Setting the air conditioner to 26°C at night may not be ideal for several reasons:
Body Temperature Drops: Your body naturally cools at night, making 26°C feel warm and potentially disrupting your sleep.
Energy Consumption: AC units work harder to maintain this temperature, increasing energy costs. Raising the setting to 27–28°C can save energy without sacrificing comfort.
Health Impact: Cooler air can lead to issues like dry skin, throat irritation, and weakened immunity, raising the risk of illness.
Humidity Levels: Lower temperatures can dry out the air, causing dehydration and discomfort in your eyes and nasal passages.
Sleep Disruption: An overly cold room can cause shivering, disrupting sleep even at a seemingly comfortable temperature.
Recommended Temperature: Experts suggest keeping the AC between 27°C and 29°C at night for optimal comfort, energy savings, and health benefits.
