We know this is a silly question, but we also know that everyone has a strong opinion about this! Some people cannot fall asleep unless they’re wearing socks, while others could never fall asleep if they were wearing socks! What about you?
There’s actually some science behind the sock debate. Wearing socks to bed can help regulate body temperature and even help you fall asleep faster by improving blood circulation. On the other hand, some people find the sensation uncomfortable or too warm, especially in hot weather or if the socks are too tight.
Then there’s the travel factor. Many RVers say they sleep differently while on the road than they do at home—and their sock habits change, too. Cooler nights in the mountains might call for thick fuzzy socks, while desert boondocking means bare feet and open windows. Sometimes it just comes down to whatever helps you feel cozy in that moment.
You might even have a favorite “sleep sock” that never leaves the RV drawer.
And yes, we gave you a “yes, but only on cold nights” answer if you sometimes wear them—like maybe in the winter or when you’re feeling chilly.
So tell us about your nighttime sock-wearing!

When I wore socks to bed I found that they retained moisture and my feet became colder than they were without socks. When it’s warm I found that I didn’t need socks to be comfortable. So I haven’t worn socks to bed for many years.
The last time i wore socks to bed was about 30 years ago. I was a Boy Scout leader camping in a tent in the snow at 8 degrees F.
We were instructed during U.S. Navy Winter Survival School that it is best to wear nothing to bed regardless. During the winter the clothing keeps your heat from reaching and warming your bedding as effectively. In the summer wet sweaty clothing is miserable.
Being a diabetic I wear socks except in the shower. Medical necessity but years before never, sweat then was the enemy.
I answered yes for the wife 😁🤣
Me also 🤗!
