2. Tight or heavy pajamas

As you’ve probably figured out, tight clothes do not favor sleep. That’s because tight clothing items can disrupt circulation in your body and airflow, cautions James Oliver, lead researcher, sleep expert, and founder at Hey Mattress. Not to mention, it’s really uncomfortable.

In addition, tight or heavy pajamas can make your body temperature go up during sleep, causing you to wake up too often and sleep poorly. According to Jill Zwarensteyn, a certified sleep science coach and the editor at Sleep Advisor, flannel or fleece pajamas are not recommended as sleep attires.

    The headline is about what NOT to wear, but the last items are what TO possibly wear.

    Thank you for all the bull cause I don’t wear any underwear in bed I have sleep-shirts but I have
    worn socks in bed when it was cold outside and I don’t like sleep masks and I’ll have blankets in
    many different colors.

    I need to wear a diaper every day and night. How do I avoid any side effects from this?

    I appreciate all this advice. And, I was blessed to discover the main one I have been doing that I shouldn’t is “wearing earings ” to bed. This will stop tonight! But I do have some synthetic material pj’s that I sometimes wear, so those will have to go too.

    The best solution is to sleep all natural, I have since my mid teens.
    I go to bed, within 10 min. top I am asleep, wake up about every 2 hours just long enough to see the time and back to sleep immediately. When I was young 4 to 5 hours max. sleep then I would wake up ready for the day. Since getting older (82 now) seems like I require 5 to 6 hours.

    I thought you said “Don’t wear these things” but you are actually suggesting wearing socks as well as sleep masks and/or ear plugs. And, I’m sorry, I am wearing most of these things… well, not the bra…

    Ignore all these suggestions, just sleep bare. More comfrotable and super romantic, when your love is next to you.

    Always wear cotton socks in colder months as they also seem to stop the awful cramps I get in my tendons in calves.
    But I use poly cotton sheets as linens and cotton have to be ironed and I am 80 now!
    The rest make sense tho’ I am guilty of some like leaving on my bra at night.

    Seriously? You are giving health-related advice and you can’t even use big-boy/girl words?

    So, the end take on clothing to bed is sleep nude. No problems with skin not breathing, overheating, too tight, or wrong type of material. Good old fashioned cotton is next to impossible to find anymore, it is mixed with many various types of synthetics.

    What did these have to do with, “6 Signs a Blood Clot Is Hiding in Your Body Now?” They were about sleep NOT Blood Clots. Where is the article about blood clots?

    Why are you censoring such words as yeast, sperm, genitals and candida? These are legitimate words with a specific meaning. Unless you are a toddler who thinks it too potty mouthed to be adult when discussing adult topics, I suggest you grow up, develop your language skills and learn to write and speak like an adult.

    I would read your articles if your 1,2,3,4,5, etc., were on one page. Turning pages over and over is too time consuming, so I pass on them.
