    skin-to-skin contact is not only therapeutic, but a great form of medicine for both your mind and your body.

    1: Lots and lots of bacteria, virus and fungus on people’s skin that spread with contact.

    2: If it’s hot, touching someone’s clammy skin is not therapeutic. Not only can it be a disgusting feel, but prolonged contact can give rashes.

    3: Many if not most people fart in their sleep. Farting without underwear means spraying tiny little particles of fecal matter into the air, onto the linen, or onto a partner.

    Other reasons against:

    4: It stops you from scratching your anus in your sleep.

    5: It’s too darn cold in many parts of the world. If you already feel cold with PJs and a down comforter, becoming naked won’t help.

    6: You do not want to be woken up by a kitten playing with your penis, or a wet dog nose on your arse.

    Sleeping naked definitely keeps your body cooler than sleeping in clothes, obviously, but it’s that slight temperature difference that can lead to deeper, more restful, and uninterrupted sleep.

    OK, weirdos who like to be cold while you sleep. I’m over here in my flannel jammies under my down comforter.

    Yes I know it’s summer.

      This is where it helps to have a romantic partner who throws off a ton of waste heat. Just use [pronoun reflecting your preference] as a human space heater.

      God, I bet you are also the same type of woman whose feet turn to icicles and then you want to dig them into other people for “warmth”.

      Stay the hell away from me!

    Works great until the kids start running into the room on Saturday mornings and jumping on the bed.

      That’s why your bedroom door should have a lock. Your little cherubs will be surprised the first time they can’t barge into your room at will, but they’ll get over it. And you’ll get to actually finish a round of weekend morning sex for a change.

      Just arrange a couple of ‘mommy-daddy wrestling matches a la 50 Shades’ when they pop in. They’ll be so traumatized they’ll never step foot in your room again.

    Two reasons not to sleep naked: winter, and housemates.

    helping you stay cool while you rest

    In an interesting twist, sleeping wearing less or nothing can help keep you warm as well. This was just some advice I got about camping: If you dress too warmly while sleeping in the cold you might start to sweat. If you sweat, you will get wet. And anyone who knows about camping in the cold knows that being wet in the cold is a very bad thing.

    So when camping in the cold, it helps to wear either just underwear or naked in a sleeping bag appropriate for the current weather. Let the sleeping bag do the work of keeping you warm; not your clothes.

      Yep, this. I used to camp in the badlands, and they can get really chilly overnight in the early fall. I put my clothes for the morning at the foot of my sleeping bag and slept naked. Once your body temperature warmed up the sleeping bag, it was incredibly comfortable. Other people in camp would be grousing about how coldly they slept - not me. (I did not mention I was sleeping naked because I was the only woman in camp - didn’t need that aggravation.)

      Clothes mess with my temperature way more than blankets do, too. If I bundle up, I’m in and out of the blankets trying to regulate. Dress down cooler, to shorts or boxers only and I can just wrap up with the appropriate blanket for the weather and stay an even temperature all night.

    If I don’t put my underwear back on after sex I can’t sleep for the... moistness.

    Anyway, that’s my contribution.

      If you initiate sex, you can keep the wet spot on your partner’s side.

      You can also keep a towel or pad close enough to reach. Night stands with more than one drawer are highly recommended.

      I use hormonal bc and have been with the same partner for 11 years, so we don’t use condoms. I’m talking more about a slow ooze situation. Mmmmmm, sexy!

      I may consider keeping a hand towel in the nightstand, though, that’s good advice. Thanks!

    Ummm, why all the negative comments? Nobody has ever slept naked? Sure it’s not suitable to do it all the time. Some living arrangements outright make it impossible. I say if you can, do it.

    I always sleep naked. Sure, the mattress store complained, but I’m the one buying the damn thing! The customer is always right.
