I think works even better is to simply wear amber-colored glasses that block blue light in the evening. I found an Uvex model (S1933X) on Amazon that costs less than $9.

Once you have your glasses on, it doesn't matter what light sources you have on in your house. The moment sunrise comes, I put on these glasses and I have noticed dramatic improvement since doing this.
My vision has radically improved and at 62 years of age, I don't require reading glasses.[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: left"]

Keep bedroom dark, cool and quiet​

In addition to lowering the thermostat, make your bedroom as dark and quiet as possible. Research shows even very dim light exposure during sleep can have adverse effects on your brain function. Ideally, install blackout curtains, or use an eye mask.[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]
Sleep Is Essential for Optimal Health

Sleep affects your health in a myriad of ways. The Global Council on Brain Health naturally places a significant focus on the brain, but sleep is important for your entire body. As for how much sleep you need, research shows most adults need right around eight hours of sleep each night for optimal health and disease prevention. Children and teens need more. Lack of sleep, or poor quality sleep, has been linked to:
[TABLE="class: generic-table left-align"]

[/TR]
[/TABLE]
Why Sleeping Pills Are Best Avoided

The Global Council on Brain Health also warns against the use of sleeping pills, noting the potential for side-effects, especially for older individuals. Studies have also shown they do little to actually help you sleep more or improve the quality of your sleep. Belsomra, for example, has been shown to help you fall asleep only six minutes sooner than a placebo (on average) and stay asleep just 16 minutes longer — and that was in the company's own clinical trials.10

Meanwhile, nearly 1,000 consumer complaints against Belsomra were filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) between February and July 2015 alone. Many complained the drug didn't work. Sleep paralysis, next-day drowsiness and even suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts were reported.

An analysis of studies financed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) found that sleeping pills like Ambien, Lunesta and Sonata reduced the average time it takes to fall asleep by about 13 minutes compared to placebo, while increasing total sleep time by about 11 minutes.
Interestingly, participants believed they had slept longer, by up to one hour. This is thought to be due to anterograde amnesia, which causes trouble with forming memories. When people wake up after taking sleeping pills, they may simply forget they'd been unable to sleep.

A startling study11 published in 2012 also revealed that people who take sleeping pills have a 35 percent higher risk for certain cancers, and are nearly 400 percent more likely to die than people who don't take them. Remarkably, this association held true even if the patients took fewer than 18 sleeping pills a year, equating to taking just one sleeping pill every three weeks. Other health risks associated with sleeping pills include:

[TABLE="class: generic-table left-align, width: 731"]
[TR]
[TD="align: left"]An increased risk for insulin resistance, food cravings, weight gain and diabetes[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: left"]Amnesia, even of events that occurred during the day[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: left"]Depression, confusion, disorientation and/or hallucinations[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: left"]Increased risk of accidents. Studies submitted to the FDA reveal blood levels of zolpidem (found in Ambien and other sleeping pills) above 50 ng/mL may impair your driving, especially among women.12
Sleep aids that contain Benadryl can have a half-life of about 18 hours, so if you take them every night, you're basically sedated for a large portion of the day as well, resulting in cognitive deficits and accident proneness[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: left"]Increased risk for dementia in seniors[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: left"]Parasomnias13 — bizarre behavioral reactions, including sleepwalking and engaging in potentially embarrassing or dangerous tasks while fast asleep, such as driving, having sex, eating (including bizarre things like buttered cigarettes, salt sandwiches or raw bacon), texting or tweeting14,15[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]
For Optimal Health, Prioritize Sleep

Increasing the number of hours you sleep to eight each night and improving the quality of your sleep may significantly improve your overall health, and help reduce your risk for any number of physical and psychological problems. Remember that in order to optimize your sleep, you have to go to bed early enough. If you have to be up by 6:30 a.m., going to bed after midnight is a recipe for sleep deprivation.
Many fitness trackers can now track both daytime body movement and sleep, allowing you to get a better picture of how much sleep you're actually getting.

Certain ones can even tell you which activities led to your best sleep and what factors resulted in poor sleep. If you struggle with sleep issues, it may be a worthwhile investment. For even more tips to help you clean up your sleep hygiene and improve your sleep, see my previous article, "Want a Good Night's Sleep? Then Never Do These Things Before Bed."

 

[JosephsDreams]

Besides sleeping with no barrier between you and you covers,

sleep with your lap top, tablet, cell phone at least 20 feet away from you. In another (unoccupied) room is even better.
Sleeping near them messes with your melatonin, which means less restorative sleep, which equals a decreased immune system and and also more moodiness.

