Health issues caused by sleeping with the AC on

The soaring mercury and heat waves can make it difficult to get restful sleep on hot summer nights. While there are ways to manage sleep during summer, many people habitually switch on the air conditioning (AC) and slumber peacefully through the night in the cool room. While some studies suggest that this is risk-free, experts highlight the health consequences of continuous AC exposure while sleeping. The perils are manifold and could unfold in the form of disrupted sleep patterns, respiratory woes, dry and parched skin or a persistent cough. Sleeping in the AC for long hours might do more harm than good to the health of kids as well as adults.
