Is it normal to sleep with shoes on?

Unusual.Less common, but harmless

It’s less common to sleep with shoes on, but it’s not automatically a problem. People may do it because they’re cold, traveling, or simply find it comfortable.

Most people take their shoes off before bed, so sleeping in them is a bit unusual—but harmless if they’re comfortable and not too tight. Some people do it when they’re camping, traveling, or dealing with a cold room.

The main downside is practical: shoes can feel uncomfortable, make your feet sweaty, or bring dirt into bed. If you like the warmth, clean socks or slippers are usually a comfier option.
