IN THE RAW

In the raw or as friends laugh at me al dente! Cards on the table...I'm a nude sleeper, or as I say I like to sleep al dente! I have no idea when it started but even at a young age I started sleeping in just briefs, but then even they went out the window, by middle school. In my mind, I view a day as being fresh, just born. So I like to come into the world each day naked and end the day naked again. I cannot stand anything on my body when I go to bed. I get hot, which I'm a hot-blooded person, and I can't stand the feeling of material pulling, wedging and feeling restricted. I have no idea how people sleep with socks on?? I have a friend who always has socks on and I told them that is not healthy. Our feet are not meant to be covered 24/7....being exposed and getting air is good for the feet and the whole body I feel. Soon as I get home, I'm barefoot. Even all of my partners and ex's, I can only recall two that slept in briefs...all the others were naked sleepers too. I also find it interesting, that almost all the women I know, more of them sleep naked then of all the men I know! What?!?!  Sleeping naked might not be the first thing you think about when it comes to improving your health, but some benefits are actually too good to ignore. Not to mention often spurs on sex. When Warbucks and I are together...we could be tired, but once I feel his huh, nice endowment touch my leg...sleep is off for a hot minute!!!

Did you know you fall asleep faster? Your body temperature is one key to how you fall asleep. Cooling down tells your body that it's time to sleep, and sleeping naked allows your body temp to go down as you can go to sleep faster, and more restful.

You also have better sleep quality. Not only does cooling down your body help you fall asleep, but it also improves your overall sleep quality. You sleep heavier I noticed. 

Another is it keeps your skin healthy. A study in 2018 found it improves your skin... and a small study group found that clothed poor sleep limited the skin's ability to heal even just small wounds faster. When the group was divided into three categories the group that slept naked was founded to have felt more rested and wounds would start healing faster, because the skin was not covered with mutli layers. It's also been found that sleeping naked reduces stress and anxiety.

For men sleeping naked is good. Not only do men get a number of erections in a night, but sleeping naked is better as PJ's and underwear restrict the movement of the cock, and turning over with a hard on is not too pleasant. Some men have even reported minor fractures. Just ask Pat in all his research for informative posts on this very subject. It's also suggested a link between wearing tight fitting underwear and lower sperm count and producing lower amounts of semen. Men who reported wearing boxers or sleeping nude had a higher sperm concentration and total sperm count in general, than those who wore underwear and pj's

Sleeping naked is also a great way to get in touch with your body and boost your self-esteem, which is definitely a win when it comes to embracing self-love. I know when I started sleeping naked, a saw my attitude change from being shy, and not noticing my body to caring to discovering it. 

And for me, I feel it's great for improving on a relationship. While sex can be great fun and hot, sleeping naked for me is the ultimate intimate thing to let yourself go to someone. For me I always sleep naked, whether it be with FWB'S, just friends, or my romantic partners...for me it is the ultimate bond and trust thing for me. It shows just how relaxed and bonded I'm with someone. And with my boyfriends or romantic partners sleeping naked can be wonderful. It's been discovered that skin to skin contact stimulates the release of oxytocin, which plays an important role in building attachment between partners. And let's be honest being spooned or spooning my partner naked is one of my favorite things...just lying there, naked, in the moment just "being".

Since sleeping naked is pretty easy to try, it might be time to strip down and get your snooze on. How do you sleep at night??? 

But don't take my word for it.


And yes, I'm willing to sleep naked with Jose.

  1. Oh, I usually start out with socks because my feet are so cold, but then shuck them as I settle in.

    1. It's at least nice to know the socks are on your feet.

  2. Sleep with clothes on? Anything on? surely you jest?!?!

    I sleep naked yes!!!! And when we get home, if we are not going back out, some days we just get nude altogether. But your right, I feel so much more restful and relaxed sleeping naked.

  3. Nude sleeper here! How anybody sleeps in anything is beyond me. Like you I can't take the pulling and pinching of fabric when you shift in the bed. But who knew of all the pluses?

  4. I used to sleep naked. Can't recall when I stopped doing that and switched to a light t-shirt. But sounds like a good idea to start again .... tonight. We'll see how it goes.

    2. It was uncomfortable. My boobs are now too big for naked sleeping, kept getting in the way, flopping around in different directions, so I ended up back in a light t-shirt to contain them so I could get back to feeling comfortable.

