However, to do this, the brain requires we get enough quality sleep. If the toxins remain in our brain cells, they can impair our thinking, creativity, and emotional intelligence. Vast bodies of research agree that reducing skin temperature can enable us to sleep better, and disrobing just before bedtime is an easy way to cool off.
