Researchers are urging people to stop wearing unclean socks to bed after discovering that they often contain the same bacteria found in cockroaches and their fecal droppings.
Experts obtained by Mattress Next Day polled 1,017 Brits about their sleeping habits and discovered that 18% wear socks while sleeping.
A sickening 70% of those sock-wearers don’t bother changing into a clean pair before bed, instead staying in the same pair that they’ve worn all day long.

Who wears socks to bed? I live in Northern WI, have no heat in the upper floor where our bedrooms are, and still dont wear socks to bed.

Don’t be a germophobe. Build up immunity. Swim in sewage.

Makes me think of a nursery rhyme about a kid who went to bed with his stockings on, one shoe off and one shoe on.

No, actually, this report says that isn’t even as bad as wearing socks to bed!

I like sleeping in the toilet. That way I don’t have to walk from my bed to empty my bladder in the middle of the night. Might trip over one of my cats. Too dangerous.
At least I don’t wear socks.

Brits, the French, Italians. They're Europeans, you can't expect much in the way of personal hygiene.

My feet have developed a neuropathy where they feel on fire all the time. I need to sleep with my feet exposed. I haven’t worn socks, day or night in years
