Sleeping is one of the most important things we do every night. Getting the right amount of sleep has an untold number of health benefits and not getting enough sleep is a serious problem in many countries around the world. Did you know that you can get additional benefits by sleeping naked? Here are some benefits of sleeping in the nude:

睡觉是我们每天晚上都要进行的最重要的事情之一。适宜的睡眠量会为我们的健康带来难以计量的好处，然而缺乏睡眠也是全球许多国家面临的一项重大问题。你知道裸睡会为你带来哪些意外的好处吗？以下是一些裸睡的好处：

1. It is easier. 裸睡更简单

When you don’t have to worry about sleeping in clothes, things start to get easier. You don’t have to buy pajamas, which can save you money. You have less clothes to wash and less clothes to put away. You may have to clean your bed sheets more often, but not nearly as often as you’d have to wash your pajamas when you run out.

当你不用担心有衣服的障碍，入睡会变得更加容易。因为不需要特意去买睡衣，这也为你省了一笔钱。你需要洗的衣服更少，需要整理的衣服也更少。也许你要更加经常地清洗你的床单，但是这绝对赶不上你的睡衣需要清洗更换的次数。

2. It forces you to be ready to go more often. 裸睡逼迫你常出门走走

Some people get off of work, change into their pajamas, and use this as an excuse to stay home the rest of the evening. This can lead to a more sedentary lifestyle, which has been attributed to things like weight gain. When you keep your regular clothes on, you tend to go out more often and that’s a good thing.

有些人下班以后，回到家就换上睡衣，并以此为借口赖在家里整一晚。这会让你养成久坐不动的生活习惯，导致体重上升等等诸如此类的问题。但如果你穿着平常出门的衣服呢，你就会更加经常走出去活动，而常出去走走是一件很好的事情。

Just imagine the feeling of laying in bed naked. You’re free of your pants and underwear. Women, you’re not wearing a constrictive bra. It’s just you sandwiched between two cool sheets. The feeling just makes you want to smile and it makes you feel more free. Everyone can use that kind of good feeling every now and then, and it may even help you be happier as a person.

试着想想一下裸着躺在床上的感觉。你不用穿裤子，不用穿内衣。女人们，你们不用穿塑身内衣了！就只有你裹在上下两层凉凉的毯子中间。这种感觉只会让你想要微笑，让你感觉更加自由。我们每个人都可以经常去体验这种感觉，而这会帮助你更加体会到为人的快乐。

4. Skin-on-skin contact is the best. 肌肤和肌肤的直接接触是最美好的

If you’re married, or living with your significant other, sleeping naked gives a greater chance of skin-on-skin contact, especially when it comes to cuddling. This kind of contact can also lead to a more active sex life. All of this releases copious amounts of oxytocin, which is the neurotransmitter that helps you feel those good feelings about your significant other.

如果你已经结婚了，或者和你的另一半住在一起，特别是当你们拥抱在一起的时候，裸睡会给你们彼此带来一次无与伦比的肌肤接触初体验。这样的肌肤接触也会为你们的性爱生活增添活力。这些举动会让你释放出大量的催产素，这种神经递质会帮助你对你的伴侣产生更多的好感。

5. It could lead to better sleep. 裸睡可以让你的睡眠质量更高

Let’s revisit the scenario I described above. There are no drawstrings or clothes getting tangled in sheets. You don’t have to worry about shirts getting twisted. All of these distractions go away when you sleep naked and it may help you get better, deeper sleep. You don’t need science to tell you that better, deeper sleep only helps you be healthier.

让我们再一起来回顾一下刚才我描述过的画面吧。被子里没有松紧带，没有衣物缠在一起。你不用担心衣服会压皱变形。所有这些恼人的小心思在你裸睡的时候都会不复存在。因此你将会获得一个更好更深的睡眠。你不用怀疑科学性，一个更深更好的睡眠只会让你更加健康。

6. It can help your skin. 裸睡对你的皮肤有好处

For once your body gets to breathe. Your private parts, armpits, and feet are generally restricted all day and are often covered by multiple layers, even in the summer time. Give those parts a chance to air out and breathe. This can lower the risk of skin diseases, like athlete’s foot, that result from wet, restricted skin.