Even a digital alarm clock should be at least 5 feet away. Same with modern TV's.

Restless Quest for Sleep

January 19, 2017 |

By Dr. Mercola
On any given night, about half of Americans toss and turn, unable to fall asleep or stay asleep.1 Lacking in this fundamental human necessity takes a heavy toll, raising the risk of chronic diseases, obesity and premature death while costing the U.S. economy up to $411 billion a year in lost productivity alone.2

Needless to say, a tried-and-true solution to the epidemic of not sleeping, especially one that doesn't involve taking risky and often-addictive sleeping pills, could yield immeasurable benefits to society. Tech devices are among the newest additions in the battle against insomnia, but they're also increasingly popular — and expanding.

There's Sense, the product of a 2014 Kickstarter campaign that raised $2.4 million, which uses sensors to collect your tosses, turns and other sleep data, which are then analyzed via a smartphone app to give you personalized insights into your sleep.3
Other tech-based devices to help people get more of the elusive "shut-eye" include the Sleep Shepherd headband, which monitors your brain waves while you sleep and, one of my favorites, Muse, which is a personal meditation assistant that promotes relaxation. When used before bedtime, it may help lull you into a restful night's sleep.
Can Technology Help People Sleep Better?

There are many anecdotal reports of sleep trackers and apps helping people to get more sleep, but the reality is many of these products are so new that longer-term studies proving their effectiveness have yet to be done.
It's ironic, too, that technology is being used to cure sleep troubles that may be caused by the same technological advances; use of smartphones, computers and tablets after dark is a leading contributor to insomnia because their blue light interferes with melatonin production that's important for restful sleep (and other health benefits, like cancer prevention).

Still, while there are hundreds of apps to track your sleeping habits, many do so successfully without interfering with sleep. Fitness-tracking wristbands, such as Jawbone's UP3, tell you what activities led to your best sleep and what factors resulted in poor sleep.
There are also smart mattresses and mattress pads that track your sleep and provide reports so you can adjust your sleeping habits accordingly. Some even claim to help users regulate their body temperature during sleep.

Once you're armed with empirical data, it's then up to you to make changes to support your sleep. No app or other sleep device can do that for you.
There's also the issue of how accurate these devices really are, which Hawley Montgomery-Downs, Ph.D., a sleep expert and an associate professor of psychology at West Virginia University, believes has much room for improvement.
She told The New York Times, "Sleep sensors are feeding back inaccurate information … They're telling people they sleep better than they do."4

Smart Sleep Devices Gather Your Data — and Then What?

I've found sleep trackers to be useful for revealing the actual time I spend asleep (as opposed to the time spent in bed), which allowed me to adjust my bedtime to get my desired number of sleep hours each night.
But others have found their data collection to be less useful, for instance letting the user know that they wake up in the middle of the night, something the user already knew. There are now smart pillowcases, smart pajama belts, bed sensors and smart alarm clocks, all of which promise to give you detailed reports on how you sleep.

But while knowing your precise minutes of REM sleep, light sleep and other odds and ends that occur during sleep is arguably intriguing, it's not going to help you feel more rested or translate into helping you fall asleep faster.
Ultimately, the data needs to be translated into a platform that gives users useful personalized feedback and advice that translates into a better night's rest.

Still, in the meantime, having access to your sleep data could prompt you to pay more attention to your sleeping habits. At least one study has found activity trackers to be useful in the realm of sleep, with users reporting 30 minutes more sleep per night after a year of use.5
Study author Laura Pugliese, deputy director of innovation research at New York-based Healthcare Innovation & Technology Lab, told STAT, "People didn't realize how little they were sleeping, and it wasn't until it was in front of them and aggregated that they realized."6
Online Insomnia Therapy Puts Insomniacs to Sleep

Another way technology may help fight insomnia is via online therapy programs. One recent start-up company created an online sleep improvement program called Sleepio, which features a virtual therapist, for instance.7
Cognitive behavior therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is considered the gold standard treatment for insomniacs, but specialists in this area are hard to come by and many do not receive treatment. An online program could provide a way for people to get the help they need from anywhere with a working internet connection.

In a study published in JAMA Psychiatry, more than half of people with chronic insomnia reported sleeping better within weeks of starting the online program and most were sleeping better one year later.8 According to the study:

"In this randomized clinical trial of 303 adults with chronic insomnia, those who received the internet cognitive behavior therapy for insomnia intervention (Sleep Healthy Using the Internet [SHUTi]) had significantly improved sleep compared with those who received access to the patient education website, with 56.6 percent achieving insomnia remission status and 69.7 percent deemed treatment responders at [one] year."


