CNMany people like to wear socks to sleep, especially in winter, thinking that wearing socks at night can keep you warm. So how about wearing socks to sleep at night? A study by the Swiss National Sleep Laboratory found that wearing socks to sleep is fast.
The researchers recruited a group of volunteers and divided them into two groups, one group wearing socks to sleep, the other group not. It was found that compared with those who did not wear socks, those who wore socks to sleep at night had higher temperature of hands and feet than room temperature, and the average time to sleep was shorter.
When a person is about to fall asleep, the central nervous system redistributes heat from the core of the body to the hands and feet. Therefore, methods such as using hot water bottles for heating, covering the calves with warm blankets, and wearing socks will accelerate the process of heat transfer and distribution. This will help promote the secretion and release of sleep hormones and make people fall asleep faster.
