Sleeping naked might not be a topic commonly discussed, especially in a spiritual context. However, this practice can have a range of benefits that extend beyond physical health, contributing to one's spiritual well-being. In this article, we will explore five spiritual benefits of sleeping naked.
1. You sleep better.
This may not seem like a spiritual benefit, but it’s important for your soul to get enough sleep. Sleeping naked has been clinically shown to help you sleep better. Between the hours of 1 and 4am in particular, our subconscious connects with the spirit world. Definitely make sure you’re sleeping during those hours and always get yourself 7-8 hours. More if you’re a teen.
2. Your melatonin balances out.
Melatonin is naturally produced by your pineal gland. When you sleep in clothes, your body gets overheated. Generally, keeping your sleep environment around 70 degrees F, melatonin is produced more efficiently.
3. Your cortisol levels balance out.
Sleeping naked helps regulate your body temperature which also serves to regulate your cortisol levels. When the chemical is out of balance, it leads to anxiety, weight gain, and other issues. This can lead away from a healthy, spiritual lifestyle.
4. Skin on skin contact.
If you have a significant other, sleeping naked can charge your spiritual sexual energy. Skin on skin contact also releases oxytocin, the “love hormone,” which reduces stress, boosts arousal, and reduces drug cravings. It can also help you get to sleep. See #1.
5. Your sacral chakra balances.
Your sacral chakra determines how well you interact with others, how you feel about yourself, how you express yourself creatively, and is directly tied to your throat chakra. Your throat chakra relates to your higher self. The sacral chakra being healthy is critical to the throat chakra being healthy and vice versa. Balance there is important.