​

Misuse of Over-the-Counter Sleep Aids Common

Beyond tech devices, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs are a popular crutch used by many desperate for a good night's sleep. Yet, these medications can be dangerous, particularly when used for longer periods of time, a common practice according to a 2015 Consumer Reports survey.9
The survey included more than 4,000 Americans, 20 percent of whom had used an OTC medication for the purpose of improving sleep within the past year. Eighteen percent of them used such drugs daily, and 41 percent used the drugs for a year or more.
The OTC drugs in question include Advil PM, Nytol, Simply Sleep, Sominex, Tylenol PM, Unisom SleepMinis, ZzzQuil and others, which include the active ingredient diphenhydramine, an antihistamine that can lead to next-day drowsiness and problems with coordination and driving performance, along with constipation, dizziness and confusion.

The drug is only meant to be used for short periods of time (not longer than two weeks), as longer use can be habit-forming, leading to psychological dependence. Despite this, many of the drug packages advertise them as being "non-habit-forming."
One study also linked its long-term use to an increased risk of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease.10
Many of the medications also contain other drugs, such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen, which carry other risks, including gastrointestinal problems, ulcers and liver damage.

Considering the steep physical risks — and the mental and emotional toll chronic insomnia can take — you may be willing to try anything, even sleeping pills, to get some sound sleep.
However, psychotherapy, specifically CBT-I, which helps people change their thoughts and behaviors regarding sleep, has been proven to be more effective than drugs.

In a set of reviews commissioned by the American College of Physicians (ACP), CBT-I was the clear winner, helping to relieve insomnia with minimal side effects, as opposed to insomnia medications, which carried sometimes-severe risks.11
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) also recommends psychotherapy as a first-line treatment for insomnia. In this way, technology, namely online CBT-I therapy, may prove beneficial in helping people avoid the pitfalls of sleeping pills, including OTC varieties.

What Else Works for a Good Night's Sleep?

If you're having trouble sleeping, I suggest reading my Guide to a Good Night's Sleep for 33 tips on improving your sleep. While tracking your sleeping patterns and time spent asleep may be helpful for some people, getting back to the basics of improving your sleeping environment is also important.
No. 1 on my list? Avoid exposure to blue light, including LEDs, after sunset. Wearing blue-blocking glasses is a simple way to achieve this. Further:

[TABLE="class: generic-table left-align, width: 731"]
[TR]
[TD="align: left"]Avoid watching TV or using your computer/smartphone or tablet in the evening, at least an hour or so before going to bed.[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: left"]Make sure you get BRIGHT sun exposure regularly. Your pineal gland produces melatonin roughly in approximation to the contrast of bright sun exposure in the day and complete darkness at night. If you are in darkness all day long, it can't appreciate the difference and will not optimize your melatonin production.

[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: left"]Get some sun in the morning. Your circadian system needs bright light to reset itself. Ten to 15 minutes of morning sunlight will send a strong message to your internal clock that day has arrived, making it less likely to be confused by weaker light signals during the night.

[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: left"]Sleep in complete darkness, or as close to it as possible. Even the tiniest glow from your clock radio could be interfering with your sleep, so cover your clock radio up at night or get rid of it altogether. Move all electrical devices at least 3 feet away from your bed. You may want to cover your windows with drapes or blackout shades, or wear an eye mask when you sleep.

[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: left"]Install a low-wattage yellow, orange or red light bulb if you need a source of light for navigation at night. Light in these bandwidths does not shut down melatonin production in the way that white and blue bandwidth light does. Salt lamps are handy for this purpose, as are natural, non-toxic candles.

[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: left"]Keep the temperature in your bedroom no higher than 70 degrees F. Many people keep their homes too warm (particularly their upstairs bedrooms). Studies show that the optimal room temperature for sleep is between 60 to 68 degrees F.

[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: left"]Take a hot bath 90 to 120 minutes before bedtime. This increases your core body temperature, and when you get out of the bath it abruptly drops, signaling your body that you are ready to sleep.

[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: left"]Avoid using loud alarm clocks. Being jolted awake each morning can be very stressful. If you are regularly getting enough sleep, you might not even need an alarm, as you'll wake up naturally.

[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: left"]Be mindful of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) in your bedroom. EMFs can disrupt your pineal gland and its melatonin production, and may have other negative biological effects as well. A gauss meter is required if you want to measure EMF levels in various areas of your home.
If possible, install a kill switch to turn off all electricity to your bedroom. If you need a clock, use a battery-operated one.[/TD]

[blue_ladybug]

Interesting...

