Sleep is one of the most important things we can do for ourselves. From getting the right amount of zzzs to it being a peaceful rest, it’s a game-changer. But if you want to step it up, why not sleep naked? Because in case you didn’t know, there are some benefits to it.

1. It’s easier
Less pajamas to buy and less clothes to launder. Sure, you'll have to wash your sheets a little more often, but not as often as you'd have to wash your PJs when you've run out.

2. You’re less lazy
You know how when you walk in the door after a long day and the first thing you do is take off your bra, change into pajamas and use that as an excuse to do nothing for the rest of the evening? By keeping your regular clothes on, you might do more, go out more often and be generally less sedentary.

5. It can help your skin
Instead of being trapped in the confines of stifling flannel and cotton undies, your privates, armpits, feet and other body parts that don't often see the light of day get a chance to air out and breathe.

7. It makes summer sleeping more bearable
You don't have to have the air conditioning pumping (heck, you might not even have it on all the time), nor do you have to toss and turn and don't have to play the broken record of throwing the covers off you when you're hot, then pulling them back on when you feel a chill.
