Medical experts have said that sleeping naked could increase sperm production in men by enabling the testicles to have a chance to cool off.
They recommend that men who wish to become fathers should sleep without clothing at night to enhance their chances of conception.
The physicians pointed out that this practice could improve male fertility, as cooling the scrotum at night had been shown to improve sperm quality.
The experts suggested wearing roomy boxers during the day to keep the scrotum cool and enhance reproductive success while advocating for sleeping naked at night.
According to the US National Library of Medicine’s Biotech Information, cooling the scrotum directly impacts sperm health and motility.
Additionally, the US medical journal confirms that sleeping naked helps maintain an optimal temperature for testicular health and sperm quality.
Speaking exclusively with PUNCH paper in different interviews, the experts noted that tight underwear could cause heat, stressing that cooler temperatures support optimal testicular function, which could be achieved by sleeping naked.
A Professor of Medicine and Endocrinology at the College of Medicine, University of Lagos, Olufemi Fasanmade, disclosed that sleeping naked positively impacts male fertility.
Fasanmade explained that cool weather and loose underwear help maintain optimal sperm production, and sleeping naked effectively cools the scrotum.
He noted that tight-fitting pants and hot weather could reduce sperm production, whereas loose garments or sleeping naked promote better sperm formation.
Fasanmade advised men looking to improve their fertility and sperm motility to keep their scrotum and testes cool by avoiding tight pants or boxers while sleeping.
