Socks improve blood circulation. This helps to reduce overall body temperature and also sends a signal to the brain about sleep.

But, according to the doctor, these are not all the advantages. He emphasized in the conversation that socks reduce the risk of Raynaud's syndrome. Here we are talking about the spasm of the blood vessels of the bones due to cold or in case of emotional stress.

These are not all the benefits of sleeping in socks. As the doctor noted, representatives of the fair sex during menopause should also wear socks when they go to bed. In this case, it will be easier to cope with hot flashes.
