According to a new survey of over 1,000 people across the country, 58 percent say they sleep in the nude.

Not surprisingly, men are more likely to sleep naked than women – though more than half of women still report sleeping without any clothes. Only 39 percent of Boomers sleep in the buff, compared with nearly 65 percent of Millennials, the survey found.

Relationships seem to relax people's sleeping habits, with 72 percent of nude sleepers report being in a relationship, compared to only only half of single people. More than half of people who sleep nude report that their partner does, too.

[...] Nearly 70 percent of respondents who sleep naked said they do so because they're more comfortable without clothes. About 58 percent said nude sleeping was relaxing, and 54 percent said it improves their sleep. (Roughly 15 percent said they sleep naked to keep their genitals "free and happy.")

So... all? or Nothing?

    you are entirely defenseless in the nude

    A thin piece of cotton covering 5% of your body is defense?

      Just because you're fat and ugly doesn't mean we all are

    Try running naked vs with underwear.
    That thin piece of cotton can protect men from themselves: testicular torsion and testicular trauma are much more likely if the testis aren't supported.

    Testicular torsion:

    Within the scrotum, the testicles are secured at one end by a structure called the spermatic cord. Sometimes, this cord gets twisted cutting off the testicle's blood supply. Symptoms of testicular torsion include sudden and severe pain, enlargement of the affected testicle, tenderness, and swelling.
    [...] If the blood supply to the testicle is cut off for a long period of time, the testicle can become permanently damaged and may need to be removed.
