Do you get sweaty on hot nights? Do you find yourself waking up in the middle of the night with your clothes all tangled up and making you uncomfortable? Do you hate waking up tired and groggy because you couldn't sleep comfortably? This article will not only tell you how to sleep naked and (if there is a strict clothing policy in your house) how to not get caught!
Steps
- Decide if sleeping naked is right for you. Do you share a room or bed with other people or siblings? Do people constantly access your room without knocking? Is there no door for privacy? If you sleep in your own room, you should probably tell your parents that you want more privacy and you want them to knock before coming in. And/or inform them that you prefer to sleep in the buff so they are at least aware. If you sleep in a room with roommates or siblings then it is really something you should discuss with them before you attempt to do so. If you can't resolve any of the above issues then it would probably be best if you had some pajamas on to avoid confrontational/embarrassing situations.
- Find a place to keep your clothes/robe in case of an emergency (at the end of your bed, where your feet are, so you can slip them on). If there is a fire, earthquake, robbery, etc., you need to make sure you have easy access to clothes and/or a robe, which is much easier to put on. Having to leave your house bare isn't something that you want to do often. Try to keep an accessible robe near your bed.
- If your parents/roommates are not aware you sleep naked. Choose a night when you know you will wake up on your own or with the use an alarm clock. You really don't want someone to walk in on you if your blankets/sheets aren't covering your sensitive areas. But waking up to an alarm clock every morning doesn't exactly give you a relaxed awakening from your peaceful sleep. An alarm clock can also be downright annoying and negate the benefits of sleeping naked.
- Again, if you have not made others in the household aware, make sure you are the last to go to bed. Say goodnight to everyone and get into bed with your sleeping clothes on. When you are sure everyone is in bed and won't be "checking" on you, slip off your clothes and place them in your designated spot, preferably where nobody will see them, but where they will be easily accessible to you.
- Keep extra blankets for cold nights. There's no such excuse as "It's too cold to sleep naked." Your body is a great self-regulator in temperature. Clothes just throw that off. An extra blanket will work just as well as wearing a set of PJ's, actually better because blankets won't reduce blood circulation or cause you discomfort in the middle of the night like clothes do when you are sleeping.
- Finally! Just strip! Don't be bashful! It's only your body! Snuggle up in bed and you'll find that when you wake up, you'll be surprisingly more refreshed and energized for the day than usual. That is if you don't have an alarm clock screaming in your ear. At first the experience may feel awkward for many, but after a few days, you get comfortable to being naked. For most, after a couple of days you'll realize how much you actually enjoy it.
Tips
- If you are new to sleeping naked, yet want to try the experience, take it a step at a time. If you want, for the first night, try sleeping shirtless. The second night, try sleeping in only underwear or boxers. Keep removing an article of clothing each night until you feel comfortable enough to get naked.
- Keep your clothes where nobody can find them easily. Just throwing them on the floor will be pretty obvious that you aren't wearing them!
- On occasion, you will not need a set of clothes, as underwear can be a substitute for a pair of clothes under the bed. They are harder to find and some would rather see you in them than being bare when you put them on.
- Use of a night robe. It will keep you completely covered in case of emergency, but also be easier to put on than regular clothes. Just slip it on or off, depending on what you need.
- If you are sleeping naked in secret, make sure you have an alarm or something else besides a person to wake you up in the morning.
- If you didn't concern parents about your privacy and you have a door with a lock and you are allowed to lock your door, then do it. However, be aware of any danger this may present in case of fire or other emergency.
- Be sure to wash between your legs and between your butt cheeks thoroughly before going to bed. You may even want to use a baby wipe on your genitals and anus. This will keep the sheets clean, and if caught naked, you will at least be squeaky clean!
Warnings
- Sleeping naked anywhere other than your own house can be dangerous and embarrassing. It is advised to sleep in at least your underwear at another person's house/public area. This also applies if you live with someone else, with your family, or especially with someone you're not close to.
- If you have a pet, you will need to find an area where you can keep your clothes hidden from them too! Waking up to find your dog tearing up your boxers in the middle of your floor won't look too good to your groggy house members.
- If you frequently sleep walk, or if you are on a medication to help you sleep better that may cause sleep walking, then it is advised that you do not attempt sleeping naked. You wouldn't want to wake up in the middle of your living room floor naked with your entire family staring at you!
- Make sure to close the blinds on your bedroom window, if applicable. Remember that if you have the light on in your bedroom in the middle of the night, it will be very easy for anyone who can view the window to see inside.
- Obviously, if you are a female and menstruating, take proper precautions.
