I used to always have this thing where it would take me forever to get to sleep without socks on my feet. My feet were always cold. Now that its summertime I don't have to wear them. I also like to let my feet breathe.
If I curl my blankets around my feet then I don't have to sleep with socks on. Sometimes in the winter I'll turn my space heater on as well. I live in the basement so its cold.
So it really depends on a lot of things.

That knitted afghan sounds great. I need to get me one of those!
I have one of the those fuzzy blankets and its pretty warm. I also have a Quilt, a duvey, a childs Quilt, and a thin blanket. Sometimes I'll use them all. It can get really hot. I usually don't sleep well unless I'm sweating.

I make bed socks especially for this. I don't use them all the time, but when it's cold, they sure do help keep my feet warm. When I was a kid, we slept in unheated bedrooms and we would heat rocks on the wood stove, them wrap them in towels and take them to bed to put our feet against. That felt so good!

Yes, I knit the bed socks, but not out of wool. I use lightweight acrylic yarn for that. If my bedroom was really cold, I'd use wool.
Another thing Mom started doing after we got older was to fill gallon jugs with secure lids with hot water. That keeps your feet warm, too - like a hot water bottle, but bigger so the heat lasts longer. Rocks last longest, though. We would wake up in morning with the rocks still warm.

No, I can not stand for socks to be on my feet when I go to sleep. I just to not be able to stand the covers to touch my feet but I am better about that now. I would like to be able to sleep with socks on as my feet freeze,but I can't.

I know its a bit gross, but in winter i cant sleep without socks. Firstly, they help keep my feet warm, and if they are warm, then its much easier to have my whole body warm.
Furthermore, i use the socks to lock in position the lowest part of my pyjama trousers, so that it wont go higher and leave my lower leg uncovered

It depends, when I am cold when i go to sleep then yes I will wear socks. But I am not a big sock person in the summer I usually wear flip flops. But since its starting to make my feet rough I think I need to start wearing socks and shoes. But sometimes i feel comfortable wearing socks to bed.

I wear socks alot and tennis shoes. My feet are so soft so maybe there is something to not wearing flip flops all the time. I do wear them but not everyday. I start out at night with socks on but once my feet warm up, off they come. Thanks for responding.

I agree with you about the flooring. It's the owner's responsibility to take care of the floor. I wear socks around the house also during the day since my feet are cold most of the time. Every night I start out with socks on my feet but slip them off later. Thanks for responding.

I can't stand wearing socks while I'm sleeping. In the winter time when my feet do get cold and intangle my feet in my fiances legs and he always seems to warm them up and keep them warm for the night. One thing about him he is an excellent heater. He always seems to keep me warm.

Nope. I can't stand to sleep with socks on. I hate wearing socks normally, so I definitely can't stand wearing them in bed. My feet tend to get hot when I sleep, so I have to have bare feet and be able to pop at least one of my feet out of the covers.

For the most part no and some how they always will fall off when i sleep . In the winter from time to time i will wear them , because my feet do freeze.

For me, it depends on the weather. In the winter months, I most definitely have to wear socks to bed. The same as you, if my feet are cold, I'm not falling asleep. In the summer months though, I find that I really don't need them.

Wool? Oh my gosh, I can't stand the feeling of wool. I almost NEVER wear socks to bed, but I do love wearing the softest soft plush socks that I can find when my tootsies are cold. Actually, I'm really quirky about my feet - I love them being bare, but can't stand them being dirty. If I must wear socks, then I want them to be soft and cozy, and practically brand-new. Actually, talking about it made me realize that my feet're cold right now, so I think that I'll go put on a pair that I just bought today!

I haven't experience winter so I don't wear socks to sleep. Maybe if I get to migrate to a colder place, I will have to. My friends who have worked in Madrid did say she had to wear socks during bedtime.
