Psychology Reveals What It Means to Sleep with Socks On
Some people sleep in socks, while others don’t. Why is that? Psychology has looked into the matter—and the answer might surprise you. This simple habit goes far beyond comfort; it can actually reveal certain personality traits. Curious? Read on to find out more.
So, Do You Sleep with Your Socks On?
When it comes to bedtime habits, the world seems to be divided into two distinct camps: those who love wearing socks at night and those who can’t imagine anything worse. So, which team are you on?
For some, the idea of feeling sheets directly against their skin is unbearable. For others, the thought of keeping their feet “trapped” all night long is just as unpleasant. While it often comes down to thermal comfort—cold-sensitive people tend to favor cozy toes, while others prefer the freedom of bare feet—there’s more going on beneath the surface.
It turns out this seemingly trivial choice can reveal some surprising truths about your personality.
Why You Should Wear Socks to Bed
Science says that sleeping with warm feet might be the secret to longer, more restful nights. According to a study conducted by scientists at Seoul National University in South Korea—published in the Journal of Physiological Anthropology—participants who wore socks to bed slept an average of 32 minutes longer each night.
Even more interesting, they experienced fewer nighttime awakenings compared to those who slept barefoot. Oddly enough, this wasn’t due to a major shift in overall body temperature. The reason remains unclear, but the results speak for themselves.
So, even if you’ve never tried it, you might want to give socks a shot—at least for one night!
