I'm 30, and I think I've kicked off every pair of socks I've ever tried to wear while sleeping after an hour or two. These socks made it to the morning! They look like itchy winter socks, but they're light and breathable somehow! I'm personally using them to help lotions soak in overnight (but I've also read socks at night improves sleep and orgasm quality- look it up! You're welcome). The stripes are fine, because it's not like I'm wearing them in public, and they also grip the floor nicely for your middle of the night potty breaks.Try them and you'll be like "Oh dang, he was right."
