Doctor reacts to ultimate sleep hack?! #shorts

[keithhowell]

If my feet feel hot it is impossible to sleep.

My guess is that this is referencing the study “Effects of feet warming using bed socks on sleep quality and thermoregulatory responses in a cool environment” Yelin Ko et al. Something very important to note is that this was only conducted with 6 men between the ages of 20 and 25, and a room temperature of 23°C/73.4°F was used as a control variable. Keep in mind that this is a warmer nighttime room temperature than recommended typically, and this is a small sample size for a study. What you can conclude definitively is that wearing socks for young men at this temperature can improve sleep. This may not apply to everyone or everyone at all room temperatures. I hope this helps clarify! I hope everyone sleeps well and finds their own perfect nighttime routine!

The only problem is that when I fall asleep with socks on I wake up missing a pair of socks.

No thank you Doctor, my feet is already burning 🔥

[lilyrosesoul]

I think it depends on your climate and individual health status. For people in cold climate and who suffer from cold feet at night this may help. But for some people it may difficult to sleep with hot sweaty feet.

[Emily-ckji]

I physically could not handle that. One, it's too restrictive. Two? Much, much too hot. When I sleep, my feet often feel like they're burning. Can't sleep that way.

I often stick my feet out from the covers to keep them cool!

[shemsnow]

For years I've been intentionally leaving my feet outside of the blanket to stay cool.

[markgaumee]

As someone who already wears socks to bed I see this as an absolute win!

[cznightrider]

You know who else sleeps with socks on...PSYCHOPATHS!

[suspiciousconeofficial]

I've been a sock sleeper all my life and I feel so validated from this lmao

[LaVanaya]

Wearing socks to bed keeps your feet sweaty and provides an environment for fungal infections. Just use blankets and allow your feet to breathe at night

[DidNotReadInstructions]

I will never sleep with my socks on, like ever.

[ythunter]

This is the only time I've seen so many people disagree with Dr Karan.

[LASHH]

Am a fan of window open, socks on, take socks off when really relaxed and my temp drops and fall asleep so fast

[Khaleesi_Jack]

As someone whose toes get cold after 90 seconds without socks and has spent the last 25 years of my life constantly in socks unless I’m getting into some type of water or painting my nails, I see this an absolute WIN. Thanks Doc.

[proallnighter]

I literally cannot sleep without them. I’m glad this is recommended by a doctor.

[lunarlynx]

Within the first 2 seconds I was like nah, at the end, im still like nah

[TheFirstBigCheese]

It's not possible to sleep with warm feet, and with socks on it will block the heat in. Best way to sleep is to cool your feet in cold water or have a fan blow on them. I'm not ironic, I must do this to sleep.

[caelanforeman]

Ah yes, so I can be 10000 degrees under a blanket and wake up sweaty.
