Until recently, sleeping as we came into the world was unthinkable . However, studies carried out by scientists around the world motivate to get under the sheets without pajamas .

An investigation carried out by the University of Rochester, for example, affirms that sleeping lightly facilitates the body 's thermal balance , maintaining a low temperature. This allows a refreshing rest.

When people sleep too wrapped up they tend to sweat at night. Some manage to settle down, while others need to interrupt their break to change their shirt, pants and even underwear.

That abrupt cut off from rest will bring consequences the next day: tiredness, headache, changes in mood.

In cities like Quito , experts suggest trying it when the city's climate allows it, to avoid colds or flu . If you do, remember to change the sheets every day.

Fewer infections and irritations

Another reason to try to join this proposal is shared by the perinatologist gynecologist-obstetrician María De Lourdes Vaca . This specialist assures that underwear made with synthetic material increases the risk of infections ; further raises the temperature in the vaginal territory.

“There is no scientific basis that says that sleeping naked is the solution, but it is true that there is more humidity in that area and that increases the risk of infections.”

For this reason, she also suggests the use of loose underwear made of cotton. She applies to men and women.

vigorous sperm

A new study, carried out by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, in Maryland (USA), and by Stanford University, ensures that men who sleep naked can improve the quality of their sperm.

Research has shown that sleeping in tight pajamas can harm sperm production.

According to scientists, this is because tight clothing increases the temperature of the testicles , which can lead to sperm deterioration.

Therefore, wearing loose underwear during the day and no clothing at night provides a 25% decrease in sperm DNA fragmentation, compared to those wearing tight clothing.

It also lowers the risk of diabetes

A study published in the journal Diabetes concluded that sleeping in a cool (not cold) room lowers the risk of diabetes. That is due, according to the National Sleep Foundation of the United States, which also ruled on the matter, because sleeping in these cool environments causes greater stability of blood sugar levels and better sensitivity to insulin.
