The hot air makes many people sleep while turning on the fan. However, there are those who think that it is bad for health. Let's look at the following explanation about the dangers of sleeping with a fan.
In Indonesia, many people think that sleeping with a fan on is at risk of causing death. There are also those who say that the fan keeps sweat from coming out and settles in the body.
However, did this really happen? Is it dangerous to sleep with the fan on? Come on, we review some of the myths surrounding the dangers of sleeping with a fan below.
Fan Usage Facts
Sleeping with the fan on has been linked to certain health problems, such as:
Allergies and asthma Hyperthermia When in a warm or slightly hot environment, the body will respond by sweating, so that the body temperature remains normal. But if the air temperature is very hot, the body's mechanisms are no longer able to compensate. As a result, body temperature will rise and hyperthermia occurs. If you don't get help right away, hyperthermia can lead to dehydration and even death. Some say that fans can trigger hyperthermia. But in fact, sleeping with the fan on does not cause hyperthermia. Turning on the fan is actually the easiest and cheapest way to cool the body when the weather is very hot. Hypothermia In Indonesia, which has a tropical and warm climate, a person's risk of developing hypothermia is very small, even though a fan is used when sleeping at night. Because, the fan can not cool the air temperature in the room drastically. The assumption related to the dangers of sleeping with a fan has not been scientifically proven and still requires further research. However, the use of a fan does need to be considered, especially in terms of cleaning it. This is to prevent the fan from spreading dust and dirt that can make asthma and allergy symptoms recur.
