With the arrival of the cold, many people include heating systems to create comfortable sleeping conditions. However, experts warn: sleep in a superheated room can harm your health and worsen the quality of rest.
Body temperature naturally decreases at bedtime, which helps to immerse in deeper and restorative phases of sleep. On the heating, it interferes with this process, forcing a person to stir and wake up more often. Dry air from heaters can cause: dry throat; cracked lips; respiratory irritation and exacerbation of allergies; discomfort in sinuses. Continuous sleep and overheating can cause: increased stress for the immune system; cardiovascular tension; metabolic disorders. Dehydrated air promotes faster skin aging due to moisture loss. Due to overheating, the body is forced to work overtime to maintain a comfortable temperature, which can cause fatigue even after long sleep.

Use thermal underwear, warm pajamas or socks to preserve heat. Instead of heating, try: additional blankets; Bed heater (turn them off before going to bed). Moisturize the air with special devices to avoid dryness.
