Quality sleep is essential for health and metabolic balance. During the night of rest, the body undergoes regenerative processes that allow you to wake up with fresh and rested spirit. To sleep well, some people prefer to wear socks to warm up and relax while others prefer different ways to sleep peacefully. Let's see what this habit reveals about your personality.
Wearing socks at bedtime can promote sleepiness and help you fall asleep. Thus, the body temperature regulation system redistributes heat to the extremities of the limbs and thus allows vasodilation that promotes the release of melatonin, the hormone responsible for the sleep-wake cycle; we relax better and enjoy a quality sleep.
However, the habit of wearing or not wearing socks at night, may reveal particular traits on your personality.
For those who prefer socks
Physical : this shows that you have a slow metabolism and therefore a poor blood circulation that makes you sensitive to cold.
Psychologically: sleeping with socks is a kind of protection for you. You are always on the lookout for a deep human warmth. You like to express your emotions and you are as tender as hug.
For those who do not like socks
Physical : you have a rapid metabolism possibly associated with a thick skin; you do not need socks because you release natural body heat.
Psychologically: you demonstrate a certain independence from others and loneliness does not scare you. You need your freedom and your space and you love to protect others more than to be protected.
How to privilege a restful sleep
Sleep disorders have different origins and are manifested differently from person to person. However, there are 5 simple and effective tips to sleep better, which you can integrate into your daily life.
Dinner slightly
Eating too much food before going to bed can delay your slumber, as you then force your digestive system to work for a long time to ingest the food you just consumed, making it difficult to fall asleep. The average digestion time for a healthy body under normal conditions is 30 minutes, and can reach 3 or 4 hours for some meats. Also, in order to avoid the nightly cravings, it is advisable to dine lightly, preferably 2 hours before bedtime, to avoid fat and to take a relaxing herbal tea.
Adopt regular schedules
The ideal is to lie down and get up at the same time as often as possible to get your body used to this routine.
Read instead of using digital screens
Exposure to a certain intensity of light can influence sleep. They claim that the lights on television screens, computers or some electronic devices can greatly delay sleep or affect the quality of your sleep. It is therefore advisable to submit your retina in the dim light of a bedside lamp, to naturally invite Morpheus and get a restful rest. Adopt the habit of reading that promotes more relaxation. Tip: Favor an annoying novel that will make you want to sleep.
Use a fan
The Johns Hopkins Sleep Disorders Center in Baltimore (USA) found that it was possible to emit a certain level of decibels to compensate for any noise pollution. In this logic, it is revealed that the soft breath of a fan can be beneficial and help you sleep. It exerts a psychological effect on your brain, soothing you and helping to block outside noises.
Avoid stimulants
It has been scientifically proven that stimulants are likely to disturb sleep, because they accelerate the heart rate and unbalance the metabolism. In this logic, drinking coffee, alcohol or smoking before bedtime can be harmful to your sleep. These substances contain endocrine disruptors (caffeine, nicotine, etc.) that alter your hormonal balance, your mood and, in turn, your sleep.
