Leaving the fan on at night is not the best option for sleeping in the intense heat, so we are going to tell you about the consequences for your health.
In hot weather, people do everything possible to avoid heat stroke and stay cool, but even though the temperature tends to drop a little at night, it always stays inside the houses and seems not to be mitigated, so many choose to sleep with the fan on .
Health experts say that sleeping with the fan on at night can have health problems.
- Activate allergies
The air from the fan moves dust and pollen that may be in the room, causing spores to easily penetrate the nasal passages, which seriously affects people with allergies or asthma.
- Dries out the skin and throat
The constant blast of air released by the fan dries out the skin and mucous membranes. Therefore, people who sleep with their mouth open could be affected because the air flow can dry out their throat.
- Headache and nasal congestion
Experts say dry air from a fan can irritate the sinuses. And if the dryness is extreme, the body produces excess mucus to compensate, which increases nasal congestion and headaches.
- Muscle pain
You may not know it, but the constant flow of air causes the muscles in your body to tense up, so you could wake up with muscle pain and even a contracture, especially if you sleep with the fan too close to your neck or midsection.
What can you do to avoid sleeping with the fan on?
What you can do to sleep cool at night without having to turn on the fan is to take a bath and use a moisturizing cream , this way you can avoid skin dehydration.
Now, if you use air conditioning, do not set it to its maximum power; nor set it to the lowest temperature, since air that is below 23 degrees tends to dry out the skin more and produces the same effect on health as the fan, in addition to this, it will increase electrical consumption.
For this reason, you should not sleep all night with the fan on.
