Some people cannot sleep without a fan. In most cases, the reason is heat, but not always. There are those who like the noise it makes and there are those who find the feeling of the wind constantly blowing on their body pleasant. However, despite not offering toxic risks, sleeping with the fan on can have some consequences.
Today the awesome.club will show you how our body can react to sleeping with a fan on. In the end, we bring you some tips on how to make the nights a little more refreshing.
1. It can dry out your mouth and airways
Studies show that the fan on can evaporate sweat and moisture from the body, which can cause dehydration and dryness in the mouth and airways. If you live in a dry region, it’s good to be extra careful, because these symptoms can be even stronger. However, a glass of water is more than enough to replace the amount of water needed.
2. It can intensify your allergies
If you suffer from allergies, sleeping with the fan on is not a good idea. According to researchers, wind can accelerate the circulation of allergy-causing particles, triggering symptoms of asthma, dry eyes, other eye allergies or allergic rhinitis.
3. May cause cramps
Exposure to cold is one of the causes of muscle cramps. As during the night the temperature tends to drop, the constant cold of the fan blowing directly on our body can intensify this condition, so it is good to be careful. On the other hand, if the nights are too hot, the air that the fan circulates can increase its temperature and cause heat-related problems such as nausea or headaches.
Bonus: What You Can Do Instead of Turning on the Fan
1. Sleep with the window open
A simple solution for hot nights is to leave the window open. The cold wind at dawn is always a good alternative to refresh the environments. However, if in the area where you live there are many mosquitoes or other insects, do not forget to cover the window with a net.
2. Place a wet towel or bucket of water near the bed
To increase the humidity of the air inside the room, place a wet towel or bucket of water next to the bed. That way, the air won’t be as dry and you’ll be able to sleep better.
3. Do not position the fan towards you
If you can’t sleep without the fan, at least try to position it another way, so the wind doesn’t go straight at you. You can place it near the window, so that it circulates the air that comes from outside inside the room.
