What's the use of raising your legs when you sleep?
You are right to do this, because when you sleep, raise your lower limbs slightly, let your legs relax fully, and achieve the purpose of blood return, thus improving blood circulation.

It has no fundamental effect on stovepipe. If you care about calves, I'll provide some information for your reference.

The warm spring is getting closer and closer to us. Many people hope to get high boots from winter. Pants turned into skirts. Wearing single shoes. The most worrying thing at this time is obviously [legs]. It's a pity that you can't even wear a skirt because your legs are too thick. In order to show slender legs after wearing a skirt, let's have a leg shaping challenge from now on.

Recently, most women's legs look thicker because of edema. Edema is caused by excessive water accumulation in the legs. Women with the above symptoms, such as [leg edema is not refreshing], [ankles are as thick as legs] and [shoes are tight in the afternoon], are more prone to swelling. In addition, people who are engaged in desk work in a sitting position or reception work in a standing position all day will definitely feel nervous in the afternoon. This phenomenon also belongs to [edema]. Usually, the deposited water is absorbed through veins in the body, but if you keep the same posture for a long time, the water will not be fully absorbed due to gravity, resulting in excess water accumulation in the legs. In other words, it is said that people with poor basic metabolic function are also prone to edema.

If this [edema] phenomenon is left unchecked, it is likely to eventually develop into an elephant leg! As a solution, we should first avoid wearing tight shoes or thin underwear. Secondly, after work, we can take a walk, run and other ways to exercise leg muscles, or lift our feet to rest for a while, which is helpful to us. It is also a good way to spray hot water and cold water alternately on your feet in the evening bath to promote blood circulation or receive foot massage. In addition, we suggest that you can wear a kind of socks called [elastic socks], which can give your feet moderate pressure. In Japan, this kind of elastic socks is very popular in recent years. Flight attendants or models, as well as actresses, also like to wear them.

As a matter of fact, I am also one of the people who are often troubled by the phenomenon of [edema] because I have more work at my desk. My method is: first, put your favorite bathing agent in a bathtub filled with warm water and take a bath slowly. Then, when you scrub your body with soft bath gloves, you can also massage your feet. Secondly, when working at a desk, if your feet get cold, it will affect your blood circulation, so you will put on elastic socks first, and then put on stockings to prevent your feet from getting cold.
