Oxytocin “the feel-good” hormone”

Oxytocin has other benefits as well like making you feel more aroused, increasing feelings of trust, lowers heart rate, reduces blood pressure and simply makes you more ready for sexual interaction. 

Skin to skin touching (with intimacy, a massage, intercourse, or cuddling) is all that is required. Also involved in sexual responsiveness and orgasm, the hormone oxytocin counteracts stress and depression by combating the harmful effects of cortisol and reduces blood pressure. It has also been shown to improve gut motility and decrease intestinal inflammation.

One of the most prevalent benefits of sleeping naked is that it let’s your body cool properly at night better. Doing this helps to maintain healthy (more balanced) cortisol levels. Cortisol is also known as the stress hormone as i’m sure you’re aware. The higher your cortisone levels the more you are at risk for certain health conditions. Conditions like high blood pressure, higher than optimal cholesterol levels, as well as other imbalances, weaker immunity and increased appetite which is weight gaining effects. Cortisol is also a fat storing hormone so the higher your cortisol levels the more your body will store fat. The cortisol levels in the body are usually lowest when you are sleeping deeply  (between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m or so) But after deep sleep your cortisol levels start to rise again in order to wake you up in the morning. Want to lower your stress levels and help the body release fat stored by cortisol? Sleeping naked is a step in the right direction. Sleeping naked keeps you cool which helps cortisol levels.

Sleeping naked does in fact stimulate oxytocin which is a feel good hormone. This is also known as the “love hormone” which also happens to be released when you are experiencing sex and orgasm. It is a hormone that helps fight depression as well as contributing to gut health and a healthy blood pressure levels. Sleeping naked with your partner can light the flame and increase your sex-drive and physical connection.

When we sleep in total darkness, melatonin is released, triggering a very slight but critical cool-down in the body. As body temperature drops, growth hormone is released and works its regenerative magic.
