Sleeping in socks helps to regulate your body temperature, which can lead to falling asleep faster, waking up less, and sleeping in later, according to research.

A study published in the Journal of Physiological Anthropology, found that men who wore socks fell asleep about seven minutes faster, slept 32 minutes longer, and woke up about seven times less often than those who didn’t wear socks.

Though it may seem counterintuitive, sleeping in socks helps keep your core temperature—the temperature inside your body, not of your skin—low, wrote Michael Breus, PhD, clinical psychologist and sleep medicine expert, in a blog post on Sleep Doctor. Warming your skin by wearing socks lowers body temperature by expanding blood vessels near the skin, which allows the heat to escape. 

When your core body temperature is regulated, it makes for better sleep, Breus said. 

Temperature plays a role in quality sleep

A drop in core body temperature signals to the body that it’s time to sleep and coincides with the release of melatonin—the sleep hormone. Experts suggest keeping your bedroom between 68 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit for ample sleep.

“Some sources recommend an even colder room; however, I typically recommend temperatures at least two to five degrees cooler than a comfortable temperature in the house during the day,” Dr. Nilong Vyas, founder and owner of Sleepless in NOLA, a sleep consulting service, and medical review expert at Sleep Foundation, previously told Fortune.

Wearing socks and sleeping in a cool room could be the perfect pairing for a high quality night of rest.

What kind of socks should you sleep in?

If you wear socks to sleep, ensure they aren’t so tight that they restrict blood flow, wrote Breus. It’s important the socks are comfortable so they don’t become a sleep distraction. Breus also suggested they be made of breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, or bamboo. And you should opt for a fresh, clean pair, not the ones you wore all day, behavioral sleep disorders specialist Michelle Drerup, PsyD, told the Cleveland Clinic.

If you feel a sensory overload sleeping in socks, research suggests that putting your feet in a warm water bath before bed can give a similar effect. 

Will sleeping in socks cure my restless nights?

While sleeping in socks is worth a try to get better rest, it’s not a cure all. Socks aren’t a treatment for insomnia or other sleep conditions—you should talk to a medical professional for ongoing issues. And people with circulation issues should not sleep with socks without talking to their doctor first.
But, along with unplugging before bed, dimming the lights, and avoiding caffeine too late in the day, putting on a pair of socks before bed might be a way to step up your sleep routine, and wake up better rested.

U.Today – In a recent ruling, the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) made a decision against exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that are exposed to or any other cryptocurrencies.

DTCC plans to change collateral policy

Consequently, the corporation has earmarked April 30 as the day to implement changes to its collateral value for these special securities during its annual line-of-credit facility renewal.

DTCC sees this as an avenue to revolutionize position values in the collateral monitor. For spot Bitcoin ETFs like BlackRock (NYSE:)’s IBIT, Fidelity Investment’s FBTC and other crypto ETPs, this would result in a 100% reduction in their collateral value.

Cryptocurrency enthusiast K.O. Kryptowaluty believes that this new development applies to only inter-entity settlement within the line of credit system. He further explained that the use of crypto ETFs for lending and as collateral in brokerage activities will continue without any consequences.

However, he pointed out that it is highly dependent on individual brokers’ risk tolerance.

DTCC’s collateral policy affects ETF investors

According to Autism Capital, DTCC’s announcement could potentially translate to less liquidity but also more risks for spot crypto ETF investors.

Looking on the bright side, such a decision may equally contribute to mitigating the negative interference of Wall Street companies in the growing crypto ETF niche. Only time will tell how it turns out for investors and other parties involved.