哪怕只有一次也好，让你的身体呼吸一次。你的私处，腋下，双足整天都被束缚着，甚至在炎炎夏日他们也常常被好几层布料包裹着。给这些身体部位一个暴露在空气中，自由呼吸的机会吧！裸睡可以降低患得皮肤病的风险，比如由于空气流通性差、局部潮湿导致的香港脚。

7. Helps you regulate your cortisol.裸睡帮助你调节自己的皮质醇

Cortisol is a very strange chemical in the body but it can do a lot of damage. When you sleep naked, it helps keep your body temperature at the optimal ranges so your body can better create 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. Sleep naked so you can keep your body temperature down and sleep well so your body can properly produce and regulate cortisol.

皮质醇是我们身体里一个非常奇怪的化学成分，但是它的破坏力很强大。当你裸睡的时候，你的体温会被控制在最理想的范围内，因此你的身体可以更好地分泌出皮质醇。如果你睡觉时体温过高，你的皮质醇水平也会过高，哪怕在你起床后也会如此。这样一来可能会导致焦虑，坏脾气，体重上升还有其他的负面效应。如果裸睡，那么可以让你的体温降低，睡眠质量好，因此你的身体也会分泌和调节皮质醇到适当水平。

8. Balances your melatonin and growth hormone. 裸睡可以平衡你的褪黑素和生长激素。

Continuing along that same vein, keeping your sleeping environment below 70 degrees (F) every night can help your body regulate its melatonin and growth hormone levels. These chemicals help the body do things like prevent aging and are essential to good health. When you sleep in clothes, your body heats up and prevents effective use of these hormones. In other words, sleeping with clothes on makes you grow old faster.

继续沿着相同的脉络，每晚把你的睡眠环境控制在70华氏度以下可以帮助你的身体调节褪黑素和生长激素水平。这些化学物质帮助你延缓身体衰老，他们也是健康身体的必要成分。当你穿着衣服睡觉，你的体温会上升，而这会妨碍这些荷尔蒙物质工作的有效性。换言之，穿着衣服睡觉会让你老的更快。

9. It can keep your sex organs happier.裸睡会提升性器官的愉悦感

For men, the cooler sleeping conditions allows your testes to remain at a cooler temperature. This helps keep your sperm healthy and your reproductive systems functioning as normal. For women, the cooler and more airy sleeping conditions can actually help prevent yeast infections. Yeast grows better in warm, moist conditions. When it’s cooler and dryer, the growth of yeast is prevented.

对男人们来说，温度偏低的睡眠环境可以让你的睾丸保持在低温环境中。这可以帮助你的精子保持健康水平，保护你的生殖系统的正常功能。而对于女人们来说，低温通风的睡眠环境可以预防宫颈感染。酵母在温暖，潮湿的环境中更容易生长。在低温，干燥的环境下，酵母的生长就被遏制了。

10. Sleeping in the summer is more bearable. 夏季裸睡让炎热也没难么难以忍受了

Summertime is a tricky time to get good sleep. If you don’t have air conditioning, then you may find your bedroom a bit stuffy at night. Shedding those bedtime clothes can help the bedroom feel more comfortable. You may even be able to turn the A/C off on those cooler nights, which can save you a few bucks on your electricity bill. Don’t wake up drenched in sweat again because your thermostat is downstairs and the hot air expands up to your bedroom where the thermostat can’t read the warm temperatures.

炎炎夏日是老天爷和好睡眠开的一个玩笑。如果你没有空调的话，那么你也许会感觉自己的房间在夜里有那么一点闷热。把睡衣什么的都脱去的话会让房间让人感觉更舒适一些。在某些比较凉快的夏日夜晚裸睡的话，或许你还能关掉空调从你的电费单里省点小钱。从此再也不用因为你的恒温器在楼下而不能识别温度，热风灌满了你的房间，满头大汗的醒来啦。

With these tips in mind, it’s time to start taking off your clothes at night! Of course, there are times where clothes are preferable. If you are ill or it’s cold outside, then you should sleep with clothes on to help you stay warm and prevent further illness. Otherwise, go commando!

所以牢记这些小知识，是该脱衣服睡觉的时候了！当然了，如果你生病了，或者天气很凉，穿衣服睡觉帮助你保持体温，预防更严重的疾病发生，它会是更好的选择。不然的话，别穿穿衣服睡啦！
