Women who sleep naked are less likely to suffer from yeast infections, Dr Brewer added.
Men who go commando in between the sheets are not as prone fungal infections in their groin - also known as the Jock Strap Itch.
Dr
Brewer said: ‘Keeping the area cool, dry, clean and “aired” at night
will help to reduce the overheating that promotes this – especially in
summer.’
Going
without pyjamas helps men keep normal testosterone levels too, as being
too hot disturbs sleep, and testosterone production may be reduced.

Dr Brewer added that sleeping naked helps couples bond and increases intimacy.
‘Sleeping naked gives us a sense of freedom and may help you feel more sexy and loving,’ she said.
‘Humans are highly-tuned to the sight of bare skin and this acts as a signal for sexual arousal.
‘Sleeping naked can help improve intimacy between you and your partner and give you a boost of body confidence.’
For
women experiencing menopausal symptoms, or men with
testosterone-deficiency syndrome, keeping cool in bed can help avoid
triggering a hot flush.
Dr Brewer’s comments come as a poll by Furniture Choice found men are most likely to sleep without clothes.
Almost a third of men (27 per cent) choose to sleep naked, compared to a fifth of women.
Surprisingly,
the majority of people who said they slept in their birthday suits were
over 50, with a third of 55-64 year olds reporting they don’t wear
pyjamas.
Across
Britain, the free-spirited people of Newcastle and Nottingham have the
highest proportion of naked sleepers (30 per cent each).
This was followed by Cardiff (28 per cent) and Southampton (27 per cent).
Londoners were the most prudish about pyjamas, with just 21 per cent of residents snoozing naked.
