Sleeping with your socks on?

[hyphenate]

Poll question: Sleeping with your socks on?

I know it's only a TV show, but I'm watching Two and a Half Men and Charlie just got out of bed with his socks on. This got me thinking about that, and realized he's not the only one I know who does sleep with socks on. I've tried, but subconsciously I must hate them because when I wake up in the morning, the socks are off and lost somewhere in the mass of bedclothes on the bed.

So is this a common practice? How many people actually do sleep with their socks on? And do you do it out of habit or from cold feet? And is this one of the silliest questions you have ever been asked?

[Deja Q]

1. Decreased blood circulation in legs and feet. Preferable that I do.

and you know what they say about cold feet... "cold feet, warm... heart"?

Well, my heart isn't my only warm thing and what are we talking about again? :7

[SofaKingLiberal]

2. Only when I pass out.

:beer:

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

3. Just depends on how cold it is, and how I feel that night.

[LynzM]

4. Rare that I go to sleep with them on

And almost unfathomable that I wake up with them still on my feet... like you, they're in the bedclothes or balled up on the floor!

[bigwillq]

5. Socks on

I am more comfortable that way.

[LeftyMom]

6. I am strangely obsessive about socks

(there was acually a lounge thread about my sock obsession a while back) and I can't sleep without them on.

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. As long as you don't sleep

with the bunnies on.

:silly:

[LeftyMom]

9. I've tried

my knees hurt when I wake up. :blush:

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. No doubt from all those bunny curls

"Go on, Bors. Feel the burn."

:rofl:

[flamingyouth]

7. Oh absolutely.

Only sleep without them in summer.

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. Sleeping with socks on

makes my feet feel loose. x(

11. In the winter. Mrs R likes to keep the bedroom at about 18 degrees,

and I don't want to wake up THAT fast from bare feet hitting a frigid floor in the morning.

15. I could send the 90 pound hound/bed warmer

:evilgrin: then I could stretch out MY legs and you and Mrs R would be rolled up in a ball.

Oh, and he snores.

[Redstone]

17. Well, she keeps it cold so I don't overheat when she uses me for

a bed warmer. (We have to replace mattresses more frequently than most married couples because we both sleep in the middle instead of at opposite sides like most couple do after 15 years.)

At one time we had TWO damn dogs (one of them a big one) sleeping in the damn bed.

Never again. Well, maybe ONE dog if we get another one, and it's a small one.

18. LOL Havocdad is talking about a mastiff or two

Told him he will have to build a house with taller ceilings and get king sized bunk beds!

I understand Mrs R keeping it cool. I now go to bed with one of those sleeves for chilling champagne handy to slip under my head in case of hot flashes. ALWAYS kept the window open a crack in the worst of winter, and you know where I spend my winters! Have been known to put on a parka and slip outside to the hammock after my beloved falls asleep.

Used to write the date in the frost on the wall inside my room in a place I lived in in the mountains. Even I wore socks to bed there! And a hat... and mittens.

[Redstone]

28. Oh, yes, I remember. I grew up in Vermont, and our house didn't have heat

upstairs. My bed was next to the window, and there was more than one morning I'd wake up to find snow on the INSIDE windowsill.

Fortunately, wehad lots of Army-surplus blankets, and these big pieces of felt from the papermill where my father worked, so we weren't cold in bed. Not after the first fifteen shocking minutes, anyway.

22. What saved me this winter

was the electric blanket. The room might be sub freezing, but with the blanket on, I'm still warm and cozy!

[no name no slogan]

13. If you live in MN and have bare hardwood floors, yes

especially when you get up in the middle of the night to take a leak. Brrrr....

[leftofthedial]

14. I wear a sock

but not on my feet

[havocmom]

16. Ladies, is there anything more difficult than not giggling

at a man wearing nothing but socks?

[LeftyMom]

19. I'd never notice the socks

Really, if you asked me later, I'd be like "He has feet?!?!?!"

Damn, but I'm deprived. :(

[havocmom]

21. LOL! Guess I am more interested in the 'total man'

and not just focused on parts ;)

[LeftyMom]

23. I'm waaaaaay too deprived for that

I'm going to be a total pig about it for the first few days. He'll live. :evilgrin:

[RevCheesehead]

20. I usually kick them off halfway thru the night.

But when I first go to bed, my feet are usually ice cold. :scared:

[JackBeck]

24. I'm sweating right now just thinking about

keeping my socks on.

