Egyptian Cotton Sheet Sets – Why I Sleep Naked With Them
Why would anyone sleep naked on fine quality, Egyptian cotton sheet sets? Simply put, they help you stay comfortable throughout the night; which is paramount for a good rejuvenating night of sleep.
Most any fine quality sheet set will provide the comfort of a soft, smooth surface against the skin; so why cotton? And what happens during the night to make a person uncomfortable enough for a miserable night’s sleep? These questions are what this article explores.
Your skin “breaths” or perspires in small amounts as a person sleeps. This perspiration typically causes the body to experience an uncomfortable wet and damp feeling, but also chilling may result from any slight air movement in the room. Air movements within a room can occur from forced air units of home air conditioning and heating, a window or two slightly open or ceiling fans. Even radiator type heaters cause a natural air movement in a room. For whatever reason any slight air movement is present within the bedroom, it increases the discomfort level of a damp, resting person.
Just visualize how uncomfortable a person could become during the night as perspiration dampens their body. In your mind, see the image of a sleeping person damp with perspiration, and feeling that dampness and wetness. Now, as most all rooms have some air movement, add the evaporative cooling effect of air movement across the damp body; resulting in a chilling sensation on the skin. Are you visualizing the discomfort of this sleeping person? The discomfort may be enough to wake the person, or it may only be enough to cause the person to “toss and turn” all night. Either way, the result is definitely not a rejuvenating night’s sleep.
