A Humidifier During Heating Season Changes More Than the Air

When heating kicks on in winter, indoor humidity can drop below 20% — drier than most deserts. This dries out your nasal passages, throat, skin, and eyes, making you more vulnerable to colds and infections. A simple humidifier in your bedroom can make a noticeable difference in sleep quality, morning throat comfort, and skin health. Aim for 40-60% humidity. Clean the humidifier regularly to avoid mold. It's a small investment that quietly improves how you feel every day through the cold months.