I'm the type of guy that kicks all the covers off, so

No Socks For Me!

[momophile]

25. my feet are like ice and it drives my hubbie nuts...

so I have to go to bed with socks on, but they are off long before the morning.

[NYdemocrat089]

26. I can't sleep with socks on.

I just feel so weird with socks on in bed.

[Common Sense Party]

35. Hear, hear. It's unnatural. n/t

[sendero]

27. Unless I'm sick or something..

... I sleep without a stitch on. Birthday suit. Au naturel. That's really the only way :)

[reyd reid reed]

29. No way

I can't sleep with socks on. It feels too....icky...even when it's cold. If you stay in one place, it warms up enough without the socks. Besides, I like to be able to feel the sheets -- there's something comforting about rubbing my feet on them.

Yeah, yeah...I never claimed to be 'normal'...

[In_The_Wind]

30. I never wear socks to bed.

I've always liked having one foot out of the covers. :shrug:

[yellowdogintexas]

32. the Thermostatic Foot. That actually works

if you are too warm...but if it is cold out and you keep your inside temp at a moderate or cool temp, sometimes your feet get cold.

[In_The_Wind]

33. I've never hears it called that before.

I probably pull my tootsie under the covers for a while when it gets too cold.




:hi:

[RumpusCat]

49. The Cool Foot

I can't sleep with both of my feet covered up... it gets me to sweating for some reason.

My girlfriend likes to sleep nude with socks on and it makes me giggle. }(

[In_The_Wind]

50. That's cute when a girl does it but the same thing done by a guy ...

really doesn't work


trust me x( it's a very yucky look :wow:

[Zookeeper]

31. I don't like the feeling of wearing socks in bed.

Perhaps I was influenced by my high-school "Art of the Film" teacher. We watched a mystery-thriller movie in class, that I think starred Michael York as the villain. The teacher told us that the director revealed the villain, York, by showing him getting out of bed after sex with the heroine....still wearing HIS SOCKS! :wow:

However, I now understand that there may be extenuating circumstances. ;-)

[Common Sense Party]

34. I cannot stand socks. I only wear them during the day because

I have to. No way will I wear them at night. My feet need a little freedom.

[realisticphish]

36. Hell no

socks+sleep=antichrist

:D

[datsafact]

37. Sometimes,from cold feet.

[Jamastiene]

38. No way. I hate wearing socks when I am awake.

Much less to ever voluntarily sleep in them. And I despise shoes. If I could get by with it, I'd only wear my moccasin boots in the winter for warmth. No socks, no shoes, per se, ever. I hate 'em. I hate wearing clothes, in general, for that matter. I'd be at home with the nudists.

[politicat]

39. Even if I tried, they'd be lost in the bedding.

But I don't try. My feet do not get THAT cold. I'm not a big fan of socks in general, but sleeping in them would make me crazy.

I will reluctantly wear a clean pair while sleeping while camping, but even then they usually end up in the bottom of the sleeping bag.

[njdemocrat106]

40. Always

I've been wearing socks to sleep since I can remember. It never occurred to me that you should take them off before bed.

[Omphaloskepsis]

41. Hmmmm...

Looks like I'm the only one who sleeps with my shoes on. Didn't expect that.

[HEyHEY]

42. Wow, there's a shitload of freaks here

Socks? In bed? I live in Canada and don't wear em, or anything else for that matter... HEyHEY sleeps nekkid

[TheBaldyMan]

43. we are all lost socks in the laundromat of oblivion

n/t

[Orsino]

44. Anytime can be nap time.

Socks can stay on, but I will take them off if I'm thinking straight.

[LaurenG]

45. I hate wearing socks without shoes on too

It's like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. Ewwww, no.

[Tom_Foolery]

46. Sleeping w/ My Socks On is my favorite Country song. n/t

[nutsnberries]

47. other. never in warm weather, usually in cold weather, but not just ANY

socks...

my deep pink polartec socks which I only wear IN the bed. :)

[arwalden]

48. It Depends On How Cold It Is In The Camper...

... or in the tent.
