Summer Tip: Don't sleep with the air conditioner constantly on

Apparently, I'm starting to get pneumonia. That's apparently how my grandfather died - sleeping with the air conditioner on, got pneumonia, and died. Feels like my lung capacity got cut in half.

So, uh.. yeah, be careful about that. The modern air conditioner - friend or foe? Discuss.

All forms of cold are evil.

I turn my air conditioner on in my room when I sleep only.

I keep the air conditioner on all night at like 65 degrees...doesn't really bother me...

Oh sure, it doesn't bother you now, but when you wake up and wonder why the heck your chest is hurting and you can't breathe as well as you usually do, you'll scream CURSE YOU AIR CONDITIONER!!! and post in this thread again, wishing you would have heeded my words.

Normally I have it on, doesn't bother me at all. Sometimes my dad turns it off, maybe cuz he has trouble breathing. Oh well.

My air conditioner is energy star.

you probably wouldn't believe me, but i was told by a doctor that, despite super sensitivity to hot and cold, i probably wouldn't be able to catch pneumonia even if i had the air conditioner running 24/7

Perhaps not YOU, Immunity McNotGonnaGetSick, but bacteria DO like to breed in air conditioners. Apparently there's some kind of "Legionnaires’ disease" which I think I'm going to look up on Google..

lol, yeah there are. My family is immune to most diseases that breed in the air conditioner (pneumonia is an exception except with me)

i sleep durring the day so i turn it on durring the day. I rather like the cold. cant stand summer time, to hot.

you sound like my mom there MasterAC. She loves the cold and hates the heat. She would move to Alaska or Antarctica if she could :/

i live in south louisiana, it gets friggin hot durring the summer. winter on adverage is about 40-50 degrees.

Ah, I lived in Mississippi for 12 years. I rather enjoyed the summer (i am totally opposite what my mom is like when it comes to weather preference)

My AC is on right now and I can actually feel my legs starting to get numb, but I'm too lazy to get up and turn it off. Don't judge me.

I freeze my ass off downstairs in the basement while my mom burns up upstairs :/

I live in Texas and I'd have to say that playing football in 100 plus heat with gay humidity has made me hate the heat. I would love to live somewhere where it never gets cold, like Antarctica.

ever had 110 with a really high humidity and not being allowed in because it's "hotter" inside than outside when in fact thats' only because they haven't paid certain bills and the a/c was cut off?

Another reason why I hate the heat is my car has no AC, so everytime I get into it it's around 140-160 degrees.

somewhere where it never gets cold, like Antarctica.

Exactly..

Wait.
