To both of the arguments, I say who cares? We all use different methods to help us fall asleep and some people, myself included, need their feet to be warm to get a good night of sleep. So why do people think that wearing socks to bed is “not normal”? I’ll have to paraphrase Shakespeare’s when I say “If we sleep with socks on, do we not bleed?” There are only two reasons I can think of why sleeping with socks on might be frowned upon: one is that it does not allow your feet to “breathe” when you sleep and the other is that blankets should be enough to keep your feet warm. Contrary to what non-sock sleepers might think, it is possible to take off socks in the middle of REM sleep if one feels so inclined. Just because I go to sleep with socks does not necessarily mean that I wake up with them on in the morning. It does not matter if the rest of my body is overheating from the weight of twenty blankets, my feet are in a perpetual state of being frozen.

That is so weird!” In the awkward silence that follows your answer, “Dies Irae” begins to slowly play in your head as you await the same response that you heard from a myriad of other people. All of your thoughts scatter as your mouth starts to form the blasphemous statement which takes an eternity to say, “Yes, I wear socks to bed.”Įveryone turns with looks of disgust as if you had just committed a crime. This question will inevitably come up at some point in your relationship.Īs you continue to talk, the topic of conversation shifts and the next thing you know, someone asks you, “Do you wear socks to bed?” Upon hearing this, everything turns to slow motion as your heart rate quickly increases at an alarming rate. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been friends with these people or the context of conversation. Picture this: you are sitting with a group of friends chatting.
