Best nights, caused by climate change, further threat to health
If nights stay hot, many people die, many from cardiovascular problems. But there are simple ways you can use to stay cooler and healthy

If the summer of 2025 is something like last year, getting ready to sweat. July and August of 2024 is one of the hottest months recorded at US Phoenix, Ariz., Saw the day temperature higher than 100 days. But now the temperature remains high in the evening, also, adding health risks. If it keeps hot after sunset, many people die than usually do. Emergency Room visits and hospital admissions stand. The progress before being born. Sleep and mental health suffer. But there are simple and practical ways you can use to stay more healthier, which is more crashing into your expensive air conditioner.
“Most of the heat exposition is severe,” as Ashley Ward, Director of the Heat Policy Innovation Hub at the Nicholas Institute of Duke University. He and the other are more focused on the full effect of warmer nights after warm days. The temperature of the night increases twice as fast as the temperature of the day because INgeating Clack Tover at night, made with the greenhouse effect, the traps of traps and turn them on the ground. In parts of the southeast, for example, now there are more than 30 days a year the temperature will remain more than 75 degree f at night, Ward said. Heat Islands, parts of cities with many concrete and some shadow trees, suffering heat and further in effect, but also suffered in areas.

“If it doesn’t cool down at night, then your core body temperature can’t really get back to what is normal for you,” says epidemiologist Kristie Ebi of the Center for Health and the Global Environment at the University of Washington. “You started the next morning with a higher baseline.” So death rates began to increase about 24 hours during heat waves. “It was not immediately exposure; it was healing a day, without getting the comfort of the night. That began to affect the cells and organs,” said Ebi.
The body temperature is important because it is the heat of your internal organs than your most obvious skin temperature. “Heat is called a quiet killer because people are not very good at determining whether their core body temperature rises,” said Ebi. “It should remain within a narrow content to protect us and our organs.” That range is about 97 to 99 degrees f, but it varies the whole day and from someone to man.
If your face becomes red in heat, because your body pushes the blood in the face to cool it. As well as, if the sweat evaporates from the skin, it takes heat to the body with it.
Bodies are designed to cool through tricks such as flushing and sweat. If your face becomes red in heat, because your body pushes the blood in the face to cool it. As well as, if the sweat evaporates from the skin, it takes heat to the body with it. But the body does not always continue. The process of thermoregulation can prevent the heart, which should work more than pumping blood, and harms the kidneys, which can be injured in dehydration.
Sleeping habits, critical for general health, also suffered heat. Recent Global Studies Using Survey Data and Billions of Measurements From Fitness Bands Found That People Sleep Less Well As Temperatures Go Up, Says Nick Obradovich, Chief Scientist for Environmental Mental Health At The Laurate Institute for Brain Research in Tulsa, Okla. Heat makes it harder to fall asleep and causes people to wake a little earlier than usual. “It increases the likelihood that people have what we mean short sleep, or less than seven hours a night,” says obradovich. In addition, the most hotter nights gather, the wicked people sleep. Inadequate sleep damage to the immune system and linked to higher risks for cancer and sickness of Alzheimer. It is also bound by poorest mental health.
Emotional problems and behavior related to temperature rise include increased risk of suicide. Again, the longer the temperatures will continue, the more stable the psychological outcome. Overall, “more likely to have a stage of mental health on the sixth day (in a heat wave) than your first day,” says obradovich.
In order to worse things, the increase in temperature is the collision of poverty, age, and other health determinations, the ward said. Many people are the least efficient energy efficiency that is least able to reach air-conditioning. Older adults are more likely to cause heart disease or artery, diabetes or respiratory diseases that are easier to attract. Prescription drugs, as used to treat Parkinson’s disease and beta blockers used for hypertension, reducing the ability of the thermoregulate’s body.
Geography is also important. High humidity, usually appears in the southeastern US, more dangerous because it makes it harder for sweat to erase. In the dry Southwest heat, sweat is breaking down quickly, which makes you sad before you know it.
Fortunately, people can help their body to make the most natural ways of cooling it with scientific-proven tactics. Immersing your hands and feet in cool water-De cold urge an answer from special types of blood vessels that release the internal heat above, which it can prevent rapidly. The procedure was used regularly in the military. And after a hot day in the yard, Ward said, more effectively to shower than opening a cold body temperature, while the last body temperature, while the last is a diuretic temperature. Remaining hydrated (in water!) Reduces the lame of the kidneys. If access to air-conditioning your home is limited, concentrate on lowering room temperature instead of other rooms. It will give you a better chance to sleep, that is eager to dream of colders to come.
