Why you should sleep with socks on
Cold feet might be the reason behind your restless nights. When your feet are cold, they constrict the blood vessels and cause less blood to circulate. According to the National Sleep Foundation, warming your feet before you go to bed helps give your brain a clear sleep signal that it’s bedtime.
Why you should sleep with socks on? Other than helping your body stay warm, wearing socks at night also has extra benefits:
1. Prevent hot flashes:
Some women find wearing socks helpful for cooling their core body temperature.
2. Improve cracked heels:
Wearing cotton socks after you moisturize can help keep your heels from drying out.
3. Increase potential orgasms:
According to the BBC, researchers accidentally discovered that wearing socks increased participants’ ability to achieve an orgasm by 30 percent.
4. Decrease chance of Raynaud’s attack:
Raynaud’s disease is when affected areas of the skin, usually the toes and fingers, lose circulation and start to throb or swell. Wearing socks at night can help prevent an attack by keeping your feet warm and blood circulating.
What socks to wear
Socks made of natural soft fibers such as merino wool or cashmere are best. They usually cost more than cotton or artificial fiber socks, but they are well worth the extra money. Make sure the socks you choose are not tight-fitting, which might constrict circulation and hinder proper warming of your feet.
