Sleep Tip: Wear Socks In Bed For Better Sleep
The feeling of warmth and security on your feet is perfect for inducing a sleep-like state that will have you drifting off in no time. A Swiss study also found that when the body prepares to sleep, the body's temperature regulation system redistributes warmth from the core of the body to your extremities. Having cold signals coming from the feet demands more of the body and upsets the production of melatonin, the hormone most closely related to your sleep cycle.
But which socks should you wear? Don't just put on your dowdy old holes-in-the-heel black work socks made of well-worn threadbare materials.Why not treat yourself to some luxurious cashmere bed socks and really make going to bed every night feel like the treat it really is!
If you sleep on a mattress that's too hot, of course there's a risk of becoming too warm in the night and waking up as a result, but you can counter this by choosing a mattress which has built-in temperature regulation, like the breathable Dormeo Octaspring, which will keep your body at the perfect temperature all through the night.
Of course when it comes to... er... other more adult-themed bedroom activities, the wearing of socks is well-known as a strict no-no, particularly on gentlemen.
