Expert reveals reason why sleeping without any clothes on in hot weather might be a bad idea

With summer just around the corner, we’re starting to get used to the hot weather and looking for ways to stay cool during the upcoming heatwaves.

While this is easier during the day, when we can stay under the shade and spend some time under a tree in our garden, the nights can be a bit more challenging.

Now, if you thought sleeping without any clothes on when the weather is extremely hot in order to keep yourself cool, experts warn it isn’t the smartest idea.

Julius Patrick, the lead Sleep Physiologist at Bupa’s Cromwell Hospital in the UK, shared what you should do instead.

“It can be tempting to sleep with no clothes on to keep yourself cool, but this may worsen your sleep,” he said.

“When you sleep naked, sweat actually collects on the body and then remains there.”

He added that wearing light bedclothes is a way better option.

“If you’re wearing light, breathable clothes to sleep in, it soaks up any sweat you have, which can cool you down.

“However hot it is when you drift off, remember your body temperature will drop during the night.”

The expert also noted that you shouldn’t ditch the covers altogether but keep them at handy during the night.

He then added: “A quick rinse before bed can help you cool down, and it doesn’t have to be a cold shower. Some people find a hot shower or bath can help as this drops the core body temperature, helping to promote faster and deeper sleep.”

Another expert, Suzy Reading, a psychologist specialising in well-being, also shared some valuable advice on how to keep cool during the night at summertime. She recommended opting for “loose fitting, airy, light garments in natural fibres such as cotton, silk, eucalyptus or bamboo.”

So, next time you plan on sleeping with no clothes on in hot weather have this in mind.
