Many people consider wearing socks to be one of the right ways to keep ourselves warm. This is because sleeping with socks actually helps maintain body temperature within a normal range. "Certain parts of our skin help release heat early in the night, causing our internal body temperature to cool down. This is necessary for us to feel sleepy and fall asleep," said Mike Gradisar, Head of Sleep Science at Sleep Cycle.

Meredith Broderick, a sleep neurologist, explains that the skin on our hands and feet plays a significant role in maintaining body temperature within a normal range. The skin on body parts such as the soles of the feet, palms of the hands, and around the mouth area can dissipate heat more efficiently compared to the skin on other parts of the body. "These body parts contribute to the loss of heat needed for sleep when the core body temperature is lowered. In addition to helping some people regulate their core body temperature, wearing socks while sleeping can also reduce hot flashes during menopause," says Broderick.

At the end, the decision to wear socks while sleeping or not greatly depends on individual circumstances. If Sahabat Dream is unsure which option to choose, Doctor Gradisar suggests experimenting by trying both ways (sleeping with socks or sleeping without socks), then record the results and see if there is any difference between the two options. Eventually, you will feel the difference and choose the most comfortable one for your body. Report: Aykaputri Amalia Rahmani/ Source: PopSugar
