It's been hot and humid here so my husband put on window air conditioner in our bedroom. The window is pretty close to my side of the bed, anyhow, I was extremelly uncomfortable all night and when I got up I was stiffer than I have ever been in places that I am usually not stiff. Is this common?I've heard some people say that air conditioning seems to help keep the inflammation at bay - hot, humid weather really sets them off. I've never experienced stiffness after sleeping in an air-conditioned room. In fact, I keep my room between 60F and 65F during the winter time, and I often have the window open a crack. I have noticed that the humidity makes it worse, I wonder why that happened then, weird. It sure was nice not to be awake all night sweating though.I notice that humidity really does me in. Maybe turn the air con a few degrees higher just so you aren't cold, but are still more comfortable that with all the heat and humidity. We don't have air con, just a ceiling fan so I don't have a problem at home with anything but the humidity. I swell up like a pumpkin.
Would it help if you and hubby switched sides of the bed?
yep, I think I may rearrange the room today too so we are not so close to it.Reegie-
