A recent university study has shown that you can fall asleep faster and get a better night’s sleep if you wear socks to bed!
It’s all about body temperature.
If your body senses that your feet are cold, it may try to overcompensate by increasing your core temperature — and when you’re hotter, it can be harder to fall asleep.
By wearing socks at night, you’ll warm up your feet and, in turn, cause the blood vessels to widen. This process is known as vasodilation and helps your body release heat through your skin, ultimately lowering your core body temperature.
And you’ll get a better sleep.
Do you wear socks to bed, especially with the warm, muggy nights we’ve been experiencing?
