Many people - mostly couples - often argue about whether to wear socks in bed, staying up for bed at night. The study, which tells Insider, confirms the expediency of such a decision.
What is the use of ordinary warm socks?
Scientists say that socks help keep feet warm during the night, and this has a positive effect on habitual sleep patterns. In particular, warming cold feet causes dilation of blood vessels, which the brain can perceive as a signal for going to sleep. Heat is gradually redistributed throughout the body, preparing the body for rest. In other words, keeping your feet warm will help you rest well if you have problems falling asleep and having a good night’s sleep.
In addition, people fall asleep in socks faster, on average, for 15 minutes, according to a study published in International Weekly Journal of Science. And that is not all! Wearing socks in bed is also useful for fevers, for improving the condition of dry feet, and even for improving the quality of sex.
Traditional Chinese medicine also recommends socks for the night to increase blood circulation throughout the body, but the cold has the opposite effect, including causing night pains.
