According to a study conducted by Cotton USA most couples claimed that sleeping in the nude was one of the reasons behind their happy relationships.

57 percent of those who sleep in the nude said they were happy in their relationships, compared to 48 percent of those in pyjamas, 43 percent of nightie wearers and 38 percent of those in onesies, dailymail.co.uk reports.

‘I have been sleeping in the nude for six years now and it’s so much more  comfortable than wearing  pyjamas or boxer shorts.

‘My wife does it too, and we have never been happier. It helps you relax when you’re in bed,’ one respondent, Stephen McKensie, 33 was quoted saying.
