More hygienic<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sleeping in a warm bed while wearing underwear reportedly encourages yeast and bacteria growth. Ditch your undies and the bacteria build up decreases.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Sleep better<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to the UK\u2019s National Sleep Foundation, the cooler you are, the deeper you sleep \u2013 something layers of clothes can prevent. There is also some evidence that keeping cooler while you sleep can help rev up your metabolism.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Better love life<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sleeping skin-to-skin increases hormones like oxytocin, according to psychologists, resulting in a higher sex drive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Sense of freedom<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You get to enjoy the liberation of nudity, without any of the self-consciousness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Lose weight<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Staying cool while you sleep can also keep your cortisol levels low, which is good news for weight loss. High cortisol levels can increase anxiety and cravings.<\/p>\n<p>And for the fellas out there, there are some male-specific benefits to sleeping without your duds on\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>Protect your testicles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to Dr Brian Steixner \u2013 a urologist in the US \u2013 sleeping in your underwear increases the odds that you\u2019ll get an infection.