 

[Tommy379]

I've slept naked my whole life, and would prefer not to wear clothes during the day too. I don’t like how pajamas or t-shirt get twisted around while I'm sleeping.

 

[blue_ladybug]

When it's really hot in summer at night, I sleep nekkid except for my underwear.. lol

 

[Stranger36147]

I always sleep naked, even in the winter. So comfortable.

 

[JosephsDreams]

I sleep with my clothes on. I am raising two young girls. It doesn't happen much, but sometimes they have a nightmare and I find them next to me in the mornings. Or they throw up in the middle of the night. Or just wake up and can't get back to sleep. Naturally I never when that is going to happen.

I guess in another 4,5 years when they get into their early and mid teens and I can more reliably not be concerned about those incidents and I'll be able to sleep buff.

Until then, c'est la vie.

 

[blue_ladybug]

Did you know that the temperature of your feet also determines how well or badly you will sleep?

 

[Yahweh_is_gracious]

Ick. No thanks. I can barely tolerate having to be nude to bathe.

I rock jammies every night, regardless of season.

 

[JosephsDreams]

I don't have any issues getting a good nights sleep.
I see though that the writer of the above articles recommends some products. I am always in favor of telling people about healthy alternatives to pills and meds. I won't do so though if it doesn't work or is in some ways not healthy itself.
They sound like they may work. I see that at least two of them, the Muse and the Sleep Shepard use cell phone apps to operate.

See the video link
[video=youtube;9wlUjpPAN6w]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wlUjpPAN6w[/video]


I emailed the Sleep Shepard company and asked them if there product can be used with the cell phone at least 20 feet away.
And also if their product itself emits any harmful EMF's. EMR's, radiation.

 

[JosephsDreams]

Does anyone here have any experiences with lucid dreaming?
Any they want to share?

 

[blue_ladybug]

The carpet tries to swallow me whole.. lol

 

[blue_ladybug]

Speaking of sleep, does anyone use a fan or nature sounds machine, etc, to help you get to sleep? I use a fan every night. Along with a sleeping pill. lol

 

[Yahweh_is_gracious]

Speaking of sleep, does anyone use a fan or nature sounds machine, etc, to help you get to sleep? I use a fan every night. Along with a sleeping pill. lol

No. Usually the cacophony of voices in my head is enough to put me to sleep.

 

[Tommy379]

Speaking of sleep, does anyone use a fan or nature sounds machine, etc, to help you get to sleep? I use a fan every night. Along with a sleeping pill. lol

My wife does..... well now that she is gone, I find myself needing it to. I never did before I was married.

 

[JosephsDreams]

I sometimes use nature sounds.

 

[JosephsDreams]

Well that was a quick response.

"Dear Joseph,

Thank you for your email.


The Sleep Shepherd Blue will work with your phone distanced away from you without a problem. If you are interested, the SSB will also work with your phone powered off so long as you pressed start sleep on the app before you powered off your mobile device.


As for the radiation, the Sleep Shepherd Blue does not emit any.


If you have any further questions or concerns please do not hesitate to let us know.


Kind regards,


Michaela
Sleep Shepherd Support"

Maybe anyone who has trouble sleeping will be interested in this then. It is about $200 on Amazon. Not cheap, but not sky high either.
If someone is taking drugs to get to sleep, even OTC, this may be a God send, assuming it works for you. Well worth the rice if it means no more drugs for falling asleep.

 

[oldethennew]

we sleep with the bedroom windows open 365, with no heat in the house at nite...
the older we get the less we can tolerate 'false-air', especially in the stores - down here in
the south, the critter sprays alone are enough to make you sick even being
inside of a store or office for a small amount of time...

people are just not aware of 'air-quality' much anymore, for being raised inside
for most of their lives -
when we shop, as soon as we get what we need, hubby stays and pays for our stuff,
I have to hurry and get outside for being over-whelmed by the chemicals...

some of the stores are way worse than others, such as the 'small-ones' with no ventilation
and all of the chem-treated stuff bunched together...I have actually gotten sick inside of a
wal-mart when the chems were especially at peak, such as holidays when they pack all of that
color-treated garbage together...

 

[JosephsDreams]

I have a hard time in the laundry sections of a supermarket. Sometimes in the pet food too, although that may be more in my mind.
I can tell this next thing with confidence. I was not dreaming, nor hallucinating. When I was fasting and/or eating 100% raw food I was becoming way more sensitive to car fumes and bad air quality.
