We have all heard of the importance of beauty sleep, right? Well, when you have a good night’s rest, your body produces melatonin. Not only does melatonin help regulate sleep patterns, but it has magical anti-aging powers too! Who would have thought?

Getting some shut-eye bare-skinned will provide this good night’s sleep and consequently do wonders for your skin by slowing down the aging process. Other benefits of melatonin include an increase in muscle mass, calcium, and protein synthesis. You will wake up looking like a real sleeping beauty.

Sleeping well and naked will also stimulate an increase in growth hormone. The growth hormone is essential for cells, boosting the immune system, and encouraging stronger bones by improving bone density.

It can also lower your risk of developing diabetes as it regulates insulin levels. The growth hormone also helps repair tissues and muscles which is vital if you stretch and workout a lot.
