In the hot summer or cold winter, the air conditioner becomes a good companion when we sleep, creating a comfortable indoor environment for us. However, did you know that when we go to bed at night and turn on the air conditioner, there are two things that can greatly improve our sleep quality and health?
Fortunately, I was reminded by a friend that I gained knowledge, and now I will share it with you.
One of these two things is a basin of water. Some people may wonder, what is the use of putting a basin of water? Actually, there's a lot to learn about it.
When we turn on the air conditioner, whether it is cooling or heating, the air conditioner will dry out the air in the room. Dry air can easily lead to the loss of moisture from the mucous membranes of our respiratory tract, which can cause uncomfortable symptoms such as dry and itchy throat and coughing. When placed in a basin of water in the room, the moisture will gradually evaporate with the flow of air, increasing the humidity of the indoor air and alleviating the dry situation.
The placement of this basin of water is also very particular. It's best to place it near the air vent of the air conditioner, which will allow the evaporated water vapor to spread throughout the room more quickly with the air blown by the air conditioner. Also, choose a larger basin that can hold more water, thus ensuring a continuous and effective increase in air humidity throughout the night.
In addition to a basin of water, another essential thing is a thin blanket.
When sleeping in an air-conditioned room, the temperature adjustment is often prone to deviations. Sometimes we may feel cold in our sleep, but we can't adjust the temperature of the air conditioner in time. This is where a thin blanket comes into play. It can provide extra warmth to our body, especially in areas that are prone to cold, such as the abdomen, feet, etc.
The choice of material for thin blankets is also important. Cotton blankets are soft and comfortable, breathable, and able to keep warm while keeping them dry. Wool blankets provide better warmth, but for some people with sensitive skin, they can cause discomfort. In addition, you can also choose a blanket with some moisture wicking function to avoid feeling damp and stuffy when sweating.
When using a thin blanket, do not wrap yourself too tightly so as not to affect the normal heat dissipation of the body. Simply place it lightly over your body and adjust the coverage to suit your feelings.
Some people may think that these are small details and don't need to be too concerned. But in fact, ignoring these details for a long time can cause potential harm to our health. For example, respiratory diseases caused by dry air, colds and diarrhea caused by colds.
A friend's reminder made me deeply realize that paying attention to these small details in life can allow us to better protect our bodies while enjoying the convenience brought by technology. Now, whenever I go to bed at night and turn on the air conditioner, I will remember putting these two things on, and the quality of sleep has really been significantly improved, and I no longer have the discomfort of having a dry and itchy throat and a cold body when I wake up in the morning.
In short, sleeping at night with the air conditioner on, putting a basin of water and a thin blanket on the seemingly simple act contains care for health and the pursuit of quality of life. I hope everyone will pay attention to these tips to make every night comfortable and healthy accompanied by air conditioning. I would also like to thank my friends for their kind reminders, which allowed me to increase such practical knowledge and be able to better take care of myself and my family's life. Let's start from these subtleties to create a warmer and more comfortable sleeping environment for ourselves, and welcome every beautiful tomorrow with full spirit.
