Another joked, "I have been on the floor for over 24hrs (awake)."

A third wrote, "took me 15 minutes to fall asleep, now I'm negative seven, and my cat left me."

Earlier this month, a doctor on TikTok purported that the secret to falling asleep is keeping your feet nice and toasty before you head to bed.

The reason? Well, having cold feet can constrict your blood vessels and result is less blood circulation around your body. So warm feet may actually help lower your core body temperature.

In the video, Doctor Jess Andrade, says that "wearing socks makes your feet warm and this opens up the blood vessels that cools the body down."

"The body being cool tells the brain that it's time to go to bed, so actually, people that wear socks tend to fall asleep faster," she explained.
