Clothing That Helps You Sleep Comfortable

When it comes to sleeping attire, opinions vary greatly. Some people like to be as trussed up as possible, while others prefer to be naked. The preference you've developed over your life is important to keep if it works for you, but if you're having issues staying asleep, you may want to consider all the different types of clothing that might help.

• Sleeping Naked – Sleeping nude is beneficial in many ways. Even studies suggest sleeping naked will help you burn more calories if you keep your room cool due to the body trying to stay warm. There is also good science supporting the notion of airing out your body parts to avoid rashes and other skin discomforts.

• For Night Sweating – If you're a person who tends to start sweating at night due to your lifestyle, age, or illness, you'll feel better if you invest in moisture-wicking sleepwear. Bamboo, cotton, and other fibers help keep the moisture away from your skin. In addition, it can be more comfortable than being nude when you break out in a sweat.

• For Cold Nights – If you get cold easily, it's still good to keep the temperature down in your bedroom while you sleep and invest in wool, fleece, flannel, or silk jammies so you can stay warm but still sleep well in the cool air. Also, don't forget to cover your feet on cold nights because having cold feet will reduce your sleep time.

• Avoid Binding or Loose Garments – If you have hip pain or any joint pain, binding or too loose clothing can make it feel worse. This is especially true if the fabric bunches up under your hips when you move around at night. If something is too tight or digs into your skin, it can also cause issues with circulation and make your problems worse.

• Think of Your Goal – Depending on your nighttime sleep issues, you may want to invest in weighted blankets, compression socks, temperature controlling sheets, bedding, and even special body pillows that help keep your spine aligned. Whatever your sleep goal, there is clothing and accessories that will help.

What you sleep in is a very personal choice, but don't think that you can't or shouldn't change just because you've done it one way your entire life. If you try something that does not work, change it up and try a new tactic. You can't know what will work until you give it a try. If you've never tried sleeping naked and you can reasonably do it safely in your home, give that a try because of the amazing benefits of doing so.
