What are the dangers of sleeping on an electric mattress

Electric blankets are also known as electric blankets. Many people are afraid of the cold and have cold hands and feet in winter, which leads to poor sleep. So they put electric blankets on their beds to use. However, using electric blankets for a long time or too frequently may not be a good thing for human health and may even threaten personal safety. Below, I will introduce in detail the dangers of sleeping with an electric blanket.

1. Prone to diseases

When in use, electric blankets continuously dissipate heat, causing the moisture in human skin to evaporate and dry out; on the other hand, the heat source itself can easily harm the health of infants and young children and irritate the skin, easily leading to allergic dermatitis. It often causes unbearable itching, making it difficult to sleep at night, and affecting rest and work.

2. Affect the health of infants and young children

Dehydration in infants and young children is caused by the fact that they are in the growth and development period, and their water intake should be higher than that of adults in proportion to their body weight. However, if electric blankets are used too hot for too long, the children will lose too much water and cause dryness of the throat mucosa, resulting in dehydration symptoms such as hoarseness, irritability, etc.

3. May cause burning and electric shock

There are two main unsafe factors of electric blankets: one is that the electric blanket overheats due to improper use, causing sparks, arcs and other burning accidents; the other is electric shock accidents caused by poor insulation or insulation damage of the electric blanket.

4. Long-term use of electric blankets may cause infertility

When an electric blanket is turned on, it will have a very low electromagnetic field, which will have some adverse effects on women's endocrine system. Long-term use may cause infertility.

The male testicles can only ensure the activity of sperm at a lower temperature. The heat generated by the electric blanket will have an adverse effect on the male's seminal vesicle over a long period of time, causing men to have fewer sperm or weak sperm motility.

5. Decreased immunity

Children have great physical vitality and if they get used to the heat of electric blankets, their resistance to the cold will decrease.

6. Lack of energy

If you sleep with an electric blanket that is too hot for a long time, your sleep quality will be affected, and you will feel tired when you wake up the next day.
