At bedtime, there are those who go to bed with socks and those who do not tolerate them even for a second. The question is then simple. Is one option better than another? The famous content creator Enfermero Jorge Ángel, known for sharing wellness and health tips on his social networks, recently spoke out on this topic. In one of the most recent videos on his Instagram account, he clarifies whether it is better to sleep with or without socks. As he explains, sleeping with socks makes the skin sweat less and increases humidity. This warm and humid environment is, as he himself says, “a breeding ground for fungi, bacteria and mites”. This also promotes bad odors. Therefore, in most cases it is recommended to sleep without them so that the foot breathes naturally. However, not everyone can apply it in the same way. There are people who suffer from cold feet due to genetics, circulation problems or conditions like diabetes. In these cases, socks are not only helpful, but they can also help you fall asleep better because they keep your temperature stable. If necessary, it is advisable to choose natural fabrics such as cotton or yarn, which breathe much better. It is also important to avoid making them too tight at the seams so as not to impede circulation during the night.
