Are we playing with our health in the name of warmth? Those who sleep wearing sweaters should be careful: – ..

News India Live, Digital Desk: Half of the month of December has passed (15th December) and the cold is at its peak. In such a situation, we all have the same routine: eat dinner at night and quickly hide under the quilt. It often happens that we feel so cold that we lose our weight at night. Woolen Clothes Don’t even want to take it off and go to sleep wearing it. We feel that this will help in getting good sleep and also will not make you feel cold.

But, wait! If you are also one of those people who wear a sweater or jacket and cover themselves with a quilt, then you need to be a little careful. According to doctors and health experts, this habit can become a problem for your health. Why? Let us understand in simple language.

1. Skin cannot breathe (Skin Problems)
We remain wrapped in clothes all day long. Our skin also needs to breathe freely, at least at night. Woolen clothes are very thick. When you wear them and cover yourself with a quilt, double heat is generated. Due to this your skin starts losing moisture. As a result, after waking up in the morning, problems like itching, dryness and sometimes even rashes or eczema start occurring.

2. Restlessness & BP game
You must have noticed that sometimes at night you suddenly start feeling very hot and nervous. This could be because of the ‘sweater’. Actually, too much heat can cause dilation of our blood vessels, due to which there is a risk of low blood pressure (BP). Body temperature should naturally decrease at night, but sweaters increase it, which causes restlessness and prevents deep sleep.

3. Effect on heart health
People who are heart patients should not make this mistake at all. Too much heat and lack of air can cause heaviness in the chest.

Then what to do?

It is important to avoid cold, but adopt the right way:

• Use Layers: Instead of wearing a thick sweater, add a quilt or blanket.
• Use of cotton: While sleeping at night, always wear loose-fitting cotton clothes or light ‘thermal inner’ which allows the skin to breathe.
• Keep the room warm: If it is very cold, then run the heater for some time or keep a hot water bottle near your feet, but avoid sleeping wearing a sweater.

A little caution can save both your sleep at night and freshness in the morning. Stay healthy and stay safe!
