Ever heard the old advice that wearing socks can help you fall asleep? Now there is evidence that there is some truth to this advice. Warm feet lead to better (and faster) sleep!
Our bodies naturally cool a degree or two during sleep, and research has shown that the faster the cooling occurs, the faster we fall asleep.
Putting on socks before we crawl into bed improves all-over circulation by opening up the blood vessels in the feet (a process called vasodilation). When the blood vessels dilate and open up in the feet, they release heat that redistributes throughout the body, allowing more rapid decrease of core body temperature.
