This morning's poll on Bing was asking whether or not I prefer to wear socks to bed or go barefoot. I answered "socks on" because right now it is winter, and during the winter I wear socks to bed.
But if it had been summer, my answer would have been different.
In the summer I go barefoot to bed. So, what about you. Socks on or socks off?

I hate it when people wear flip flops or sandals when they have those bulky white socks on. That is a bad fashion trend.

I do not wear socks no matter the season. I want my feet to breathe. Besides, I sleep under a down blanket so it keeps my feet warm.

@porwest wrap your blanket around your feet and you’ll be fine without socks.

@porwest Now that's a funny image. Although I bet it would hurt and nothing to laugh about. Why do we laugh when someone hurts themselves anyway?

@porwest I can't stand sweaty feet. I like my feet to breathe. They get cold for sure.

@Beestring To me that would make matters worse. Kind of like stepping out of a piping hot shower in the winter. I am instantly cold again. lol

@porwest In extremely cold weather, I soak my feet in hot water before going to bed.

When I was younger I went barefoot most of the time. Socks on in the winter.

I normally don't wear socks to bed.
However there are certain times during December and January when the Mercury drops to Max-Min of something like 14-5 C
or 12 - 2 C.
My feet also feels cold.
So I wear socks when sleeping.
Thankfully, there are not too many such days.
Scientifically, I have heard that wearing socks to bed is not recommended because it curbs air circulation.
Yet I am not 100 % sure about that!

Here in India one never feels the need to wear socks while in bed and in fact I never wear socks.

@porwest No, I'm saying I'm always too hot and Pretty is always too cold. So she makes me keep the temp in the house set at 73F all the time or she'll set up electric heaters every time she comes out of her room. We can't afford to pay for that. It's cheaper for me to be too hot.

I tend to go without socks to bed all year round. Honestly, I go without socks a lot throughout the day as well. In the summer, I am barefooted most of the time.

I always wear them in the winter during the day but never at night. Do you ever ask yourself what they do with the information that they collect on these online polls? Maybe they will send your info to sock manufacturers and you will get some money off vouchers.
