Is sleeping with your socks dangerous?!?

Posted at: 2015-04-20 
I read somewhere that you should take your socks off when you want to sleep and its dangerous!

Can be fatal

Providing the socks and feet are dry and not tight it is perfectly fine to sleep with socks on. It is best not to wear the socks you have worn that day - they will have soaked up sweat during the day and even if they seem dry they will be gross. Change into clean dry socks and it is fine.

You can buy bed socks too. These are great things and are a bit looser round the ankles which is good, as everyday socks are more elasticated and too tight on the whole to wear 24/7. Keeps your feet nice and toasty on cold nights.

I sleep with bedsocks on all the time (apart from if it is really hot). Nothing worse than freezing feet.

Its not dangerous,at least: i sleep with socks on,and i am not dangered by a sort of danger

Where did you read that?????

No it is not dangerous to sleep while wearing socks. In fact you can buy socks especially to be worn in bed. They are called bed socks. Ladies often need them because they get chilly feet in bed in the winter.

You should obviously wash your feet every day and put on clean socks. Going to bed in the socks you have worn all day without washing your feet wouldn't be dangerous, but it would be smelly and unpleasant.

I do it all the time...I usually wake up without them on because I kick them off in the night. And it's true that if your socks are wet (from sweat) and dirty, that your feet will be kind of gross. But you could put clean socks on and wash your feet in the morning to avoid having smelly gross feet.

It is very much dangerous, at night your socks come alive and can kill you, make sure to lock them up before you sleep, and don't feed them after midnight!

Good luck.

No, but it is unwise to wear them through a whole 24 hour period, you should need to air your feet now and then...

Sleeping with wet scoks can have things grow in your feet, but probally non fatal

In theory if they were very tight yes - but generally no

It all depends on where on your person you wear them

It keeps your feet warm.

You could over-heat, I suppose.
