A hundred problems, one solution. Sleep.
A nap a day keeps the stress away. Taking tiny power naps during stressful days can make you more alert, more efficient, reduce stress, improve cognitive functioning and keeps your mind healthy.
But there are times when can’t really fall asleep. You want to take a nap but the nap doesn’t want to take you. maybe it’s anxiety or maybe it’s the weather. You just can’t seem to find a comfortable position. It’s too hot or too cold.
Or maybe it’s your feet!
A study from 2007 revealed that adults who wore socks to bed fall asleep faster. Warming up the feet and hands makes the blood vessels dilate, a response that is called vasodilation. This releases heat through the skin and helps to lower core body temperature. This, in turn, sends a message to the brain that it is bedtime.
We can help. Happy Socks, a high-quality sock that combines unique designs and craftsmanship. A comfortable and colorful tool for spreading happiness. Nap in style.
