Some are used, but not so recommended to sleep with the window open in winter as in summer. They attempt to justify this requirement, saying it is better to breathe at night, the fresh air and pure without, instead of confined air of a room. Let us see what is the reasoning.
The air we breathe must meet 2 essential qualities: he must first, of course, it is breathable, it must, secondly, be sufficiently dry, do not contain excessive moisture, because the Moisture promotes the growth of pathogenic microbes.
The moist air ingested into the lungs of a patient, increases the virulence of his disease germs. It may be, itself, contaminated by colonies of microbes found in him an environment favorable to their existence and their development and that it serves as a vehicle, in particular outbreak, and thus it can infect a healthy organism .
The night air in our country, is almost always wet, except in a few localities, an exceptional situation. It is almost always safe to breathe and we will act wisely and prudently by failing to introduce into the room where you sleep.
Other arguments in favor of such failure.
Sleep is prompted by the need to rest to restore our tired bodies energy for new endeavors. It is then in us an intense remedial it is very important not to disturb.
For this, the functions of life is slowing as much as possible, without going to a halt which would be death.
Respiration, in particular, absorbs the necessary amount of air, whose quality is irrelevant to a task also reduced it enough that it is breathable.
A look too bright, as cold air from outside, have the serious drawback of increasing the business functions and to lighter sleep to be deep to be truly refreshing and beneficial.
I mention for the record, colic, sore eyes, rheumatism and other accidents, some very serious due to the cool night, and demonstrating the invincible repugnance to the practice of our organization is far from as docile that wants a misconception too common and we do not control at will, with perseverance, but, instead, always rebelled against undue hardship, and whose resistance is reflected by events morbid conditions, such as those listed above.
To close the debate and finally decide the issue let’s take us into animals, our “lesser brethren” whose meanings are certainly much more developed and probably more than ours and that their instincts guide surely.
Conservation and hygiene, they are our masters, and the best we can do is imitate them.
They arrange themselves during their sleep, to breathe the fresh air of the night? Not at all, they avoid the contrary. To sleep, the bird put his head under wing, dogs lying around, poking his nose and his eyes under his hindquarters. Similarly for cats and other animals that are sheltered from their best against the dew and the dew. They look for the night, the place closed and covered, and to breathe cleaner air, do not stand near windows, skylights and other openings, but it away so they can settle down and opposite end, where the air is confined more and more warm.
Let us like them, avoid fresh air from outside, taking the night our windows closed, but it goes without saying that the air of our bedroom will be sufficiently pure and it is good sometimes to renew broken for a few minutes before going to bed.
