Good night of sock sleep

Does anyone else have a better nights sleep while wearing socks?:-D I tried this last night after not sleeping too good for a while and I had the best nights sleep I've had in ages,I've felt great all day.

So is there anything in this?

 

Are you sure it was the socks and not the bottle of good ol' #7 :-D:-D:-D

 

FILL A SOCK WITH LAVENDER, DONT PUT IT ON THOUGH:-D PUT IT NEXT TO OR INSIDE YOUR PILLOW:wave

 

Loads of people I've spoke to said they slept better when wearing socks,something to do with the nerve endings in your feet.

I've held off googling for the answer and started a thread instead just so everyone can make fun of me:-D

Yes the socks are on my my feet Tim not on my hands,Tony the only way lavender comes anywhere near me is if its a shade of car paint on a car I'm painting for a Woman.:-D

Right google will put this thread to bed then:cool

So there's been a swiss study done which proves that people fall to sleep twice as fast while wearing socks but I can't find a direct link to it just hearsay.

 

Hehe, Ricky said socks, not a sock. :-D

Yeah, I put a few drops of lavender oil extract on a kleenex next to my pillow, breathe deeply in and out and that helps to relax you for a good sleep.

 

I know :-D

I made Google rank 5 with "Better sleep wearing socks":-D

On them! On them!:-D

Things really heating up now in the poll,no difference climbing into the lead by a fraction. 2-1

Where's Maxwell? I need a sophisticated alghorythm the algglomerate the numbers.Hope the Majorgeek servers aren't bottlnecking.

Wait a minute I haven't voted on my own poll! A kin to the president casting his ballot only a little more prestigious,,,, there... Ha Ha I've tied things up. 2-2

Usually I vote for things and don't even click anything:-D

 

Double bagged? :-D

I can't answer the poll because sleeping with socks on makes me sleep worse because I will wake up in the night and have to take them off because either my feet get too hot or I get that sock crease in my legs which itches.

 

I would really like to try it, but I absolutely cannot sleep in socks, even when it's freezing cold. For some reason it makes my claustrophobia kick into overdrive...I can't even have my covers tucked in at the bottom of the bed. Sleeping better would be a bonus if it was an option, though.

 

rolleyesWell.....I always sleep with socks on so.....How can I tell????

 

I was going to ask! ROFL

 

When you get up at night to go to the Head,
is that what they call a Sock Hop??? :dancer

As for the poll - don't know.

I'll have to Sleep On It. :tired

 

Well, you get overheated feet and thus sweat more, unless you have poor circulation in your feet. It ruins the socks, ends with with smelly feet, etc.. I reckon it is more psychological that you sleep better with socks after someone had told that was the case. There is certainly a relationship between body termperature and sleep and which varies with age, dreams, lifestyle events, health, diet, etc.. - just so many variables.

 

That's what I thought too could cause clots ect.

The confusing thing is there are special sleep socks for sale and also circulation socks,a little different to normal socks though they pull right up to the knee's compressing all the blood vessels in the lower leg not just the feet,I imagine the elastic in socks can cut circulation at the cankles.

Wore socks again last night,completely knocked me out.I usually wake up a couple of times a night due to noises ect but I slept through in one solid block like I'd been drugged:-D

The difference is so pronounced it can't be a placebo effect,one thing that sprung to mind is that I sleep with the window open and just have a single sheet covering because I'm always hot but I felt colder with the socks on and needed an extra blanket:confused

I wonder if the feet can have such a marked effect on body temperature:confused

I saw a documentary about feet and they proved that your feet have an effect on your whole well being.One of things they did was to chill feet in cold water for 10 mins then put on warm socks,the participants felt a pronounced feeling of well being and relaxedness for the next couple of hours and I totally concur I've tried it and it works.

Saying that I'm not a fan of reflexology or any alternative medicine,I've never seen any studies that prove it works,I know there are lots of nerve endings in the feet but I doubt they connect to and can effect every other organ and part of the body.

 

Those circulation/compression socks are hell on earth! They are absolutely NOTHING like regular socks...the material they are made out of is harder to stretch than, say, a wooden board. They wanted me to wear them after my knee surgery since I am prone to blood clots, but I made myself get up and walk almost immediately to avoid them. :-D

I've never heard of wearing socks to bed having anything to do with causing blood clots, though. Not that it couldn't, but even when I landed in the hospital after a clot in my leg broke up and moved to my lungs they didn't mention anything about it. In fact, they got mad at me for taking off those stupid slipper socks they give you when I was in bed.

 

I have this large electrical boot with several settings for the colder days as I like a cool temp to sleep in and like you, my feet are freezing. This is one reason I love floor heating, it could be 10C in the room but as long as my feet are warm, I'm fine.

 

Hahaha! Thankfully, that hasn't come here yet as it's prevalent in the States, maybe it's because the French gals here have a tad more decorum or a better sense of fashion. I don't know about the rest of Canada though.

 

The french girls here do ALOT of things better auggie

Good weird or weird as in get away from me before I phone the police:confused :-D

They can knock up a cheese and ham jambon like a mofo.

 

What's that Rikky, a ham between thighs?roflmao Maybe jambon means something different over there.:confused

 

Typed that wrong:-D They can knock up a cheese and jambon sandwich like a mofo.No double entendre intended.

You guys really need to get out morerolleyes:-D

Well four people sleep better with a socks on so it would seem its not just myth or placebo.?

 

There is quite a range of socks out there :confused

My favourite socks are my Christmas morning socks A nice new pack of Nike sports socks,Christmas starts once I get those bad boys on:-D

 

I notice that too a lot of women like socks like that,men mostly prefer white as do I of course

What's wrong with pyramid teabags anyhoo? Prefer a good strong cup of Yorkshire tea myself!

Feel free to rant,it will give me nice break from being harpooned by the whole forum for being a weirdo:-D

 

I only wear black socks. And I only buy Red Wing work socks. Really...I don't like socks, they're just necessary. LOL

Every time I look at the title of this thread I do NOT read "sock". roflmao

 

Tibbs you need to wash your brain out with soap,not the soap that Tim uses though it doesn't work :-D

 

Story of my life. I tried to keep my mind out of the gutter, but it's so happy there! LOL

I'm not sure I want to share soap with Tim, anyway. :innocent

 

That could be fun...and it conserves water! :-D LOL

 

Be careful Tibbs,last time Tim said rubber and soap in the same sentence I lost a weekend:confused

Looks like no difference has pulled ahead,oh well.Slept great again last night wearing socks,time to go back to the control without socks see how things pan out.

 

Shoot...at this point I think I'm due for a lost weekend! This one would be perfect as the new guy is off playing GI Joe.

I have a rubber ducky you can borrow, but probably bringing your own soap on a rope is better. LOL

 

I'll leave the light on! :-D

 

roflmao Good to know! I wouldn't want to let just anyone in the house! :-D
