How to fall asleep faster is being discussed on TikTok – the app is buzzing
Fans of TikTok are discussing how to fall asleep faster. Some suggest that wearing socks keeps the toes warm and creates a sense of comfort and coziness. At the same time, the temperature of other parts of the body decreases. Although there is a lack of high-quality research on how wearing socks can help lower body temperature, there is a commonly accepted theoretical explanation. Most sleep experts agree that people tend to sleep better when they are cool. The National Sleep Foundation recommends maintaining an ambient temperature between 60 and 67 degrees Fahrenheit while sleeping. However, this is a broad range and depends on the individual, experts say. A 2023 study indicates that for older people, sleep is “most efficient and restful” when the temperature ranges between 68 and 77 degrees. Our bodies also help us stay cool at night. Body temperature — averaging around 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit — is regulated by the circadian rhythm and tends to fluctuate slightly throughout the day and night. Research shows that our body temperature is lowest around 4 a.m., then gradually rises throughout the day, peaking in the evening before bedtime. According to medical experts, sweating can lower body temperature, as can distal vasodilation — a process where small blood vessels under the skin widen, allowing heat to escape. When we warm our feet by wearing socks, blood vessels under the skin dilate not just in the feet but throughout the body, doctors claim. This vasodilation allows warm blood to reach the surface, and as it continues to circulate and reach the skin, body heat dissipates, causing the body’s core temperature to eventually drop. It’s this decrease in body temperature that signals the brain to prepare for sleep, specialists conclude.
