Howdy, Bestie viewers! Sleep is an important part of our existence. After all, humans spend
around one-third of their time sleeping. We've all been there in the dead of winter,
with a frigid bedroom, and feet as cold as ice. You might put socks on because it's chilly
outside, but what about the rest of the year? In today’s video, we’ll talk about why you should
consider wearing socks before going to bed. Can socks help you sleep faster? What about preventing
hot flashes? We’ll talk about all this AND more… Socks can assist with dry feet
Sleeping with socks on can boost your physical and mental health. According to experts,
sleep is needed for proper brain and body function.
Most individuals have trouble sleeping from time to time. However, sleeping with their socks on
is a tactic they may not have tried. As weird as it may sound, sleeping with socks on may help you
fall asleep faster. This is because temperature control is an essential aspect of the sleep cycle.
It’s typical to have dry, rough or cracked skin on the feet. Dry skin is commonly found on the heels,
sides, and between the toes. It may cause itching, tightness, and sometimes discomfort
in the affected region. While this is annoying, it’s hardly ever hazardous. Your feet have fewer
oil glands than other parts of your body, and go through regular wear and strain.
Some easy home treatments might help you alleviate dry skin on your feet.
Wearing socks can help keep your feet moisturized if you have dry or broken heels. You can simply
apply body oil or moisturizing lotion to your feet before going to bed, and then let
the socks do their thing. Moisturizing lotions are used to interrupt the cycle of dry skin and
keep it smooth. They restore the top layer of your skin, serving as a barrier to water loss,
and replacing skin lipids and other components. You may even apply this approach to your hands!
Keeping your feet and hands covered in socks will help trap all of the moisture,
allowing the crackly, dry skin to recover. How do you treat your dry feet? Have you

We’ve all spent nights tossing and turning. Sometimes, it seems like no matter how hard you
try, you just can’t seem to catch your Z’s. Well, wearing warm socks at night can fix this problem.
The biological clock, commonly known as the circadian rhythm,
influences your core body temperature. This clock regulates sleep time, causing you to feel drowsy
at night and wake up in the morning. Body temperature increases throughout
the day. It’s at its highest in the late afternoon when you’re the most energetic.
Your body temperature then drops during the night, making you drowsy. It reaches the lowest point at
about 4 a.m. The average body temperature is 98 degrees Fahrenheit, however, it changes by 1 to
2 degrees each 24 hours. This might be due to the body preserving energy for other purposes.
According to research, wearing socks to bed may help you sleep better.
You might think that wearing socks in bed will overheat your feet. In reality,
this behaviour may help your body's internal temperature management. A study found that
people who wore either conventional or heated socks in bed slept faster.
When your feet are warm, your brain receives a signal to reduce your body temperature,
signalling your body that it’s time to sleep. Have I caught your

be avoided by wearing socks Wearing socks when sleeping
can help reduce symptoms of Raynaud's illness. Never heard of it? Well, let me fill you in!
Raynaud’s illness occurs when blood cannot flow normally. Factors such as stress or chilly weather
may contribute to it. The attack causes numbness throughout the body, as well as acute discomfort
and cramp-like sensations. The color of your fingers and toes may also turn white or blue.
Women are more likely than men to develop Raynaud’s disease,
according to studies. Controlling your internal body temperature and keeping your feet insulated
with socks can help avoid these attacks. Remember to always change your socks before going to bed,
since perspiration and daytime activities can add bacteria and dirt to your socks and feet.
There are a few different types of socks you can try if you believe sleeping with socks
could be beneficial for you. Avoid compression socks in favor of socks that are loose enough
to allow healthy blood circulation. You should also go for socks that do not absorb moisture,
as it might promote bacterial development. Socks made of natural fabrics are superior
to those made of synthetic materials, such as polyester. Make sure you change your socks
every night and wash your feet regularly. Before we move ahead, here’s another video

Socks allow you to improve your circulation
This one’s really important. Sleeping with socks helps to enhance circulation by boosting blood
flow to the feet. Healthy blood and oxygen flow is ensured by good circulation, allowing your
muscles, lungs, and heart to perform properly. Vasodilation can be aided by warming your
feet. This process opens the blood vessels and boosts blood circulation to your hands and feet,
lowering your core body temperature and telling your brain that it's time to sleep.
Because of this procedure, sleeping with socks on helps increase circulation.
If you’re someone who hates socks, a hot water bottle can keep your feet toasty and may
provide similar benefits to wearing socks in bed. You may want to try a warm foot soak before sleep,
putting on a warm pair of slippers before going to bed, sleeping with a hot water bottle near your
feet, sleeping with a blanket at the foot of the bed, or bathing one or two hours before bedtime
When using heated socks, it’s critical not to overheat them.
Contrary to popular belief, wearing socks in bed is not unsanitary.
Just make sure your socks aren’t too tight. This way, you won’t cut off circulation.
Hot flashes can be avoided by wearing socks
Have you been having hot flashes lately? They can be so frustrating to deal with.
Hot flashes are mostly caused by hormonal imbalances in the body because temperature
management is not controlled. Since enhanced circulation lowers core body temperature,
wearing warm socks at night can help you avoid hot flashes, especially in menopausal women.
Hot flashes or flushes are common symptoms of menopause in many women. Symptoms include
a sudden sense of great warmth that spreads throughout the body. There’s also sweating,
palpitations, and facial flushing. Socks' ability to reduce core body temperature during
the night can also help you avoid hot flashes. When you're attempting to lessen the frequency
and intensity of hot flashes during menopause, wearing something to warm
your feet may seem illogical. But warming your feet stimulates blood circulation,
which helps regulate body temperature and may help minimize the frequency of hot flashes.
Warm socks can help you stay healthy
Health should be one of our top priorities, especially during the pandemic. We’re always
looking for new ways to combat sickness. Luckily, socks can help us here as well.
Whether you sleep in socks or take a bath before bed, warming your feet will definitely help you
fall asleep faster. If nothing else, adding a hot foot massage or a relaxing bath before
bed might help you switch gears from a hectic day to a more relaxing one.
Adults normally require 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night. Sleep deprivation can have a
detrimental influence on attention, memory, and mood. Chronic sleep deprivation can also raise the
risk of heart disease, depression, and obesity. You have a better chance of sleeping better and
more peacefully if you sleep wearing socks since they reduce your body temperature and
help your blood flow better. The comfort and ease increase your chances of getting longer sleep.
More sleep equals improved health, happiness, and energy to get you through the day.
Having warm feet is so comforting. It will make the rest of your body feel so good.