    3. Oh, this made me laugh so hard that I may have peed a little!

    4. May have Deedles????

      And too you both.... I remember Anne Marie always saying she slept naked...and the jahobbies flopped around like too...but she always said fuck it and let them flop!!!!!

      Delete
    5. Mine are more like jahoobettes. They never got to the floppy size. The y do have a tendency to try to crawl inder my arm pits though, when they're not looking for money on the floor. My front butt acts as a shelf so no problem. And yes, I peed, so shut up about it bitch! Wow, where did that come from?!

      Delete
    6. Lmao!!!!!!!! And looking for loose change on the floor just made me pee!

      Delete
    7. This whole conversation made me laugh hard too because it happens to me also. And yes Deedles, I may have peed a bit myself! Hahahahaha

  5. The guy in the video has a delivery like a gangsta rapper and gets on my nerves. Wouldn’t want anyone to think he might be gay. Of course, it was an ad for Manscape.

    ANYWAY, I have slept naked for as long as I can remember. I must have started in my teens, although when I had roommates in college, I slept in my underwear. If I wear anything to bed, you know I’m ill. SG usually sleeps in an oversized T-shirt and is covered by a top sheet and a comforter. I’m next to him with nothing on and the top sheet often kicked to the side.

    1. LOL!!!!! Jose is cute but agree. I need to stick something in his mouth ...at the very least a ball gag!!!!! For some reason, all I pictured San Geraldo sleeping in was one of those long nightcaps!!! You, doesn't surprise me.

      Delete
    2. Oh, I’ll bet SG would love one of those long nightcaps, just for the novelty. He’d probably look good in it, too. His T-shirts are so big they look like nightshirts. He gets chilled easily.

      Delete
    3. Tell him to sleep naked....your there to keep him warm!!!!! Everyone that has been in my bed says I'm like a space heater. My ex, if sleeping up against me would start to sweat! And if San Geraldo ever gets a long nightcap, were going to need to see pictures of that. I bet he would look cute as a button in it.

      Delete
    4. Ugh, no! We cuddle briefly. I get way too hot, and not in a good way, to sleep wrapped around someone.

      Delete
  6. All feet need a break from socks - otherwise: Fungal infections. Same with knickers.
    Everything needs a good airing now and then!
    Too cold in winter to sleep naked though, or 'nekkid' even.

  7. Yes, I tend to take my spurts at being naked in bed. I do agree with the barefoot measures also

  8. You would have to find someway to stop Jose from shouting, hmm, something to occupy that mouth. I bet you could think of something. Another naked sleeper here.

  9. Naked sleeper here!!! Hot, cold, this big bitch sleeps naked all the time. And I too know more women who sleep naked then men. You'd think it would be the other way around>?!? That said I do know almost all my gay peeps sleep naked, over straight men. So it is all interesting to see and you wonder why.

  10. I know my dad slept in the raw, and I have tried it numerous times, but just cannot get comfortable. I need to have a pair of undershorts on to get a good night of sleep; I use Hanes ultra light - it's just enough. The husband, however... it's like sleeping with J. Thurston Howell; all that's missing is the ascot.

    1. LMAO!!!!!!!!! You almost made me spray my coffee everywhere with the J Thurston Howell crack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  11. I sleep nekkid as a jaybird and generally, on hot summer nights, with just a sheet that I throw off somewhere during my slumber.
    That said, I always wear socks when I sleep but I am barefoot almost all the other times.
    I always wonder if the house catches fire and I run outside in just my socks how many hot fireman would rescue me.

  12. So this will be interesting to read the comments. If I include Rade and Mitchell's husbands into the comments and myself, of 13 people so far we have 9 nude sleepers, 3 clothed or semi clothed, and one on the fencer..... Report back on your findings Shirley! LOL.

  13. Nope. I have a dog who sleeps on the bed, and sometimes dogs get sniffy, so everything stays covered.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I can go either way.
    I have had partners with whom I slept naked and some with whom I sleep with a T-shirt and boxers or boxers. I can’t sleep with socks. Nope.

