Michelle Drerup, the director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Cleveland Clinic, explained that even though a cool room is ideal for sleep, it’s important to keep your feet toasty. “It sounds counterintuitive, I know, but by wearing socks to bed and warming your feet, you may actually lower your core body temperature and fall asleep faster,” Drerup told CNN

It's too hot when you sleep with socks on.

Oh.

Well, not my experience.

Apologies.

I did not realize you may have had a different experience than I have had.

That's okay. It's not too serious. I was just having fun.

I, too, was joking around.

In that case all is well, and may you experience moments that become happier by the year!

All is well on my end too. I hope you have a great one, and realize that IT'S TOO HOT TO SLEEP WITH SOCKS ON!!!

I'm sleeping with socks on for about 10 years now

I started out because my (back then) cat liked to play with my toes using his claws which was painful and disturbing. So i decided to start wearing thick socks to not feel anything like this anymore during sleep time and it worked (tho the cat still played with my toes).

Now i don't have a cat for several years, but i'm still wearing socks to sleep (not because of the benefit mentioned, but because i'm so used to it)

EDIT: just now i noticed 2 typos

I've actually been using this new technology called a blanket. My feet have stayed warm.
