You can sleep with them in, take a shower and brush your hair, and even have them on parts of the body like the shoulders and low back to gently stimulate acupoints!

We hope everyone is keeping warm and healthy in this batty up and down weather. According to the horoscope, this upcoming year is not only a Dragon year, but also corresponds to the element of Water in the Chinese zodiac.

From chinesezodiac.com:
