In ancient times, it was believed that sleeping in socks could lead to bad consequences.
Some people still adhere to this folk belief because such a habit can negatively affect a person’s health.
This is confirmed not only by folk signs, but also by experienced doctors.
An ancient folk omen
During sleep, the human body gets rid of the negativity accumulated throughout the day. It was believed that all the bad energy comes out through human heels. Therefore, if a person sleeps in socks, all the negativity will remain in the human body, harming it.
Sleeping in socks can cause irritability, fatigue and lack of initiative after sleep. It can also cause misunderstandings between loved ones and quarrels. Having noticed such consequences, you should definitely give up socks during sleep, because they may be the problem.
Reasons why doctors don't recommend this type of sleep
The first reason is a violation of blood circulation, because during sleep, socks with a thick elastic band squeeze the legs, disrupting normal blood circulation. Because of this, thrombosis of the veins of the lower extremities may occur.
The second reason is poor sleep. As a result of such a habit, insomnia may appear, and as a result, a "sluggish" state in the morning.
Reason three is infection of the feet with fungi. So, this problem can occur if you sleep in synthetic socks. The thing is that in such socks the feet "do not breathe", moisture forms between the toes and folds, and this is an ideal place for the reproduction of fungal infection.
Reason number four is overheating of the body. The natural state of the human body during sleep is a slight decrease in body temperature. If you sleep in socks, the body temperature rises, and this has a negative effect on the entire body. That is why many doctors recommend leaving your feet uncovered with a blanket. Because this way you can quickly lower your body temperature.
