Sleep well: what to do with your underpants and socks to get the best rest possible
Sleeping well is one of the concerns of many people, especially in a world where insomnia is rampant. There are countless techniques to get a good rest: military procedures to fall asleep in less than two minutes, different advice from psychologists, recommendations for specific times to go to bed, guidelines to create a sleep routine and various tricks to sleep better and be more rested in the morning.
However, when we fall asleep, one of the questions that arouses the most curiosity and morbidity in relation to rest is the way in which other people sleep. We are not referring to the posture, but to the clothes they use for it. And of all the possibilities, underwear is what raises the most questions. It will be because of the connotations of intimacy that it has or because it normally remains hidden from view. The truth is that knowing this fact about other people does not contribute anything to our lives, although it does contribute to the very Spanish culture of jokes.
Going back to the subject, when it comes to rest, comfort must prevail above all else and, therefore, the options are diverse. But what do the experts recommend? With or without socks? With or without underpants?
Socks
In this case we are talking, in principle, of the autumn / winter season, during which temperatures are lower. That is why the coldest people go to bed with cold feet. To heat them up, the body sends signals to the brain to regulate body temperature. This will cause us to be less relaxed and alert and, therefore, it will be more difficult to fall asleep. This is why the Spanish Society of Neurology determined that wearing socks was one of the ways to get a better rest.

Of course, certain precautions will have to be taken to avoid fungi, unnecessary infections or circulation problems. Use those loose and natural fibers to promote blood flow and perspiration. And, above all, if you go to sleep with socks, make sure they are freshly clean. Don't even think about it, we repeat, don't even think about getting into bed with the ones you've been wearing all day, they're a field of dirt.
Underpants
We knew you were looking forward to this section, the eternal doubt. According to the experts, it is convenient to sleep without underpants to favor the ventilation of the genital area during the night (which does not imply sleeping without pajamas, we leave this to everyone's taste). In this way, we will avoid irritations and the proliferation of fungi due to sweating, since they grow in warm and humid conditions.
Loose clothes will once again be your best sleep companions. Oh, and if you sleep with someone and your companion sleeps in the same way, that is, without underwear (and without pajamas), get ready for a shot of oxytocin, also known as the hormone of love. This substance is produced by skin-to-skin contact and, in addition to strengthening the immune system, helps reduce blood pressure.
