Medical workers recommend not to install beds near central heating batteries heating.

A person's sleeping place should not be located next to the heating battery – “the distance between the bed and the radiator should not be less than one meter”.

Sleeping in close proximity to the battery is harmful, because at the same time, the body is exposed to more intense heat. Such “heat treatment” becomes an additional test for the body, requiring it to make efforts to cool the body – this, in turn, can have a negative effect on the heart, especially if it is already weakened by existing chronic pathologies.

“Temperature more than 22-23 degrees has a negative effect on the cardiovascular system, putting an additional load on the myocardium”. This can result in conditions associated with drowsiness, fatigue, lethargy, decreased performance and “brain fog” that occur due to insufficient oxygen.

As for the bedroom, opening the windows and letting in fresh air is especially important. before going to bed. The temperature in it should not exceed 16 degrees.
