Who would’ve thought that wearing pajamas, or any kind of great sleepwear, will actually make you feel happier and in the long run, healthier?

Being healthier and happier does not just mean exercising, eating right, reducing stressful situations and problems – it also means feeling good and not just inside, but also on the outside. We always think that being healthier and happier entails complicated rituals and life-changing habits, but if truth be told, it can be as simple as wearing great pajamas to sleep.

Can you recall what you wore last night? And what you’ve been wearing for the past nights? If you’re sleeping with a partner, have you noticed how they react to what you wear? Do they tell you how good you look in your pajamas? Can you remember how that made you feel?

Going to sleep with a great mood reflects on the next morning. And if you wake up feeling great, well, then tell me if that isn’t a great way to start your day.

Just ponder about what Dr. Beth Ricanati thinks about wearing pajamas:

Behavioral modification is powerful stuff. Good habits beget better habits, and confidence breeds confidence. The same holds true in the bedroom. Wearing something soft and comfortable can also be flattering and sexy. So even if you are too tired to contemplate snuggling with your partner, or if you’re upset about those extra snacks you ate today, put all that aside. If you’re going to go to the trouble of changing into sleep clothes anyway, is it really too much trouble to grab this cute or sexy outfit instead of that old and tattered one? No, it’s not. It’s the same amount of effort, for a lot more reward.
