I have Hotflasses still my socks of the first to go. Any other segations I sleep in a tee-shirt sweat. Thanks.
I sleep in a cool room and find it helps to cover my head with a lightweight stocking type cap as well as the gloves and socks. Nice and cozy and a restful nights sleep.
I tend to become exothermic when I sleep so if I wear socks to bed, I will wake up about two hours later with uncomfortably hot feet... if it's really cold when I go to bed, I use a microwaveable hot pack to warm the foot of the bed so once I get to sleep, it doesn't continue to heat or insulate my feet.
My sister raised her first born in KY. The neighbor ladies there told her to keep the Colic away, keep socks on the baby. The ladies told her to keep the babies feet warm, no colic. She never had any problems with the baby having Colic. It must work? So this also goes along with the theory of adults wearing socks to bed too.
Had to laugh, I wear socks to bed to this day. When I was growing up, we moved to the country and my parents didn't trust propane so we had a wood heat stove as the primary heat source in Winter. We were the third to the last of four homes to the end of the power line. Electricity could go out with just the sound of thunder or ice on the lines or breaking Pine limbs so with the cost of electricity, we only used small heaters in the bedrooms at night. PJ's, socks, and good blankets were the norm.
Wearing socks to bed can also lead to toe nail fungus.
