Please join me in ending window open AC off nights! This practice creates uncomfortable and quite frankly absurd sleeping conditions! Help us make the world a better place.

The air conditioner was invented in 1902, that's 121 years ago, utilize this marvelous device! Willis Haviland Carrier would be upset and ashamed to know how his beautiful invention is being underappreciated. Utter blasphemy and a besmirch to his name if you ask me. Just because it is colder outside than inside does not mean the windows should be opened and the AC turned off. As we all know, it's not the heat it's the humidity! Even though the temperature may be cooler, the drastic increase in humidity causes an unideal sleeping environment. For instance, a cool 66 degree August night in Wisconsin can still yield a whopping 75% humidity! With the ideal sleeping humidity being 40-50% this simply will not play. If the air conditioner is left on at say an arbitrary 69 or 70 degrees the home will only rise a few degrees with the humidity still being regulated by the unit allowing for much better sleeping conditions. This is an epidemic of poor sleep crippling our great nation. 

The vast amount of people impacted by windows open AC off nights is estimated to be around 80% of the U.S. population or 267,387,083 people. That is a lot of people! 

The effect of sleep deprivation on the human body can be, but not limited to, an increased risk of hypertension, diabetes, obesity, depression, heart attack, and stroke. Not too mention the effect on mental health! Heart issues are the leading killer in the US! How many deaths could be prevented or limited by an elimination of windows open AC off nights? There is also the negative impact on performance to be taken into account. When optimal sleep is not achieved including a REM cycle between 1.5-2.5 hours the human body cannot perform at it's peak potential. The lessened performance translates directly into daily life. Driving, communicating, and working are all performance based tasks. Worse driving? More deaths and destruction from windows open AC off nights. Worse communication? An unnecessary burden on relationships and family life. For how many fights, divorces, or again deaths has windows open AC off nights been the underlying factor? Worse work performance? Bad economy, job loss, inflation, less money earned, death or injury on the job, etc. I hope this has outlined the detrimental effects of windows open AC off nights. It truly is a scary subject and an epidemic.

Please join me in eradicating windows open AC off nights once and for all. With so many people affected why wait for another to die or lose their family or job? We must act now!
