Is it good to wear socks while sleeping?
Some benefits of wearing socks while sleeping:
According to a study published in the American Medical Library, compared to men who do not wear socks, people who wear socks sleep 7.5 minutes faster, sleep longer by 32 minutes, and wake up less frequently by 7.5 times.
De Carlo, the founder of the Professional Sleep Consulting Association at the International Health and Child Rearing Institute (US), said that wearing socks while sleeping helps increase circulation and blood flow to the feet. This helps organs in the body cool down, and signals to the brain that it’s time to sleep, helping you fall asleep faster.
Wearing socks helps sleep better
According to De Carlo, wearing socks to bed in a comfortable position also helps circulate blood and keep the limbs warm, thereby reducing the risk of Raynaud’s syndrome – a condition that often causes swollen and painful toes and fingers.
According to a study by the University of Groningen (Netherlands) with 13 couples, wearing socks while sleeping increases the likelihood of achieving orgasm during sexual intercourse by up to 30%. Orgasm is the result of increased blood flow to the genital organs, and wearing socks while sleeping contributes to better blood circulation.
Wearing socks also helps keep the feet moisturized, improve cracked heels, and prevent hot flashes (by better controlling body temperature).
Benefits of not wearing socks while sleeping
Most studies show that if there are no body temperature-related issues, not wearing socks while sleeping can make you feel more comfortable.
Not wearing socks to bed also helps prevent skin infections and unpleasant odors due to poor hygiene.
Should you wear socks while sleeping?
Although wearing socks provides many benefits, it is not a cure-all.
- Wearing socks can help you sleep better, but if you are dealing with excessive anxiety and stimulation, wearing socks to bed may not be the solution.
- De Carlo advises wearing socks made from natural fibers that are both warm and breathable, and support overall skin hygiene such as cashmere, merino wool, bamboo, or cotton.
- Avoid choosing socks that are too thick or too tight, as they are not good for blood circulation.
- On days with moderate weather, there is no need to wear socks while sleeping.
