My wife and I both wear socks to bed. She actually convinced me to wear socks to bed because of the benefits it offers. She was wearing socks to bed before I ever started and she was doing that for a long time. After we started dating, she explained why she wears socks to bed. After convincing me to do the same, I did and I can’t sleep without socks. We were talking last night about how most people don’t wear socks to bed despite the various benefits.
How many of you wear socks to bed?
Comments
Almost never.
What are these benefits?
Never
If my feet are cold, yes. If not, no.
I have ADHD and sensory issues. I have socks on at all times. I can’t sleep without socks on and never have been able to. I will take them off in the summer for certain outfits/shoes but as soon as we’re back home/inside the socks go back on.
Why does it matter what percentage do or don’t? Same with the preferred doneness of your porterhouse steak
No, never. I have in the past (lived in a cold as balls apartment once) and hated the experience. I prefer not having a single article of clothing on my body when I sleep.
every night for my whole life. Sleep with a fan too lol
No. Combat boots!
I can’t wear socks to bed. No way. I’d be drenched in sweat, unable to regulate my body temperature.
I always have socks on. My husband never wears socks.
During winter and cold nights, yes. I have Raynaud’s and my hands/feet get crazy cold. I do not wear them in the summer though.
No way! I’d be too hot and would never sleep!
I start out with socks because for some reason I’m always freezing first getting into bed, but as the night wears on, I usually get really hot and have to get rid of the socks and throw the blanket off
My husband refuses to wear socks to bed even if his feet are like blocks of ice 🧊
No!! I don’t wear socks generally in the Flat though I have my slippers and that’s only because the orthopedic told me to wear them or crocks because of my flat feet …..and I’m not wearing crocks
No barefoot is more comfy Don’t like wearing trousers if I’m being honest but I have to because of social norms 😤
Wish I could just Winnie the Poo it
Usually yes
As a child I thought if I didn’t wear socks to bed then cockroaches would crawl up my legs
Only in a sleeping bag. At home? Never.
Yes I do I’m very used to wearing them my feet don’t get warm I can wear socks every night of the year.
All the time! Every day!
Oh hell no. Not even underwear.
i have been wearing socks to bed since forever
Only if the power is out and it’s ridiculously cold. I’m post-menopausal and I’m always too hot
Never ever
Yes always no matter what!!! I am a socks person
If my feet are cold (or I can tell they’re gonna end up that way), I do. Everything I do or don’t wear to bed is pretty conditional, though. I’ve never been somebody who needs it all a certain way 100% of the time.
I read somewhere that when you wear socks, your orgasms are more intense – i don’t remember if there was a male/female experience difference. I think it’s just a sensory thing.
in winter but I have shit circulation. if I need them, I will wear them
No way I can wear socks to bed. I don’t even like my feet under the covers unless it’s really really cold
No. I don’t like my toes to feel compressed at night, though I’m fine with shoes during the day.
I never wear socks in general if I can help it unless I have to.
No, except very occasionally when my feet are freezing and I’m motivated enough to put on socks, but not enough to go fill a hot water-bottle. If I did sleep with them on regularly, I’d have soooooo much itchy
What “health benefits”?
When it’s cold I go to sleep with socks on but 9 times out of 10 kick them off in the middle of the night because I get hot.
Pretty much always because of cold feet.
I’d be kicking those socks off within an hour.
I used to, but now it makes my toes hurt
I don’t even wear socks with shoes.
I can’t, don’t know why.
Mr. Hanky said, “Kyle, you should wear socks to bed!”
Never sleep naked with feet outside of covers. Feet are really hot. Love tile floors. Feel the heat for the cooler feeling.
No
Socks don’t help circulation when you’re lying prone.
Also, you can easily sleep with cold feet, but warm junk is a necessity to fall asleep. so sticking a bare foot out is a good way to lower body temperature, while still having a warm torso.
I have a difficult time sleeping with cold feet. If I shower before bed, then no, but recently I’ve been taking my infant child and showering with them too. This is much earlier than I go to bed, so I wear socks as my feet get in between.
Yes it increases blood flow
Am I the only one who hardly wears socks at any time? My feet never feel cold indoors especially so I wear sandals even during winter unless I’m going to be outside for more than a few minutes.
Can’t imagine trying to wear socks to sleep since my feet get hot when I’m laying down, often I kick off the bed sheets because of this.
Well, don’t be stingy. What are the various benefits? Lol
I do not. Any time I sleep with socks on my feet feel irritated in the morning, for some reason.
I’ve itried but I always seem to take them off in my sleep if i do
Only serial killers do
No. Gross.
If it’s cold, yes. But if its anywhere in between usually I have my feet hanging out of the covers
Yes, when I’m really cold. Inevitably, I’ll kick them off in the night when my temperature has regulated and then have to hunt for them in the morning.
Out of interest, what are the benefits?
Always. I hardly ever take my socks off
Never. It would drive me crazy. I don’t even really like to wear socks around the house.
I’m convinced that people who wear socks to bed are psychopaths.
If it’s cold and/or if I have lotion on my feet and want something to hold in the moisture a bit longer.
Business socks is how I know it’s business time
I love how yous claim there’s so many benefits but you didn’t even list one.
I can’t not wear socks to bed…or anywhere really. Unless I’m in the shower or at the beach, I always have socks on. It’s really uncomfortable to even think about not having them on.
I sleep naked, anything else feels constraining and sweaty
What are the benefits? What did she say that convinced you?
I don’t wear socks at all
No never, even when my feet are icy cold. The rest of my body will take care of that as I sleep.
I generally like to sleep when I’m a bit chill as well.
Also I like to make my feet “breathe” at night
What benefits?
I have to or else I will wake up freezing in the middle of the night
Never once. My feet give out more heat than the rest of my body combined. Those puppies have to steam outside the blanket
Yes. I’ve been wearing socks to bed for decades. Can’t sleep without them.
my mom says this is bad for my feet apparently?
Nope
My feet get soooooo got in the summer that I joke with my bf I wish he was Edward Cullen so I could cook my feet off in him. Now when I get in bed and kick my socks off he asks me if I have my “Bella feet” lmaoooo
I offen do, but for sex I feel ist’s awful.
I found as a child that if I woke up with socks on, I would forget to change the socks. So I do not
Nope, because every time i do the hairs on top of my foot start hurting!
What are the benefits of wearing socks to bed? Just asking.
All. The. Time.
No
I sometimes do, but take them off in my sleep
Socks are the only thing I wear to bed.
Nope. Never. My husband and kids don’t wear socks to bed either
My feet get cold if I don’t.
I cannot wear socks to bed, not at all! My daughter who is in her 20s though has to wear socks to bed! She says she developed the habit when she was young and she can’t break it! ( guess it’s my fault sorry haha – I used to snuggle my kiddos in warmth and socks was one way that helped them sleep so well)
No
I can wear them but they feel uncomfortable. I mostly wake up in the middle of the night to take them off. They feel to clingy
No. If I try, I might get to sleep, but I absolutely will wake up too hot within a couple hours. I could be naked except for the socks and I would have the same problem.
I have tried it on occasion, but I am too hot.
Are you going to name the benefits?
No
