As temperatures soar across the UK, many people may be digging around their attics to pull out their trusty electric fan.
While the popular appliance is many people's go-to device to help them cool down, it may do more harm than good, according to experts. Martin Seeley, the CEO and sleep expert at MattressNextDay, has issued a warning to Brits while urging them to turn off their electric fans at night.
While the electric fan can be a cost-effective tool to help you cool down when compared to other devices such as an air conditioner, there are some downsides. This can include triggering illnesses and causing other painful symptoms across different parts of the body.
