Turning on the heater is the first thing you might think of when the cold winter days arrive. But this action can adversely affect the immune system.
If you sleep with the heater on all night, you will be more prone to infections and other diseases.
Turning off the heater at night will not only protect your immune system, but it will also save you money because you won't be wasting electricity. "Bright Side" reveals the negative effects this action can have on your health.
It can disrupt the quality of sleep
In the evening, our bodies experience a slight decrease in temperature, signaling the body that it is time to sleep. However, when the room temperature is high, you can hinder the body's thermoregulation process and experience fatigue, discomfort and restlessness.
This will not only make you feel groggy the next day, but it can also affect physical recovery, memory consolidation, learning and other processes. This is why adding an extra blanket instead of turning on the heater can be a better solution, as you can easily remove a layer when you start to feel hot.
Can cause chest pain and heart problems
Heaters create a lot of heat, which increases the level of carbon monoxide inside the room. This is why it is not recommended to keep it for a long time, as the heat will increase the CO2 above safe levels which can be harmful to our health.
If you keep the heater on in the room at night for a long period of time, you may experience chest pain and other heart problems. In this case, people with heart disease and asthma patients should be extra careful, as they are particularly at risk.
It can dry out your skin
Sleeping with the heater on all night can cause the skin to dry out due to lack of moisture. This can cause the skin to become irritated, sweaty and itchy.
It can make the air in the room harmful
If your room is not properly ventilated, the heat can negatively affect indoor air quality. This can provoke long-term health consequences and can cause breathing problems such as asthma, can cause allergies and some other serious diseases.
It can damage your immune system
Bacteria survive longer in dry air. This is why we usually get sick and get the flu more often during the winter, when the air in our rooms is much drier.
