According to a study done by the National Sleep Foundation, only 12% of people actually sleep naked. As for the rest? Well, they are missing out on a significant mental health boost. Feeling good in your own skin increases confidence which is excellent for the mind and psychological well-being.

When sleeping unclothed, you will inadvertently look at your exposed body more, and it will teach you to become more comfortable in your skin. Time to practice some self-love. Be bold and give sleeping in the nude a try!

If you suffer from high blood pressure, listen up: dozing off undressed with a partner can actually help lower blood pressure because skin-to-skin contact releases oxytocin – the “love” hormone.

This hormone has been linked to the reduction of blood pressure and normalizing heart rates. Oxytocin also has the power to relax the body and reduce stress. So grab your better half and cuddle up under the blankets!
