Expert Green: When it’s safe (and when it’s not)
Recommended: Wear loose, breathable cotton or bamboo.
Avoid: Socks, nylon, or thick wool, especially if you have diabetes, neuropathy, or sweaty feet.
Tip: If your feet get warm at night, take your socks off: your body is telling you it’s time to cool down.
Bottom line? Sleeping in socks can be a sleep tip for some… and a health risk for others. Listen to your body, choose the right material, and you’ll wake up refreshed instead of craving an extra layer. Take vitamins and supplements.
