I red somewhere that it is bad for the brain and for circulation to wear socks when sleeping. i wear them almost every night bcse i get cold at night?

Sleep and socks: If you have poor circulation, compression socks might compound the problem. However, wearing the right socks can warm up your feet, lead to vasodilation which can help with falling asleep. Consider socks that are breathable, moisture wicking, seamless, warm and soft.
