In today's video, you will find out why sleeping with your fan on isn't good for you!
-
Do you know anyone who can only sleep when their fan is on?
-
Some people just can't sleep without a fan.
-
In most cases, it is because of the heat, but that's not always the case.
-
Some people like to listen to the noises of the fan, while others find it pleasing to
-
have a constant breeze blowing on their skin.
-
Although it doesn't offer any toxicological risks, sleeping with your fan on may bring
-
some health issues.
-
Besides drying your mouth and airways, intensifying your allergies and causing muscle cramps,
-
your fan might also be the cause of heart attacks, blood circulation issues, and brain
-
issues, like Alzheimer's, memory loss, or facial palsy.
-
It may even cause inflammation in the body like hemorrhoids, varicose veins, leg cramps,
-
and joint inflammations.
-
It is common to hear someone saying they went to sleep feeling good, just to wake up sore
-
all over the body.
-
The reason for that could be the fan on all night.
-
Did you know?
-
Wind reduces temperature and oxygen in the body, which causes inflammation.
-
Inflammation is a defense mechanism of our body.
-
When we feel cold, bacteria start proliferating, and the body swells to defend itself, which
-
causes inflammation that harms blood circulation.
-
Pain, especially in the neck, comes from the rigidity of the levator scapulae muscle, caused
-
by excessive and direct cold.
-
A cold wind directly on the neck may cause a big discomfort the next day.
-
Besides the neck, other parts of the body, like the legs, also suffer from it.
-
People with arthritis, arthrosis, gout, and other joint issues suffer a lot after sleeping
-
with their fans on all night long.
-
Generally speaking, all the muscles of the body are susceptible to tension in cold environments.

But how to sleep well on the hot nights of summer?
-
The best thing is to avoid direct wind on your body.
-
If you have a ceiling fan, you can use the exhaust option.
-
If you can't avoid the wind over your body, the best solution is to cover yourself.
-
Also, if you use an air conditioner, your room should not be too hot, nor too cold.
-
The ideal temperature for good sleep is between 60F and 75F.
-
The humidity of your room should stay between 40 to 60% to make sure that your body will
-
function correctly.
-
If you sleep with your fan on because you like the noise, you should know that some
-
less invasive alternatives can help you: search for white noise.
-
That will help you relax and fall asleep.
