Read More »The idea of sleeping with your feet covered, whether it is with socks or with the blanket itself, is not a novel idea. Rather, this is a topic that is talked about quite a bit and is argued both ways. For some, covering their feet up means not waking up at night due to unbalanced body temperature, and for others, covering up means becoming way too hot at night. According to the science behind this topic, there are numerous benefits to wearing a pair of cozy socks or slipping those feet under the covers, but what’s not talked about a lot? The potential “foot trouble” you could get yourself into when covering up. Let’s dive and see what the downsides are.

Unfortunately, for those who are wearing socks all day long and then covering their feet up at night may actually experience a decrease in flood flow. Why? Prolonged foot covering narrows the tissues, muscles, and blood vessels around your feet, thus decreasing circulation. Ever taken socks off that have left rings around your ankles or seen swelling above where the sock ends? Be careful of this, as this type of foot trouble can lead to worse health problems. 4. Overheating & Night Sweats. If you really want to cover those feet up, make sure you are doing so with the right materials. Wrong choice and you could end up overheating. If the covers aren’t breathable, then you could artificially make your temperature rise and cause yourself a whole heap of restless nights. 5. Skin Irritation Leading to Disrupted Sleep. Do you have extremely sensitive skin? If the answer is yes, wearing socks or covering your feet up at night may not be the best option for you. Excessive skin irritation, caused by wearing the wrong socks or covering up with the wrong sheet material, will lead to disrupted sleep. If you notice that you keep waking up completely exhausted, it may be from micro-disturbances at night, due to your feet being irritated. 6. Plantar Fasciitis. Possibly the biggest possibility with sleeping with your feet covered is the risk of developing Plantar Fasciitis. Plantar Fasciitis is caused by stress to the fascia muscles that span the underside of the arch of your foot. When your bedding is tightly tucked in, they often will pull your foot down to a point if you’re a back sleeper, which over time can cause damage to those muscles. So, if you sleep on your back, do your feet a favor and loosen up the bedding at the end of your bed so that your feet can stretch out.
