Express.co.uk spoke to one sleep expert, who suggested that getting out your pyjamas might not be the best thing to do. Alison Jones from the mattress brand Sealy said “sleeping naked is not the answer”. But why? The topic is up for debate.
She said: “When the heat feels unbearable it is understandable our first port of call is usually to remove layers that feel like they could only be making us hotter.
“However, sleeping naked is not the answer, as sweat can stick to your skin, making you feel uncomfortable and clammy.
“Lightweight, loose-fitting, wide leg pyjamas or a nightie will help to combat sweat, ultimately leaving you cooler and drier throughout the night.”
But it might not be this simple. There’s no solid evidence that sleeping naked can be harmful, Doctor Drerup told the Cleveland Clinic.
