Do you want to sleep well? Wear warm socks before bed

The cold is now such that even in a heated apartment it is uncomfortable, so many put on pajamas, and even – to be honest – socks before going to bed. And it turns out they are right!

Jess Andrade, medic and TikTok star, revealed in a recent video that socks help us fall asleep faster. They warm our feet, thanks to this, our blood vessels expand, blood circulation improves, and the body gradually “calms down”. And then the brain receives a signal that it’s time to sleep.

Because of the video advice, more than a million people signed up for Jess, and the post itself gained 17 million views. It would seem that the advice is quite innocent, but a real war suddenly broke out around him. Those who hate socks joked, “You forgot to mention that people who sleep in socks are prone to serial murder.” They wrote: “I like jokes, but socks in bed … this is already too much.” And the defenders answered them: “I can’t sleep without socks. It’s completely normal.”

Andrade also shared the 10-3-2-1-0 method to help you fall asleep faster and sleep better. What do these numbers mean? It’s simple:

• 10 hours before bedtime, you should drink your last cup of coffee, because it takes 10 hours for caffeine to be completely eliminated from the body.
• Eliminate food and alcohol 3 hours before bed.
• 2 hours before bedtime – complete any complex intellectual work and relax.
• 1 hour before bedtime – put away phones, tablets and turn off the TV.
• Zero means that in the morning you will easily get up at the wake of the alarm and you will not have to delay waking up.

Love socks or hate them, don’t forget that sleep is an essential part of recovery. Lack of sleep often leads to depression, anxiety disorders and even obesity. Therefore, in socks or without – get enough sleep.

Perhaps you have your own secrets of sound sleep. The main thing is that they work.
