Why be naked? Let me count the ways.
#1 It feels amazing
Don't tell me it doesn't feel amazing to take off those tighty whitey's and thongs at the end of the day. I know the less clothes you have on the better and more relaxed you feel. It's OK to admit that you feel more comfortable when you are less confined. Don't be afraid to let lose; your body will be pleased.
#2 Give your partner the gift of nakedness
It's the holiday season and we're all thinking about giving. This holiday season, give your partner your gift of nakedness! Don't cover yourself up and try to hide in the bathroom when you are changing or when you just got out of the shower. Show off your clean and beautiful body. Give your partner something to look at and admire. So many people worry about their significant other looking at other people. Maybe you should try giving them something to admire so they don't want to look around? Your partner wants to see you.
#3 Become more self-aware
It's possible that if you are naked more often then you might be more self aware and conscious of what your body needs. A lot of times in America, people cover up their bodies with lots of clothing and pretend to not see their body. This is not a good idea. We should be self aware of what we look like in the mirror and to others and do what we can to improve our bodies wherever we can. Working on improving ourselves will only benefit us and our families. Let's face it, none of us are perfect, nor ever will be, but we can still put great effort into looking our best by paying attention to our bodies needs like needing to exercise more, drinking more water, or watching our portion sizes.
#4 Better sleepNot only can sleeping naked help you feel more comfortable, but feeling comfy helps you to have better quality sleep. Having more rest can help you to function better each day versus waking up with a stiff neck and feeling unrested. No clothes may help you get a better nights rest by not getting tangled up in a nightgown or all sweaty because you are too hot and then you wake up feeling that you are not ready to tackle the day. Avoid sleeping in work or school clothes at all costs.
#5 It's healthy
Going naked can help your skin and genitals breathe and get some air. Sleeping naked can help prevent infections or bacteria build up. Also, wearing clothes or socks that are too tight can lower your blood circulation. Have you ever woke up with a bunch of marks on your skin where your pajama pants were on your waist or where your socks were on your legs? Yes, these items were constricting the blood flow of your body which probably means you were getting less oxygen to your brain. Overall, you probably didn't feel as revived as you you could have been in the morning. Skip the tight clothes for bedtime and get naked!
#6 Less social anxiety about nudity
Get comfortable with your naked body! The more you do it, the easier it gets during social situations like undressing for the doctor, looking at nude/erotic art, or even changing in locker rooms. I can remember when I was about 12 and went to a local fitness club next door to my parents home and a bunch of older women were completely naked and talking to each other like they were fully clothed. I couldn't believe it. However, I look back and now fully understand that they had nothing to hide and were completely comfortable with their bodies. This is something we should all strive for. There should be no shame in our game.
#7 Naked yogaFor those of you who like yoga or for those of you haven't tried yoga yet, you should try naked yoga. This is a great way for people to get in touch with your body, mind, and soul. No clothes to get in the way of stretching and creating your best pose.
I haven't tried it yet personally, but I really want to! It sounds very healing and relaxing. Don't be afraid to branch out and try something new. You can probably even get a private session if your not ready for a full blown class. This would be a great experience for you and your partner. Naked yoga here I come!
