Comments on a remark I recently made

Protocol Query

This is more Huberman-esque: tell her to wear socks all day if possible and only remove them at bedtime. I have a theory that you feel a very substantial cooling effect near bedtime if you wait until bedtime (other than taking a bath but put socks right back on asap when you're out of the tub/shower) that promotes or helps simulate the type of cooling that your body naturally undergoes in the process of winding down and going to sleep. I've noticed anecdotally that I need to be careful and only remove my socks when im in bed and ready to go because if i do it before i intend to go to sleep, I often pass out and dont have the chance to wrap up whatever else I intended to before i closed down for the night.

Someone was asking for protocols or practices to help their friend sleep and among other things I made the above comments.

I feel very strongly despite it being anecdotal to myself that this a a legit thing, any thoughts or anyone observed similarly?