  16. Late to this party and subject matter...My absolute favorite line from Designing Women from Julia and Suzanne Sugarbaker's brother Clayton about the difference between words in the South and everywhere else:
    "NAKED means you ain't got no clothes on. NEKKID means you ain't got no clothes on and you're up to something."

  17. You KNOW that I sleep naked. Have since I was 15. Cannot get a good night's rest unless I'm naked. Yep, I have promoted and encouraged people to sleep nude since I started blogging. It's SO much more healthy. (And, yes, the cock can get damaged by rolling over on an erection that has been trapped in clothing.)

    1. I agree....I feel like shit the next day if I cant sleep naked..like if traveling and sharing a room with a co worker for example.

    2. Traveling, sharing a room --- once even a bed because the hotel had no other rooms --- I was, "I sleep nude. Don't like it? Go sleep in the car." Not a single person groused.

    3. Only on one work related trip did I tell my roommate I slept naked over drinks after work as a heads up. Only to wake up to find him sitting on my bed...sheet pulled back and him feeling my dick up. Needless to say we both slept well after that.

  18. I started sleeping without a nightdress on in my early teens. My mother did not approve, claiming it made my sheets dirtier. I used to put my nightdress on for when my mother came to say the Lord's prayer with me and kiss me goodnight. Once the door was closed I'd whip off the nightdress and get back into bed.

  19. I can't imagine trying to sleep with any clothes of any description on! I have to have some bedclothes - even just a sheet in hot weather - over me, however. Jx

    1. I had to wear a pair of sweat pants once in a hotel room since I was sharing the room with a co worker. Take me forever to fall asleep that night...if I got more than two hours.

  20. Well, when we were first married, I had to sleep naked when I wasn't in the mood. Lingerie always got Balder's motor running faster than my skin suit would. We used to laugh about it a lot. Now I usually sleep naked because I sweat out nighties. Socks are an absolute no-no! In the winter we never turn our heater on at night, so a loose nightie is required until my blood sugar goes up or down and then it's payback time for never having had hot flashes.

    1. I cant understand the seelping naked but with socks on. It must look funny. You and Balder half crack me up!!! I was waiting for you to make a jahobbies crack! Don't they have a mind of their own?

    2. My neuropathy makes my feet feel like they're wearing fuzzy socks all the time. I hate it!

    3. That would drive me nuts too I think...so it would be a short trip. Lol!!!!!

    4. My neuropathy is on my thigh and it means I can't drive. My meds make me forget words and walk with difficulty (well known side effects). But it does kill off the pain most of the time. It's my fingers that feel as if they are covered with bandages which makes typing difficult, along with cooking etc..

Now, my late William slept nakedeveryday day of his life we were married right up to and including the day he passed. He couldn't stand being in a bed with anything on.

  27. When I hit the bed...everything come off! Hot cold...doesnt matter. I sleep far better...and it's nice to let the cock and boys have freedom to move and air out so to speak...and I also agree...nothing more comforting or intimate than feeling your naked partner beside you.

  28. Ok...I've lost track of the naked sleepers.....but it seems more people sleep naked then I thought. Be free childern!

  29. I sleep naked too...for many of the reasons you state. A body is not meant to be enclosed day and night from some aring out. When I get up...I even say naked to practice on the cello and my first cup of coffee.

  30. Nude sleeper also. I hate when we travel, I used to wear bottoms but now don't care and sleep naked, otherwise I can't sleep. Nothing like sleeping naked with your partner, lying there and you feel the length of his dick on your butt and his arms around you...and not in a sexual way either...it is the ultimate feeling for me.

  31. If I didn't have The Son and The Grandson living with us, I'd sleep Nude all the time too, for their benefit I don't. Tho', the Door to my Boudoir is Closed so really should they even ever open it for anything? *ha ha ha* I like to Swim Nude in our Pool, but have to remember when it's Monday and also only Skinny Dip when the Male Adult Children aren't Home and we don't have random Guests. Don't wanna traumatize another Pool Boy, Brad would have trouble finding Help to come clean our Pool otherwise... as it is he has to do it after that one Kid rolled up on me when I forgot it was a Monday. *Bwahahahaha*

  33. I too found it surprising how many slept naked. I always sleep naked even if taking a short nap. Can't stand sleeping or get comfortable with clothes on. And being on the more endowed side, it's nice letting everything hang loose and free and not penned up. LOL!
