Do you sleep with socks on? You’re not alone: millions of people do it every night, especially when temperatures drop. But does this comfortable habit really help you fall asleep… or could it even be harmful to your health? Science has something to say about that.
The surprising benefits of sleeping with
socks: Studies supported by the American Heart Association show that warm feet at night help the body regulate its temperature more quickly, thus making it easier to fall asleep. A study published in 2023 in the journal “Sleep Medicine” found that people who wear socks fall into deep sleep up to 20% faster than those who sleep barefoot.
