Nowadays, we take shower instead of bath. In this case, feet is not much taken care of. But washing feet is very important for blood circulation, which is beneficial for sleep. It is not only good for adults, but also for babies. Do you wash feet before going to bed?

Hello friend, As a kid I was taught by my parents to always wash my face,eyes,hands and feet with fresh water before going to bed. I stuck to those habits for a long time but when I went to hostel, I got a bit lazy and wasn't so regular with it. Now that I am back at home, I want to stick to those habits again as I think they are essential for a good sleep.

Hello my friend zhuhuifen46 Ji, WEll, I always do and insist all my family members to do. In addition, if face and hands could also be included, it would be still better. May God bless you and have a great time.

I think washing our feet before going to bed is very important because it is one way to get rid of dirt or germs...

I should take more care over my feet especially as I go to the gym 4 times a week and my feet are getting a good pounding on the cv equipment whether I am cycling, jogging or using the rowing machine! Your feet have to be strong and healthy because you rely on them so much. I do give them a soak occasionally, but I don't wash them every night before going to bed. I guess we take them for granted.

I usually heard from my grandmother or my parents that wash my feet before bed or I will have nightmare. I don't really my feet though since I hardly got nightmare even if I don't. I never know about this fact, thanks for sharing!

We wash feet only in winter because it is really code,so washing feet with a basin hot water is really an enjoyment.when In summer we only take shower with cold water and it is also an enjoyment since it take frowziness away and give you a fresh feeling.

Maybe it's because the habit was never instilled in me, but I never wash my feet per say before going to bed. Instead, I tend to shower before going to bed, and in the shower I do wash my feet. However I find it strange that one would just wash his/her feet before going to bed...perhaps it's due to my culture! Or maybe it would explain why I frequently used to get pins and needles in my legs! Happy myLotting.
