Anytime, I wear socks to sleep I usually overheat or wake up sweating

[noemisaed]

I’ve hated wearing socks to bed since I was a little kid. I can’t fall asleep wearing them.

[conniewhall]

Yep. Dern near impossible for me to fall asleep with cold feet.
1st: Sox. Any kind, just about.
But not past my ankles.
2nd: Remove sox after 10 minutes or so.
3rd: If, when I wake up, & my feet are cold, I simply snug them back under my blanket.
4: Because of menopause, cold feet, rarely, rarely occur even every other year or so.
5: However, in the event my feet are so cold I can't stand myself, I will go with KNEE sox & an extra blanket just for my feet, under all of the other blankets.
- You see, my Army podiatrist told me a long time ago, if I do just something little for my feet, they not only are grateful, but they will take good care of me.
- When I take a shower, I set the stopper down so my feet can soak. Even those few minutes are worth my while. My body temperature stays warmer longer.
Nice.

i find socks uncomfortable my feet start to sweat and itch, you can achieve the same result with having a heavy blanket on your feet.

[melissamundle]

I can't sleep with socks on. I have to have one foot out of the covers 😂

[dianamargaritavasquez]

I totally agree. Proof that with myself.

[Suzanne]

Socks end up irritated my feet. Doesn't matter what type. I've even tried those really expensive ones. It almost feels like there's sand inside, rubbing against my toes. So very uncomfortable!!

[cathystrydom]

I wear summer a winter socks. It is true❤❤

[urdailymemesofficial]

OHH SO THATS WHY I FALL ASLEEP FASTER WITH SOCKS ON! I thought it was just me :3

[tonycastle]

I've worn ankle socks to bed forever, wouldn't have it any other way.

[HeyHeyItsMe]

How I always wear socks to bed, I can't have stuff not on my feet it's uncomfortable, and yet I still have bad sleep, and hard time falling asleep!!

[MelonieG]

It also takes what ever you step on, with you. Socks are great at collecting hair and dirt we may miss.

[CanadianEh]

I would rather have insomnia than be butt naked with socks on. Cool tip though

[Heisenberg]

I always sleep with socks, i hate it without idk

[jaynesimmons]

Winter in New England = socks on feet. Mine are a light cashmere so nice and cosey

[harikyoki]

I can't wear socks for very long. my feet overheat

[neversaynever]

Yes, feel cosy. My feet are normally cold so socks help to relax

[untine]

Since we were socks all days wouldn't giving the feet time to breathe be more optimal for foot care?

[stargazer.]

Thanks I put them on because I keep my feet out from under cover, and it's a game changer ❤❤ thank Doc..

[beckys]

I lothe the feeling of socks. I just wrap the bottom of my comforter around my feet. That way I can kick it away when I can't stand the feeling anymore.
