Do you wear socks to bed?

Posted by & filed under Other / Canada.

Get your mind out of the gut­ter! I’m talk­ing about sleep.  When you go to sleep at night do you lose the socks or keep ‘em on?  I gen­er­ally wear socks to bed unless it’s really hot out. My toot­sies get chilly very eas­ily.  I’m also a blan­ket thief and end up uncov­er­ing my own feet all the time. I only ever wear ankle socks though, socks that are any higher annoy me.  My hus­band is the oppo­site. He can­not sleep with socks on at all.

Socks or no socks?

    I started wear­ing socks at night recently (only in win­ter) and it is so com­fort­able as my feet get cold eas­ily. Most of the time although when i wake up, i have to find one of the socks in the blan­ket ;)

    Always the fun ques­tions… socks and lotion when I get croc­o­dile feet in the hope of revers­ing the situation.

    Never! And I have to waer shorts, no pants! Don’t like my pants get­ting all twisted while I sleep!

    I read once that wear­ing socks to bed helped one sleep bet­ter. I didn’t believe it but fig­ured I had noth­ing to lose. Turns out it really does. Now come sum­mer there is no way I am wear­ing socks to sleep.

    No socks for me, It doesn’t mat­ter how cold it is out­side mt feet are always always hot. It’s a faimly trait lol I could never wear socks to bed, I just get annoyed

    Only when my feet are freez­ing cold (usu­ally when camp­ing!). I can’t focus on sleep when I am try­ing to warm up my feet! I would say maybe 30 days out of the 365 days haha.

    socks to bed. yuck, dis­gust­ing. I couldn’t stand it! and yes.. I’ve tried

    I love this ques­tion. Any­one I have EVER had a sleep­over with have always com­mented how it is weird, and some have even tried to force me to take them off–but I won’t! My feet feel exposed unless I wear socks to bed :)

    Socks in bed? long pants or top? NO way a tor­ture, I have not even tried them, unthink­able, unimag­in­able, I just can’t sleep!!! The strange thing is that I fall asleep often fully clothed with even my shoes on, in bed, on the couch, in the car??? I think is the old age, no offense, though.

    I have just started. Wool no less. I have poor circ. and it helps keep them warm. I was in the hos­pi­tal for a week with­out socks and it was tough. The weird thing was that the doc­tor noticed my feet didn’t feel cold when I was com­plain­ing of such. I had a girl­friend once that con­sid­ered it very unat­trac­tive to wear such things to bed. I told that at least I took my run­ners off…

    sometimes.…depends on how cold I am.…but like oth­ers, by the time my morn­ing comes, they tend to be thrown across the other side of the room. I used to wear them all the time but then I started get­ting REALLY hot feet in the sum­mer time that socks were omit­ted from my reg­u­lar routine.

    Almost every night! If I don’t wear socks to bed, I shiver through­out the night! Except in the summer.

    No socks to bed, even at –40 — and socks in gen­eral as lit­tle as often; I feel suf­fo­cated by them!
    Hus­band is my foot and body warmer, if need be.

  14. Valerie

    I have to wear my spe­cial mohair sock and then I will fall asleep.

  15. Nayya

    No socks! Tho I always put a folded blan­ket over the feet when putting the sheets on the bed so it keeps my feet warm ^_^!

    Not usu­ally socks to bed. A few years ago, my toes would get exces­sively cold and I would wear ankle socks to bed, and like many oth­ers, they would slide off by morn­ing. Not quite sure what changed, but in the last cou­ple years, I can’t sleep with socks on, even if it’s really cold under the cov­ers. I’ve used hot water bot­tles at the foot of the bed to warm up the spot, though.

    Hi,
    If my feet are cold, YES to sox! I recall some acci­den­tal study by NASA that socks can help you sleep faster because it improves your body cir­cu­la­tion and low­ers your body tem­per­a­ture thus enabling you to fall asleep faster.

    (The NASA study was acci­den­tal because the astro­nauts fell asleep with their socks on and from there, they found out that wear­ing sox helps!)

    In the win­ter, most nights. I usu­all end up kick­ing them off at some point through­out the night though! I have quite the stash of socks at the end of my bed!
    In the sum­mer how­ever, I never wear them! Too hot with them!

    We keep our house much cooler than most peo­ple to save on energy. For this rea­son, socks in bed are a neces­sity for me, as are slip­pers in the daytime!

  20. kekes

    I have a pair of knit­ted bed slip­pers I wear when my cir­cu­la­tion to my legs/feet is bad. If I can get my feet warm the rest of me stays warm!

  21. Jen

    I have poor cir­cu­la­tion in my feet and as a result my feet are always cold–but I just can’t wear socks to bed! Or with shoes, can’t stand that!

    The only time I like wear­ing socks is with san­dals, that’s sur­pris­ingly com­fort­able for me. (Plus it means no one can see my feet! I don’t know about any­one else but I HATE see­ing other people’s feet… grosses me out!)

  22. saver

    i get cramps in my feet if i don’t .…i’m always cold ‘cept in the sum­mer. i know it isnt very sexy however…

  23. Anisa

    No socks, but to my hus­bands dis­may I cre­ate a foot pocket! where I tuck the blan­kets under my feet… dri­ves him crazy because I am so short!!

  24. dizzyb

    Socks when my feet are cold, oth­er­wise I have trou­ble falling asleep. No socks if feet are warm.

  25. Denise W

    only on the most bit­ter cold night and if i wake up later, off they go. too warm for me.

  26. tudorchick

  27. crochetlady

    I hate wear­ing socks at any time so def­i­nitely no socks in bed.

  28. Patty

    Can’t stand socks in bed. I tried but “NOP” it does not work for me. I also need to have my feet off the blanket.…then put them back inside. lol

    Socks, the terry spa kind with very lit­tle elas­tic, for cold nights are a must along with flan­nel sheets. Oth­er­wise, there is no sleep and hud­dling for warmth.

    The reg­u­lar socks tend to have elas­tic that is too tight for sleep.

  30. jicky

    I DO wear socks to sleep!! I usu­ally wear my toe-socks and they keep my feet warm through­out the night. Very sel­dom will i wear it in the summer.

    I took it off when I go to bed. We already wears socks dur­ing the day. Our feet need some time to breathe out when we in bed.
    I believe (don’t know if I shouldn’t or not) and was being told from my great grand­mama that we will get “blind” if we wears socks in bed, due to the whole feet is being ‘tighted’ and ‘cov­ered’.
    Noth­ing hurt me if I take it off when I’m in bed, right !?
    Same the­ory peo­ple, walk on bare feet, right on the top of small stone, since there’s so many nerves under our feet, for being healthier.
