This is the most useful post I've read in my life. I think you've explained partly why my skin dries out, why I can wake up feeling dreadful - particularly after a short nap. In short I think I need to man up and open my windows far more than I ever do. I'm very bad at leaving them closed all the time.Gavin Scott wrote: Breathing in dry air makes the uptake of oxygen and its subsequent transfer to the blood system more difficult. The knock on effects of that are fatigue and reduced concentration levels.
Trolley dollies on airlines complain of it.
Vitamin D is essential in the production of white blood cells. Lack of it causes problems, and too much of it probably indicates you've been laying out in the sun too long.
Harm springs from excess, as granny used to say.
EDIT: also, "During the winter months when we turn on central heating and close the double-glazing, our sealed homes can dry out to less than 25% relative humidity. This is as dry as the Sahara Dessert. The warm inside air tries to regain its moisture balance and sucks water from any available source, including our skin, hair, eyes, nose and throat.
This results in dry, flaky skin, especially around our face and hands, hair becoming more brittle and susceptible to split ends, and our eyes becoming itchy, especially for contacts lens wearers.
Very worrying effects of a dry inside atmosphere are our nose and throat drying out, as this leaves us more susceptible to colds and viruses. The mucous membranes in our nose and throat are natural defences against airborne germs. Dry them out and we are left vulnerable."
You didn't google very hard, did you?
