ABOUT THE PATTERN
Sleepyhead socks are knit cuff-down in the round. They feature a 3x1 rib on the leg (no separate cuff) and top of the foot, and a German short-row heel (feel free to replace with a different one of your choice).

It is a very easy-to-follow and almost mindless pattern, so you can work on it as your bed-time project.

And finally, ribbed texture makes them highly elastic, so they are extra-comfy and can
be worn as loungewear or bed socks.
