Ewww, gross. I never sleep without wearing at least t-shirt, shorts/sweats, and socks.

Getting a good night's sleep is a crucial part of your overall health and well-being. Part of that includes snoozing in optimal conditions — i.e., keeping your room cool, eliminating noise and light, and sleeping in breathable, comfy fabrics. Or maybe you like to sleep sans pajamas altogether — a solid move to help keep your body temp regulated and prevent you from waking up tangled in your nightshirt, right?

Well, according to one viral TikTok video, you should never sleep naked — or at least without underwear on — and the reason is bound to gross you out. Anthony Youn, M.D., a Michigan-based board-certified plastic surgeon, recently shared some intel on TikTok, revealing that when you fart, you're spraying tiny amounts of fecal matter. That means if there's no clothing barrier between you and your bed, you're potentially transmitting bacteria and germs onto your sheets, your body, and your sleeping partner. Ick.

You beat me to it lol! And if I ever did, my sheets would still be clean, because my bf likes to "spoon cuddle" me when we sleep! Wonder if I should show him this thread???

Here's one thread I'm not gonna read, along with any about how I shouldn't let the dog sleep in the bed. The fact that it went viral on social media is the ultimate proof that its something I don't need to know.

I'm just gonna say, anyone that thinks tik tok is anything beyond weirdly amusing (at best) is crazy! It is not a place to get educated on any topic.

And, IMO - not verifiable

Oh, I thought it was because all the dust mites might be roaming around your private areas. Who knew?

This is why I throw all my dog crap under my horrible neighbors air conditioner. Just kidding?

Yeah actually just kidding.

Something to think about as every woodland creature poops, pees and otherwise does stuff outside your house that then comes in via the air.

Kinda pointing out how uptight folks can be about stuff while ignoring other stuff.

Hate to tell you. There’s poop everywhere. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.sci...verywhere/amp/
