🌞 Medical History Fact Friday 🩺
Did you know… people used to fear “night air” in the summer could make you sick? 🌙😳
Back in the 1800s, many doctors believed that sleeping with your windows open at night could expose you to “bad air” (called miasma) and lead to illness.
So what did people do?
👉 Shut their windows tight—even in the middle of summer heat 🥵
👉 Avoided night breezes completely
👉 Believed cool evening air was dangerous to breathe
😅 Turns out… they had it a little backwards.
Fresh air actually helps reduce the spread of illness, while hot, closed spaces can make things worse.
💬 Let’s settle this:
👉 Do you sleep with a fan, AC, or windows open?
OR
👉 Do you need it completely closed up to sleep?
