5 reasons why I sleep in socks
Several years ago, I could not even imagine that someday I would not be able to sleep without socks. A strange habit, isn't it? So it seemed to me. And then I was advised in this way to get rid of insomnia and some other problems. I decided to give it a try. Surprisingly, the nights I slept in socks are no longer sleepless. And this is not the only reason that I sleep in socks. I tell the rest.
Sleeping in socks helps you fall asleep faster
Our body temperature has a direct effect on the body's circadian rhythms, which control the alternation of sleep and wakefulness.
Thermoregulation of the human body works in such a way that a decrease in temperature in one part of the body can cause it to rise in another. That is, if it is cold to the legs, then the head will become much warmer, and the brain will receive a signal of wakefulness (it's not for nothing that it can be so difficult to fall asleep in a hot room).
Conversely, if you warm your legs, for example, put on socks, you can slightly lower the temperature in the rest of the body, and then the brain will receive the command to "sleep".
Prevention of seizures
Night cramps and involuntary twitching, known as restless legs syndrome, can significantly impair sleep quality. During the night, a person often wakes up, and in the morning he feels tired and overwhelmed.
You can cope with the problem by going to bed in socks. This will improve blood flow to your feet and minimize the chances of night cramps.
Menopause relief
Improving blood circulation in the lower extremities will help reduce the intensity of the so-called hot flashes during menopause. The habit of wearing socks before bed will help reduce the frequency of unpleasant symptoms of menopause, and sometimes even get rid of them altogether.
Smooth heels
Wearing socks helps to retain moisture in the feet, which slows down the aging process, and the skin of the feet remains smooth and supple for longer. It is especially useful to wear socks at night for owners of dry, cracking skin. In this case, it does not hurt to grease your heels with cream and put on socks. The result of such procedures will definitely please.
Improving the quality of intimate life
The habit of sleeping in socks can be beneficial for both men and women. In the former, warming the legs helps improve blood flow to the pelvic organs and improve erections, while in women, the sensation of warmth in the leg area helps to feel protected and relaxed. And this is also very important for full sexual satisfaction.
