    More reasons to sleep naked

    bh’s Liv has always been a big advocate of sleeping naked, but now there is an actual health reason for stripping off in the sack.

    According to a US study in the Diabetes journal, sleeping in the nude could lower your risk of getting diabetes.
    Senior author Francesco S. Celi said that over time, the study showed that sleeping in a cold bedroom could lessen the risk of diabetes by increasing the volume of calorie-burning ‘brown fat’ and improving insulin sensitivity.

    In addition to this, sleeping naked may also prevent women from developing yeast infections, such as thrush (which loves warm, restricted environments).

    But if that’s not enough incentive to go starkers (or at least wear something looser) in bed, consider how people who sleep naked also have happier love lives.

    Yep, according to a survey of 1,000 British adults by a bed sheet company this year, 57 per cent of nude sleepers were happy with their relationship compared to 48 per cent of pyjama wearers and 43 per cent of nightie wearers. (FYI, onesie wearers were just 38 per cent.)

    Now those are some stats you just can’t argue with!

    Would you sleep naked or do you prefer your PJs?

    Living in Qld.........that's mainly how we have to sleep but we do wear loose boxer shorts for hubby and loose undies for me......you never know if when you might have to get out of the house quick :-)

    I prefer my pjs

    Simply HATE not having a nice nightie on - can't sleep comfortably in the nude, never have been able to.

    I've done it over the years & really liked it, but since having kids I find it's not so practical.

    The only thing you'll find me sleeping in is a g-string. I will however cover up if I have people over but this is only ever something light and loose :)

    I prefer sleeping in PJs or at least underwear but as its getting hotter I might give it a try.

    Tee631 28 Nov 2014 3:01 AM

    great tips!

    Joole 28 Nov 2014 2:41 AM

    I'm happy either way

    Marza 28 Nov 2014 2:40 AM

    still I would not

    Seezora 28 Nov 2014 2:25 AM

    I'm new to breastfeeding and I leak. That would be a Hells no from hubby and me on sleeping naked ;D

    lol love this topic! I personally sleep better with socks on - just do - must be something to do with keeping my feet warm and feeling 'secure' while I sleep?!

    ModernSnowWhite 27 Nov 2014 9:38 PM

    I do prefer my pjs, but that's not to say that in summer time I don't mind :)

    I wear pjs or a nightie, but I like a cool bedroom. In summer I have the fan going all night.

    More places to get bitten by mozzies!

    Gotta love sleeping naked, especially in the queensland heat

    CherryBlossom 27 Nov 2014 12:50 PM

    I get cold regardless of what the temperature is but I'd like to try this out.

    Arty Girl 27 Nov 2014 12:34 PM

    I'd wear my PJ's in Winter. In Summer, I'd sleep naked if I have a gorgeous man beside me; preferably my husband !!! LOL !!!

    Beautybabe140194 27 Nov 2014 12:32 PM

    Interesting, I feel more comfortable in clothes though

    Haniibee44 27 Nov 2014 11:36 AM

    I've tried it but when I woke up I was so damn confused and almost went out my bedroom door without anything on out of habit. Will definitely not be doing that again. haha

    I'm a PJ girl - the closest I'll get to sleeping naked is topless if it's a really warm night & wearing any clothing aside from a pair of undies is too hot. Couldn't do it during winter, I'd freeze!

    bmill229 27 Nov 2014 10:58 AM

    Great article, I will try this.

    skitzkitty 27 Nov 2014 10:41 AM

    Marilyn Monroe did it best - wearing just a dab of Chanel No. 5 to bed ;)

    talk-a-lot 27 Nov 2014 10:39 AM

    I am a pj girl, I prefer to be covered.

    bebeautiful34 27 Nov 2014 10:33 AM

    Not sure why BH keeps insisting we sleep naked, but I've definitely leaving my undies on as a minimum!
