Forget going away for a romantic getaway with your partner , it seems Britons are more likely to watch TV or read than frolic between the sheets in hotels . Despite results from a global study showing that hotel guests like to sleep naked on holiday - it seems romantic liaisons are not top of the agenda in hotels . Of the 39 per cent of people who say they are happy to sleep in the nude on holiday , the nationality most likely to wear their birthday suits in bed is the the French - followed by Britons and Norwegians . Brits on holiday prefer to watch TV or read than have sex whilst in a hotel on holiday , according to a survey by Hotels.com . 1 . Watching TV 67 % . 2 . Reading 47 % . 3 . Sex 46 % . 4 . Surfing the internet 40 % . 5 . Eating from the room service menu 20 % . The recent survey asked over 250,000 guests about their holiday habits to surprising results . For Britain , catching up with TV or a movie was the best loved bedroom activity with 67 per cent of people grabbing for the remote when they hit the sheets . Even reading was preferred to romance , with 47 per cent of people enjoying books , and only 46 per cent opting to have sex when they are away . Even if it is not our top pastime time , it does still beat surfing the internet ( 40 per cent ) and only a fifth of us would rather order a snack from room service . Carolina Annand , of Hotels.com , said : 'It seems on a global scale a lot of us are more than happy to strip for the sheets , yet it is interesting to see in the UK that we prefer to watch TV on a hotel bed rather than any other activity . 'With such a variety of hotel rooms to discover across the globe , both international and domestic , we encourage travellers to really make themselves at home whenever they travel ! ' A third of us enjoy sleeping in the nude , which is said to have many health benefits including lowering blood pressure . France 51 % . UK 24 % . Norway 24 % . Sweden 20 % . Australia 19 % . Finland 19 % . Denmark 18 % . Canada 17 % . Netherlands 16 % . Ireland 16 % . Russia 16 % . Brits may love watching TV over making love , but we came in joint second place for the countries who sleep in the nude , with 24 per cent admitting they ditch their pajamas . Norwegian and Swedish travelers similarly enjoyed to bare all with a fifth or more people admitting to sleeping in just a sheet . The benefits of sleeping naked have been promoted by many medical professionals . 'The advantage of sleeping naked is it 's easier for the body to cool and maintain the lower temperature the brain wants to achieve , ' says Dr Chris Idzikowski , director of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre and author of Sound Asleep : The Expert Guide To Sleeping Well . 'If anything prevents that decline in temperature , the brain will wake itself up to see what 's going on , meaning you 'll struggle to get to sleep or you 'll have disturbed sleep , ' he said . Marilyn Monroe was famously not a fan of wearing pajamas and said she only wore Chanel No 5 between . The survey also revealed the calming impact holidays have on our dreams . 42 % of Brits said dream differently while on holiday with over a quarter ( 26 % ) saying their dreams are more relaxing , while 50 % of those in Mexico also had calmer dreams , topping the global list . This was closely followed by Colombia ( 48 % ) and Taiwan ( 45 % ) in 2nd and 3rd place respectively .
