Benefits of sleeping naked in Adventures in paradise

I came across this article today about the benefits of sleeping in the nude, and had to think about my own situation.
I very rarely sleep in the nude.
As a kid, I remember always wearing pajama's to bed. You know, the ones you'd get at a kid's clothing store these days. They were long-sleeved and I'm pretty sure I wore them year around, just the blankets were either added or taken away given the season.
As a teenager when I started to buy my own underwear, I had an obsession with satin boxer shorts. They were all the craze in the 90's. I loved how they felt against my skin, let alone how they felt against my penis. Many a fantasy was discovered as an early to mid-teen, and I wore them for many years. So the cotton pajama's were ditched and I wore satin boxers and I think maybe a shirt. It wasn't long until the shirt was ditched and I actually felt more comfortable not wearing a shirt to bed. It's not like anyone was going to see me anyway.
As a teen, I had pretty bad body issues and self confidence. I hated even taking off my shirt to go swimming at the local swimming carnival or for PE class in primary school. Let alone changing into and out of my shorts. I used to go into a shower stall and do it in private. I was such a shy and unco kid, pretty much all of my school years. It carried into high school mostly. Luckily, I wasn't overly bullied. I was a little bit, but ironically it was by a couple of girls, who were pretty much harmless otherwise. I think people probably just did their own thing. I was quite academically smart (yeah, I know right!) and maybe they saw me as that.
Anyway, gone off track, as usual :P
So after I moved out of home, and eventually ditched satin boxers to just underwear, I became a lot more confident in myself and sleeping that way just felt natural to me. I needed something covering me 'down there' so I wasn't completely hanging out during the night. I mean, what if there was a bug or something that managed to get under the sheets and decided it wanted a snack in the middle of the night? I didn't particularly want to wake up with bitten nuts haha.
So that's probably taken it a bit far, but what I wanted to get at, and in relation to this article, is that I have slept naked a couple of times, and yes, it really does make a huge difference in how my dreams are and how good of a sleep I get.
From what I can recall, every time I've slept naked, I've had a fantastic sleep.
Most times I've slept naked, it's been when there's been someone in the bed with me (as would usually be the case I assume). Other times, I've decided to just ditch the underwear, throw it to the floor of my room and settle in for the night, amazed at how that short change can be so... relieving? Refreshing?
I'm clearly no nudist haha. I think the fact it seems so freeing is that the only other time I'm naked is when I'm taking a shower, which happens every day. So to even be away from that setting, is kinda cool.
There's even a chance a housemate could walk in my room and I've kicked the covers during the night, unconsciously, and my arse is hanging out for the world to see. Never know, it could happen?
I don't know how I'd react if a housemate saw me naked. Probably get all shy and cover up. I don't really have anything to be that ashamed of. I'm not much to look at flacid, unfortunately haha. Most guys who initially get with me think I'm not packing much, and then after a while they realize they judged too soon. Luckily all have stayed to find out haha. It must be nice to be a 'show'er' - especially at pride events and gay dance parties. I don't have that luxury :( I mean, I can play with myself for a bit and shove it back in and show off until it dies back down a bit, but that's not really kocher shoving my pants down my pants in the middle of a public place :P
I relate to this article, and thought I'd post it here to remind me to change it up a bit and actually sleep naked sometimes. So long as I'm warmed up enough by the covers, I know I'll wake up more refreshed than normal. Also, I forget that I'm not wearing anything during my slumber and I usually surprise myself when I wake up haha. Most of the time I even have a morning glory, as underwear hasn't been restricting me back during the night, I suppose. I generally don't usually wake up with one otherwise.
Maybe I'll try it tonight.
