Sleeping naked also means that your body can maintain optimal body temperature, this prevents tossing and turning throughout the night leading to better sleep.

Melatonin and growth hormones, which contribute to anti-ageing and skin health, are successfully released when your body temperature is lowered; By wearing no clothes to bed you help your body temperature remain lower.

4. Helps you regulate cortisol

When you sleep naked it helps to keep your body at optimal temperature for creating and regulating cortisol. If you sleep overheated your cortisol levels tend to stay high, even after you wake up. This can lead to increased anxiety, cravings for bad food, weight gain, and more terrible things.

Wearing underwear actually isn't great for your genital health. An associate scientist at UCLA says trapping your genitals in the moist environment, created when you sleep wearing underwear, makes them more prone to bacterial infections like jockstrap itch and yeast infections.
