Is it safe to sleep with the AC turned on?

Hi everyone!

 

I've come across different sites where it says that sleeping with the AC or a fan turned on all night might have a negative impact on your health, and some others says that it's 100% safe. What are your experiences with this? What are your tricks to sleep when heat goes up?

 

During summer nights it could be difficult to sleep and leaving the window open sometimes is not an option due to bugs.

I’ve never heard of that theory before and have slept with either A/C on, a ceiling fan on, or both most of my life. It improves my sleep because it makes the room more comfortable. However, neither is blowing directly on me - which I can understand could be a problem.

Sounds like nonsense to me. Lots of people sleep with the AC on and sometimes a fan as well. (Including me.) The only valid concern I've ever heard on this subject is if you have allergies. Then there is a concern that a fan my just stir up dust and make it hard on your sinuses. Whatever makes you more comfortable and get the best sleep is what is right for you.

Fans and/or AC are on all night, @BraulioFitbit

So, researchers and specialists appear to concur that leaving your AC on during the night is quite protected. Also, some really suggest it since the ideal temperature for resting is by all accounts on the cooler finish of the range.

While sleeping with the AC on is definitely more comfortable for some people, it can also remove some of the moisture from the air. That doesn't work for me. It slightly harder for me to breathe throughout the night, leaving me stuffy or sore in the morning.🤕
