Be it physical, mental or financial, there are plenty of perks to sleeping naked with your partner. Going to sleep naked is one of the little/simple things that can boost one’s marriage as this can perform wonders.

If you have ever dreamt about not wearing your steeping shirt, this will make your rest easy. You going to bed naked is quite freeing both physically and psychologically. You baring all while sleeping with your spouse builds trust.

Let’s not beat about the bush, the first and only that can set up in a better mood is sex.

If you and your spouse regularly sleep naked beside each other, there is the possibility that you will indulge in more lovemaking than you would when wearing those restrictive nightwears. The very thought of being naked is simply sexy and appealing to your spouse. That feeling you get from skin to skin makes you feel awesome sexually,  especially,  as this skin contact releases the oxytocin hormone that increases the feeling of comfort.

Apart from making you feel aroused,  oxytocin also helps in trust issues, lowers heart rate, reduces blood pressure and simply prepares your body for sexual interaction. It has been proven scientifically that sleeping improves good health. Lying close to your husband or wife and cuddling while sleeping,  is good for your general well being. It will improve your body metabolism because your body works when you are sleeping to maintain healthy body temperature. Whether man or woman, when you sleep naked, it ‘’airs out’’ your genital, which is covered on a daily basis further creating an ideal environment conducive for bacteria and yeast infection.

There is a sleep benefit in the sense that, the couple ends up having sound sleep. Take it or leave it, having a lower body temperature while at sleep helps you rest better and this is very conducive for anti-aging hormones to do their job.
There is also the angle of sexual benefits; sleeping naked is fun on its own. What better way to end the day other than skin to skin contact with your partner. It is a very cozy way to feel intimate with your spouse.

There is a universal truth that going to bed together as a couple does not determine equal relationship harmony, especially when you consider the aspect of snoring and tussling over who gets the duvet, these and others pitfall affect sound sleep with your spouse. Irrespective of these failings, there are perks you can take advantage of to enhance happiness in your marriage, not just in sharing a bed but in going to bed nude.

There is a new survey from Cotton USA which found that couples who sleep in the nude are happier than their clothed counterparts. Also, Stephanie Thiersratcliffe, of Cotton USA, suggested that such nudity,  encourages openness and intimacy and therefore,  leads to greater happiness between partners.

Letting your vagina air out overnight by sleeping nude can help keep you healthy and clean. As Nicole Prause, an Associate Research Scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles, told Medical Daily, sleeping naked reduces the ability of those bacteria to ‘’overwhelm the normal healthy vaginal Flora’’.

Aside the fact that going to bed naked is a kind of easy way, obviously all that skin to skin contact helps to promote the cuddle hormone and other feel-good chemicals which will put you in the mood for sex, a very satisfying one that can result in orgasms.

Guys who sleep naked allow their testes to stay at cooler overall temperature as this will get the sperm happy and the reproductive system working normally. Gentlemen, if you are trying for a baby, sleeping naked with your spouse might just be all you need to improve your sperm count.

If you are feeling a little down, sleep nude to reinvigorate your love life; you will gain in more ways than one. Know that there is no biblical command that says couples have to be modest with each other. Actually,  modesty is always framed in public context, where it is indeed important.

Proverbs 5:19, tells husbands to find satisfaction or delight in their wives’ breasts – which is somewhat difficult if she keeps them under lock and key, or layers of clothes. And in Songs of Songs, the lovers take great care to describe one another’s bodies in detail [read 4:1-7, 5:10-16, 7:1-9] including parts that could only be exposed when unclothed.
According to a survey conducted by Cotton USA, an internationally licensed trademark for quality U.S.  Cotton – rich products, the naked truth to a happier relationship is sleeping naked which encourages physical and emotional intimacy between couples. Almost all experts seem to agree that sleeping nude increases likelihood of sexual intimacy.
