2. It will boost your self-esteem – A lot of low self-esteem stems from the fact that a lot of people are not comfortable with their bodies. They wish that they were a little more of this or the other. Spending more time naked will aide in acceptance and subsequent confidence in their bodies. It will help you love yourself.

3. It keeps you young – Sleeping naked could be as effective in slowing down aging as any anti-aging pill.

It also allows your skin to breathe keeping it looking youthful and bright.
