During the summer, many people rely on fans in their bedrooms to help them fall asleep during the high temperatures.
While these coolers can be an effective way to regulate your temperature at night, there are some downsides to public health.
Martin Seeley, CEO and sleep expert at MattressNextDay, says electric fans can do more harm than good, causing conditions ranging from irritating allergies to sore necks.
Allergens and asthma
Seely explains that the same thing that makes electric fans so effective at keeping you cool—circulating air around a room—can also spell bad news for your allergies and asthma.
The device can circulate dust mites, germs, pollen and other allergens throughout the room.
“If you find that you suffer from excessive sneezing, watery eyes, runny nose, itchy throat and even difficulty breathing, make sure there is no dust on the electric fan blades. And if you have a good budget, it is worth getting a better fan that can purify the air,” Seeley added. By reducing pollen particles and dust mites around the room.”
However, if you like to use your fan, the expert recommends cleaning your bedroom regularly to help relieve allergies.
congestion
The extra wind from an electric fan can dry out your nose and throat, causing your body to produce more mucus in order to stay hydrated.
“This can cause many side effects, including headaches, stuffy nose, and even sinus headaches,” says Seely.
Fortunately, keeping your water hydrated can help prevent this from happening, as the expert recommended drinking at least two liters per day.
Eye dryness and irritation
Similar to congestion, excess wind not only dries out your nose and throat, but also your eyes, which can lead to irritation.
“This is even more important for contact lens wearers as it increases the potential for dryness and irritation,” said the expert.
Stiff neck and aching muscles
Seeley recommended refraining from pointing the fan at sore muscle areas overnight, “This is because the concentrated cold air can make your muscles tense and spasm, causing more pain. You may notice a stiff neck since using an electric fan, so hold off on using it for a few nights to see what happens.” If you will notice a difference.”
