sleep with socks on but she can never give me a proper scientific explanation other than 'its not healthy'. Does anyone know why it may be bad for you?

it is probably an old wives tale.

I sleep with socks on when its cold but I prefer not to most of the time. I can't see any reason why you shouldn't - except if your feet sweat too much as it may make them smell and could cause bacteria to grow. Other than that, I don't see why wearing socks to bed would cause a problem.

Its healthy to sleep with socks on..It helps with circulation and makes the skin softer and healthier. My sister is a beautician and always wears socks to bed to make her feet soft. Just make sure they aren't too tight up the top.

You can sleep with socks on anytime you want to. I sleep with socks on in the winter as I have poor circulation. It is not bad for you to sleep with socks on unless your feet sweat to much in them at night.

there is no scientific reason- in fact, no reason whatsoever, why a person shouldn't wear socks in bed. When I'm very cold, I wear pyjamas, socks, cardigan, gloves,anything I like.

The worst that wearing socks to bed will do is it will keep you from losing much body heat! lol . its not bad for you at all! (unless you tend to sweat waaaaaaaay too much .. then i wouldn't recommend wearing socks to bed! lol) .. btw .. for persistent cough the guaranteed cure involves wearing socks to bed! so there.
Of course your mom might have her own reasons .. And your skin does like to 'breathe' now n then .. so .. maybe the question is why do you wear your socks to bed?

there is no reason at all not to sleep with socks on. people do it all the time and nothing ever happens.
