Going to bed with socks on (lighthearted)

DH says I'm weird and unhygienic for wearing socks in bed. Apparently no one else does it. Am I the odd one out?

Apparently there are no hygiene issues wearing the same boxers in bed that he has worn all day! Envy

My feet are like blocks of ice 24/7 but I can't sleep with socks on. Once in a blue moon when I jump into bed with them on and accidentally fall asleep wearing them right through until morning I wake up feeling like I have a hangover - my head feels really fuzzy and I feel woozy - I've trialled and tested it and it was definitely linked to the all-nighter socks 😂

Used to be 1 pair of socks in Summer and 2 pairs in Winter but I'm getting plumper so went without socks this summer. I read once that the temperature of your feet is the temperature you feel!

I felt quite at home on this site until today. Socks in bed are an abomination!

I wear socks to bed even in the middle of summer

Ubaheb cold feet

@SuperCaliFragalistic

I wear socks as little as possible. They come off whenever I'm in the house and only when it's really cold do i wear slippers (without socks obvs). I couldn't possibly sleep with socks on.
This. I hate socks with a passion and wear them reluctantly with shoes, but discard them as soon as I can when I get home. They make my feet feel suffocated Confused

Clean, fluffy socks on in bed tonight!! My feet are chilly.

AfterSchoolWorry · 10/10/2020 00:06

@ReeseWitherfork

No, no socks and feet always outside the cover!
Yes this. I like my feet to be cold and I like to run my feet over cold cotton sheets. Can't bear anything on my feet in bed!

So I'm not completely weird then Grin I actually don't like socks even in the day, but when it's cold I wear them to bed and take them off in the middle of the night if I get too warm.

I like to be cosy, and I roll myself into the duvet when fast asleep (much to DH's chagrin when I take too much of the duvet Wink).

I definitely need socks on in bed as well during the colder months. When I get too warm, apparently I take them off - I will only notice because I'll find them on the floor in the morning, I never remember actually taking any off.

Sometimes, I've woken up wearing only one sock, holding the other one in my hand Grin

I like a cool bedroom so don't have any heating on, but I like to be warm in bed. Small dog and cat do help, I use flannelette sheets, a couple of throws over the duvet, and wear whatever the temperature dicates. That often means thick fluffy Joules socks. Oh, the utter bliss of not sharing a room with another human - never, never again.

BeautifulandWilfulandDead · 10/10/2020 00:22

I don't understand this conversation! Are you cold? Wear socks. Are you warm? No socks. Simple!

Vivana · 10/10/2020 00:48

No they don't feel right to wear in bed. Got my feet sticking out the covers and never cold Smile

yelyah22 · 10/10/2020 01:02

I always go to bed in socks, and then experience the unparalleled feeling that is taking them off in a nice cool bed.

And I go to bed in the socks I've been wearing that day, so I'm unhygienic too 😏

ViciousJackdaw · 10/10/2020 01:46

Bed socks when needed - clean pair every time. I keep them in my bedside drawer so I can quickly get to them if I'm cold. Bollocks to expensive ones though, Primark do these 'Luxury Socks' at £3 for 2 pairs and they're great. They're nice and soft, wash well and they do last.

Lurkingforawhile · 10/10/2020 09:07

Thanks @caughtalightsneeze - that's another but of online shopping to do then!

Angelina82 · 10/10/2020 09:13

Gross to wear the socks you’ve been wearing all day to bed, but clean, fluffy bed socks are the the biz.

Bubbletrouble43 · 10/10/2020 09:16

Like pp I always remove my socks at some point during the night. Butas for sleeping naked? Yeeuch. I also wear pants as since bring very young have had a fear of spiders crawling up my bum while I'm asleep. Cannot get to sleep without pants or pyjama bottoms on.

Emeraldshamrock · 10/10/2020 10:00

I have fluffy bed socks. I only wear slim socks during the day there's no heat in them.

FallonsTeaRoom · 10/10/2020 10:02

I wear socks in bed. My feet get too cold otherwise.
