Do you wear socks to sleep?

I live in a city where it is cold all year round. But it can really get colder from November to late February. It is during this time of the year that I make sure I wear socks to sleep. I hate the feeling of having cold feet especially when I am already in bed.

Every night even during the summer. My feet stay cold and I can relate to you not wanting to have cold feet while in the bed. Ever since I can remember I would wear socks to bed. I don't have to listen to my spouse telling me my feet are cold.

I sleep with naked feet anything like the cold weather and hot never wear socks. I felt that day in my life will smell like vinegar, and I do not like the smell of socks. Currently weather is cold, Maybe it was my habit and can not change habits.

hello may, it's actually a lot more disgusting when we are actually smelling after using it jogging in the middle of the afternoon. but i swear i have never done that you know. i never wear socks before sleep unless it's really really cold. so, it's better not to smell if you don't want to get fainted

Hi dolce_vita78, I never wear socks in bed, don't know why but I just don't like anythin on my feet other the a blanket over it, in the UK is always cold except on a hot summer's day which only lasts a few weeks, keep your tootsies warm and take care. Tamara

Well I have feet that stay cold all the time, thanks to my Mom. It's a genectic disfunction and I live in Houston. Currently it's 76 degrees and we have the ac on. Even in summer my feet are always cold. I absolutely wear socks to bed and have been known to wear 2 pair!!

Yes, some times I do. It is very cold here now and to be with bare feet ...I freeze. SO I will wear socks to keep my feet warm as well as the rest of me. Because, if my feet are cold then so is the rest of my body.

Oh! We have the same sensitivity. My feet are the part that got cold easily and made me feel so cold that can make my teeth crashing each other.

Yes, and when I get a chill it takes forever for me to get warm again.

I don't really have a habit of wearing socks when I go to sleep but, I usually get to do that when it is really cold, regardless of the time or season. I would wear them like if the room is very cold due to the aircon turned to a so cold temperature. Perhaps it just rained so much that the evening went colder than usual.

No, I don't usually wear socks to sleep. It's not something that I really like doing. I might do it, only when I'm really cold, or something like that. Otherwise, I don't really do it. I feel a lot more comfortable sleeping without socks on.

No, i don't have this habit, even though the weather is too cold, maybe it is very warm when you get into the bed, but in the middle of night, our feet would be too hot to make me awake,so i don't do that as it is very hard to sleep in the rest time. i prefer to use the hot-water bottle. good luck and have a nice day!

LOL, I always seem to have cold feet at night so I have several socks that I wear to sleep exclusively. I had to find some that were not too thick since I have a cat that cuddles my feet and they can get too hot. And if they are too thin, then I just can't sleep with cold feet! Also, at least once a week, I slather on some lotion and then put the socks on, keeps my feet soft as they should be! Take care!

socks - when you have colds, put Vicks vaporub on your soles and wear socks when you go to sleep. this is good for stuffy nose.
Hi Dolce_Vita, We are not so cold in this part of the country. But I still get to wear socks when I go to sleep on some nights. This would happen when I am sick or when I have colds. This has been my long remedy for stuffy nose and it is hard to sleep. I rub Vicks vaporub on my soles and then wear socks. It works for me all the time. Try it when you have colds. I had this piece of advice from a cousin who is outside the country.

I never wear socks to bed and once I've switched to pajamas I always go barefoot, I never wear slippers either. I guess my feet can handle the cold and I'm just used to it. I live in Washington state if you wanted to know what temps I live in.

Hi Dolce_vita! I see you come from Baguio! I also grew up in Baguio, until I moved to Manila about a year ago. When I was in Baguio, I usually wear my socks when I sleep. You know how cold it is there. I find it difficult to sleep with cold feet. But when I am staying in the lowlands, I don’t wear one because it is so hot. My 4 year old son sometimes wears his socks at night even when it is warm.

I don't wear socks to sleep because I am in the habit of it, but my nephew has had this habit every since he was a small kid. If he does not wear his socks, he finds it hard to fall asleep.

i have this thing that for me to sleep my feet should be touching something, preferably a pillow. but i just discovered the comfort socks give me especially in making me fall asleep fast and soundly. i just discovered this in the past few months where it had been cold here in the philippines. i just have to wait and see whether this would still work during the summer.

hey there are four very sensitive parts of our body where we can catch cold very easily. these are: nose ear chest feet. you can imagine about being having your feet cold. i use socks only when i roam outside either in shoes or slippers.

ya...but only when it gets really cold here. Since i live on the top floor apartment in my building, my room stays much chiller and as a result i do wear socks in winters,...though i wear them for about 15 days or so only in the whole year.
