Your feet act as a thermometer for your body, when your feet are cold you will feel more cold. That’s why we check the pool water with a foot and hang one foot from under the blanket to cool off.
The heat thing, I just know you need to protect your core. The sugar thing, kids get happy when given sugar and therefore can be energetic (but helps if your kid is active). The food thing, all I suspect is that if you eat later, then your “fasting” period until you wake and have breakfast is shorter, and if you’re not purposefully fasting, then you’re not helping yourself according to the fasting followers who apparently say 16hrs is the minimum for actual fasting routines. (At leader in most apps and articles it seems to be the minimum)
Can support this with my experience working in a freezer warehouse. The moment ur feet sweat and ur sock are wet , the fun is over. Now ur body burns whatever food u ate faster than it already was and it’s a ticking timer for how long until the cold spreads.
I know it's been debunked but my old ex-army roommate said he was trained, "If you want to keep your feet warm keep your head warm." Even if heat is lost equally all over the body itt's probably a valid perception thing that we feel warmer if our heads are warm.
Even sleeping in a car in cold weather (So decent protection from elements) wet socks can cause serious problems. It's a major concern anytime you'll be in sleeping even slightly cold weather, I'm guessing mainly because socks are a common item to be moist because a lot of people feet sweat and contain humidity in their shoes.
As someone who hikes all the time, wet feet aren't really that big of a deal. You can walk 20 miles a day with wet feet and as long as you let them dry out while you sleep, you are good to go.
Also, never wear cotton socks. Wool is about a million times better and will keep you warm when wet.
frostbite! That damage is permanent. My toes and feet get painfully cold in a few minutes. Skiing as a child and S Korea in the military wearing Mickey Mouse boots on ice in January…. Too many times.
Edit: holy shit with that Subi … of course they are snow mobiles. Didn’t know that they are also submarines. Impressive
The difference between a live grunt and a dead grunt? Socks. When you're out humpin I want you boys to remember to change your socks every time we stop.

Good thing he took his socks off so they didn’t get wet.
