Doctor issues warning over alarming health risks of sleeping with fan on during hot weather

This common summer habit could be ruining your health

With sunshine gracing the UK, Britons have been making the most of an early taste of summer.

But with only around 5% of UK homes equipped with air conditioning, people are resorting to chilling their pillowcases in the freezer, drinking ice-cold water to cool down, or buying a fan.

While a bedside fan might seem like a lifesaver, one health expert has issued a warning about the hidden health risks of sleeping with an electric fan on all night.

Speaking with LADbible, PhD health expert Dr. Naheed Ali explained that while fans help cool the skin by speeding up sweat evaporation, leaving one on all night can ‘create hidden stress on the body’.
