“Cortisol is a very strange chemical in the body but it can do a lot of damage.  When you sleep naked, it helps keep your body temperature at the optimal ranges so your body can better create cortisol.  If you sleep overheated your cortisol levels tend to stay high, even after you wake up.  This can lead to increased anxiety, cravings for bad food, weight gain, and more terrible things.  Sleep naked so you can keep your body temperature down and sleep well so your body can properly produce and regulate cortisol. . . Continuing along that same vein, keeping your sleeping environment below 70 degrees (F) every night can help your body regulate its melatonin and growth hormone levels.  These chemicals help the body do things like prevent aging and are essential to good health.  When you sleep in clothes, your body heats up and prevents effective use of these hormones.  In other words, sleeping with clothes on makes you grow old faster.” – Joseph Hindy, http://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifestyle/10-benefits-sleeping-naked-you-probably-didnt-know.html

“Curious, we follow them up a foot path to a metal wire arch, then Ken turns and announces that they are naturists and will be disrobing, inviting us to do so, as well.  That was easy for us.  I knew that I had been dressed for way too long. . . I leave my shorts and that t-shirt across a bush and follow through the arch as we are told that they had been married there with the arch.  The property is on a hill covered with the thickest and scratchiest vegetation that any leaf will bestow.  It looks out over the neighborhood and surrounding hillsides.  It has several acres to it.  Normally, up on a hill, one would be very exposed to the rest of the populace, but Ken has discovered something about this hill.  He has created a stealth path throughout the property, there are views everywhere, but that thick troublesome vegetation has been turned into an ally.  It is shoulder high providing a fence-like visual barrier.  He has taken great care in making this rocky terrain into a delightful barefoot ready path.  The route is lined often a foot tall with rocks, some places dug down into the harsh rocky ground to make a softer tread.  The plants have been meticulously trimmed back to actually be friendly.  He has constructed this paradise while nude, with obvious care.  It winds around and through.  It has occasional meditative spiritual alcoves in the tall brush.  There is a terraced garden.  All of this is utilized to looking out, but not being exposed as being in nudity.  I might add that most neighbors look up, increasing the privacy by the angle of the view.  It is almost like casually walking around in the neighborhood naked in the daylight without the repercussions.” – Jbee, https://thefreerangenaturist.org/2016/10/07/free-range-naturist-gathering-pt-1-a-trip-report/

“Nudity isn’t for everyone, but for me, it’s everything.” – Juliet, https://medium.com/talk-tabu/how-to-feel-comfortable-naked-every-day-2d7bea3d96e2
