The community unanimously asserts that an excessively hot sleep environment (approximately 31°C) is severely detrimental to health and rest, and that prohibiting the use of cooling tools (fan, air conditioning) constitutes abusive or neglectful parenting.

Science confirms that thermal regulation is crucial for sleep: the body must lower its internal temperature to fall asleep, a process facilitated by a cool ambient temperature, ideally between 16°C and 20°C (Méta-analyse, Journal of Physiological Anthropology). Ambient temperatures well above this threshold, as mentioned here, increase wakefulness and reduce the quality of deep sleep (RCT, Science of The Total Environment). The idea that a fan causes illness is an unsupported popular belief; studies show that air circulation instead assists in the evaporation of sweat and skin cooling. If the body temperature remains too high, physiological recovery and immune functions can indeed be impaired in the long term. The community is in strong convergence in characterizing these conditions as harmful and in encouraging the young person to seek outside support.
