Is it good to wear socks to sleep in winter? Is it taboo to wear socks to sleep?

Many people say that wearing socks to sleep is very bad. In fact, wearing socks to sleep has advantages and disadvantages. It depends on personal circumstances. Wearing socks to sleep is necessary to keep your feet warm, but it is not good for blood circulation.

Choose according to your actual situation

1. If you feel uncomfortable sleeping with socks on, don’t wear them.

Our body has its own selection mechanism. If something is good for the body, it will automatically accept it after a period of time, and if it is not good for health, it will reject it. In other words, if you feel uncomfortable wearing socks to sleep for a few days, you don't need to wear them. Maybe you shouldn't wear them at night, or maybe they are too tight.

2. Wear comfortable socks

When wearing socks, you must pay attention to the comfort of your feet. Try to wear cotton socks. Don’t wear socks that cause static electricity on your feet or bind your feet too tightly, which will cause discomfort in your feet. This discomfort will compress your peripheral nerves and hinder blood circulation in your feet. If you keep wearing tight socks, you may get colder and colder. Moreover, wearing socks that are uncomfortable for a long time will affect your sleep quality.

3. Don’t wear it if your feet sweat easily

Night is the best time to let your feet breathe. If you are afraid that your feet will sweat too much and affect others or that your feet will sweat on your bed sheets, then wearing socks overnight is not a good choice. Foot sweat may be caused by excessive moisture, excessive exercise, or other reasons. Don't treat the symptoms instead of the root cause. This will affect your health.

4. Wear clothes when your feet are often exposed outside the quilt

If you always unconsciously expose your feet outside when you sleep, it is recommended that you wear them to avoid affecting your sleep quality and making you more susceptible to illness.

In fact, wearing socks to sleep has advantages, but also disadvantages. Wearing socks to sleep can indeed keep you warm. However, if your feet are prone to cold, it is recommended that you adjust your body, especially your diet. Then, soak your feet in hot water every night before going to bed. It will be much better if you get into bed while your feet are warm. You don't need to wear socks to sleep. Here is a brief introduction to wearing socks to sleep. In general, wearing socks to sleep is not conducive to blood circulation and skin metabolism. Wearing socks to sleep will cause the feet to "breathe" obstructed. In addition, wearing socks too much can easily cause athlete's foot. The feet gather the meridians of the whole body, so people often say "cold feet, cold body". Soaking feet in hot water before going to bed is a practice that many people are accustomed to to promote sleep.

What socks to wear to keep warm in winter

Wool socks are the warmest, followed by rabbit fur socks. However, both types of socks shed easily, so it depends on whether you can accept it.

1. Rabbit hair

The fiber is soft, fluffy, warm and has good moisture absorption capacity, but low strength. Most of them are blended. The commonly used rabbit hair content ratio is 70% rabbit hair and 30% nylon.

2. Wool

It is mainly composed of an insoluble protein, with good elasticity, full hand feel, strong moisture absorption, good warmth retention, not easy to stain, soft luster, excellent dyeability. Due to its unique shrinkage property, it generally needs to be treated with shrink-proof treatment to ensure the size of the fabric. The disadvantage is that it is not easy to dry.

3. Cotton

Usually we like to choose to wear pure cotton socks. Cotton is hygroscopic, moisturizing, heat-resistant, alkali-resistant, and hygienic. It has no irritation or negative effects when in contact with the skin. It is beneficial and harmless to the human body when worn for a long time, and has good hygienic properties. However, is pure cotton 100% cotton? The answer of sock experts is no. If the composition of a pair of socks is 100% cotton, then this pair of socks is cotton! There is no elasticity at all! The shrinkage rate of 100% cotton socks is particularly high, and they are not durable. Usually, socks with a cotton content of more than 75% can be called pure cotton socks, and socks with a cotton content of 85% are very high-end cotton socks. Cotton socks also need to add some functional fibers to maintain the elasticity, fastness and comfort of the socks. Spandex, nylon, acrylic, polyester, etc. are very common functional fibers.

4. Combed cotton

Combed cotton is the long and neat cotton fiber left after the shorter fibers in ordinary fibers are removed by a machine called a comber. Because the short cotton fibers and other fiber impurities are removed, the cotton yarn spun from combed cotton is finer, and the finished product feels smoother and more comfortable, which is a better quality among cotton products. Combed cotton is more resilient and less prone to pilling. Combed cotton yarn is smoother and flatter, and the surface of the fabric is flat and free of cotton knots. The dyeing effect is also good.

5. Spandex

Spandex is commonly known as elastic fiber, which has high elasticity and strong stretchability. Its stretching length can reach 5-7 times of the original fiber. Textile products with spandex can maintain their original outline. Socks must contain spandex to make the socks elastic and retractable, making them easier to wear and making them fit the feet better, just like a swimsuit that can wrap tightly around the feet and prevent them from slipping off.

6. Wood pulp fiber

Wood pulp fiber has a fine unit fineness and a very soft feel. It has good color fastness and bright colors. It has good drape, is soft and smooth, and does not stick to the body. It is softer than cotton and has a unique silky feel. Due to the natural antibacterial function of wood fiber products, the products made do not need to add any synthetic antibacterial agents and will not cause skin allergies. It has extremely strong water absorption and oil removal and decontamination capabilities. In particular, its water absorption and air permeability are better than traditional cotton fabrics and other plant fibers.

Why do socks become hard?

1. Traditional detergents are difficult to effectively remove dirt from socks. The dirt remains hidden in the washed socks and may cause the socks to become hard.

2. After being washed many times, the original softness of socks will be greatly reduced, and they will feel more hard and crusty.

3. Minerals such as calcium and magnesium ions in the water react with elements in detergents, and after repeated washing, they will become hard through deposition.
