  • In cold weather, the body gets cold, so it becomes necessary to wear socks along with sweaters. It is common to wear socks to keep feet warm not only while awake but also while sleeping. But a YouTube video claims that wearing socks while sleeping is dangerous for health.

The article from MSN discusses the health benefits and considerations of wearing socks to bed. It highlights that wearing socks can help improve circulation, particularly beneficial for those with Raynaud's disease or poor circulation, by keeping the feet warm and thus aiding in vasodilation which can facilitate falling asleep faster. Additionally, warm feet might trigger a decrease in core body temperature, signaling to the body that it's time to sleep, potentially enhancing sleep quality. However, the article also notes potential downsides: socks that are too tight could restrict blood flow, and if not clean, they might lead to skin infections or exacerbate conditions like athlete's foot. The article suggests choosing the right type of socks, like those made from natural fibers, and ensuring they are clean and not overly constrictive to maximize benefits while minimizing risks.
