This Doctor Says Wearing Socks to Bed Is Good for You, but Is That Convincing Enough?

Dr. Jessica Andrade, a third-year pediatric resident, loves doling out behind-the-scenes looks at life as a doctor and sleep tips on TikTok, but it's her latest piece of info that's garnered over 2 million "likes" and has everyone in the comments section in a tizzy: wearing socks to bed makes you fall asleep faster. According to Dr. Jess, keeping your feet warm opens up blood vessels that cools your body down, which in turns lets your brain know it's time for sleep. Am I about to start an argument with a licensed medical professional?
