Sleeping naked is not just a personal choice, but actually a promoter of good health. Although some may shy away, even in solitude, others eagerly embrace the opportunity.
Aniruddha Gangar (24) (name changed for privacy reasons) a Goregaon resident and photographer by profession calls the experience of sleeping naked ‘heavenly’. “The kind of sound sleep I get when sleeping naked is incomparable. It’s the best way to relax, especially after a stressful day at work.”
Gangar, originally from Goa, recently shifted to Mumbai and stays with one of his relatives. He shares that due to space constraints and lack of privacy in a city like Mumbai, he waits to be left alone at home for days. Although Gangar loves to sleep naked when alone, he adds, “I usually prefer to sleep without any clothes on during summers, but I try to avoid doing the same during monsoons and especially winters.” He says it makes him more vulnerable to catching cold.
For Borivali resident Reema Gunjal (26) (name changed for privacy reasons), a user experience designer, sleeping naked is a new experience. Although she admits to it being relaxing, one that she would like to do quite often, she says, “It is still a bit embarrassing, being a woman, even if I am alone in the room.” “Feeling shy is so deeply ingrained in women” adds Gunjal, “that most of the time I wake up in the middle of the night only to put my clothes on and go back to sleep.” Speaking about the positive impacts, Gunjal says, “On nights that I sleep naked, I wake up feeling rested and fresh the other day.”
