Should You Be Sleeping With Socks On? Doctors Have a Surprising Answer
Tight bands can leave marks and bug your circulation, and trapped moisture can trigger skin irritation or infection. People with diabetes, peripheral neuropathy or circulation issues should be extra careful with tight or scratchy socks, since small skin problems can get missed.
What Kind of Socks Are Best?
Loose, breathable and moisture wicking (think bamboo) is the move, Mathur told Real Simple. Ankle or crew length is a solid starting point.
“It is best to keep them loose at the top with no tight elastic bands, so the circulation is not cut off,” Mathur said. Zebuda had one last ground rule. “Most importantly, choose a clean, dry pair that’s comfortable enough that you barely notice you’re wearing them,” he told Real Simple. Swap in a fresh pair every night so bacteria doesn’t throw a party.
The verdict? Low risk, possibly cozy, maybe a little faster to fall asleep. Screenshot and send to your group chat.
