Experts weigh in on reasons to put away clothes before bed
Anyone who likes to sleep without clothes already knows this, but for those who haven’t joined the practice yet, there are reasons to get started. It’s just that leaving your clothes aside when you go to bed actually has benefits.
One of them refers to love affairs. According to gynecologist Marcelo Cavalcante, a specialist in human reproduction, the act of sleeping naked can bring couples closer together and increase intimate contact. The direct consequence is the improvement of sexuality among those involved in the relationship.
For women there are also benefits from a gynecological point of view. “According to some studies, sleeping without underwear, in this case panties, can reduce the risk of developing a genital infection such as candidiasis,” the doctor points out in an interview with Terra.
Not everything is scientific
On the other hand, there are no studies demonstrating the alleged improvement in sleep quality. What is known is that, as night approaches, melatonin increases and the temperature drops.
“Being too hot at night interferes with sleep. The hotter it gets, the higher the adrenaline stimulus. If it cools the body, it helps the onset of sleep,” said sleep medicine specialist Dalva Poyares. according to the G1 portal.
Hence the impression that wearing pajamas can disturb sleep, but the specialist believes that it is also necessary to consider the material of the sheet and pillowcase, the temperature and climate of the room.
The benefits of sleeping naked for the skin are also not considered. The publication quotes the dermatologist Ligia Novais, who only confirms the existence of advantages in leaving the feet uncovered. As indicated by the specialist, this is due to the fact that this part of the body is already wetter and the area between the toes, for example, has a higher risk of awakening the manifestation of fungi.
