As soon as the summer season arrives, people in most houses prefer to sleep in AC at night. Some people sleep in AC all night for a comfortable and peaceful sleep, but do you know that due to this your body can become a home for diseases. Sleeping under AC all night can increase many health related problems, such as congestion, dry skin and eyes and can increase the risk of other diseases. Let's know what the experts say about this?

What do the experts say?

Dr. Mohan, child specialist of Jagdamba Baby Care Karnal, says that whenever you run the AC, keep its temperature at 24 degrees. Keep the windows, doors and parcels open so that there is ventilation. This can reduce the side effects of AC to a great extent. He says that the less you keep the cooling of the AC, the more its harms can increase. Your body needs a limited temperature and if the body temperature is not balanced properly, then it increases the risk of not just one but many diseases, especially when you sleep with the AC on all night.

Poor sleep

Sleeping with the AC on at a very low temperature can lead to poor sleep quality. Cold air can cause shivering and restlessness, leading to poor sleep at night. ACs and fans spread dust and allergens, which can affect sleep. Therefore, turning off the AC helps create a good sleeping environment, reducing the risk of allergies.

Body pain

Excessive use of AC can cause muscle tension and stiffness, which can worsen existing joint pain or muscle pain. People with such health conditions should turn off the AC at night or choose a fan that can help reduce discomfort.

Risk of diseases

Keeping the AC on all night can increase the risk of diseases. The body temperature naturally drops between 4 am and 6 am, and prolonged exposure to cold air can cause skin problems like dryness and itching. Apart from this, the body's immunity can weaken. Also, the risk of cold and cough increases during sleep.

Morning fatigue

Sleeping with the AC on prevents fresh air from getting in, which can lead to fatigue upon waking up. Proper ventilation is essential for energy levels and without it, people can feel sluggish or tired in the morning. Moreover, cold air also affects the digestive system, disturbing hormonal balance. Also, the risk of dehydration can increase, leading to dry mouth and throat.

Respiratory distress

If the AC is not cleaned properly, dust, fungus or bacteria can accumulate in it. In such a situation, if you sleep with it on all night, then it can increase your problems like breathing problems, blocked nose, allergy or asthma. For this, avoid sleeping in AC all night and regularly service the AC and clean the filter.
