Socks can = greater GH?
I heard on the John Tesh radio program that if you wear socks to bed at night, it helps keep your feet warm and thus improves circulation. When circulation is improved, your body can go into a deeper sleep faster. It is during deep sleep that GH gets released. So in theory, wearing socks to bed can increase your natural GH production!

Now, I'm not sure if this really works or really makes a difference, but just thought I'd pass on the information I heard to ya'all!

Would this 'socks' product be something I'd have to cycle? Does it require pct or would just a week off do the trick?

If the gym sock does not fit, you must acquit.

What about the people that use tube socks? Are they over-compensating?

on a serious note, I do get better longer lasting sleep when I wear socks to bed... but I really think it matters upon wear you live and what temp you keep your living space @... when you live in areas that don't average decent winter weather temps (I spent my first 25 years in North Dakota) it is a good idea to do just keep warm (just a little understatement)... plus i never want to leave bed on a colder day when I don't have my wool socks on, and then I end up sleeping much longer than I need and I have messed up my circadian rhythms for the next few days
