Maintaining a moderate temperature, avoiding the wind blowing directly on people, choosing a quiet running mode… will help users sleep soundly and wake up refreshed.
Deep and sufficient sleep also helps strengthen immunity, enhance memory, creative thinking and work efficiency. For a good night’s sleep, the environment around the bedroom plays a very important role. Besides suitable mattresses, blankets and pillows, many people cannot sleep without air conditioning. Sharing in a talkshow on how to use air conditioners for health broadcast in March on the VnExpress fanpage, Dr. Truong Huu Khanh – former head of the Department of Infection – Neurology, Children’s Hospital 1 in Ho Chi Minh City, said, In hot weather, many children can only sleep well when the bedroom has a properly adjusted air conditioner.

According to Mr. Nguyen Quoc Anh, Senior Manager – Technical Support Department – Daikin Vietnam, 4 factors to keep in mind when choosing and using air conditioners for comfort and good sleep are products that do not make noise, does not cause dry skin, dry throat, the air in the room should be fresh and the temperature should be stable.
Here are some notes when using the air conditioner to sleep well, as recommended by refrigeration experts:
Quiet mode setting
One factor that ensures a good night’s sleep is stillness. In fact, many people find it difficult to fall asleep because of the noises from household appliances in the house. In order for the air conditioner to operate smoothly, users need to pay attention to the installation location of the machine. If the outdoor unit or indoor unit is installed on a wall that is too thin or the wall is made of materials prone to vibration such as plaster or corrugated iron, it will cause loud noise when the unit is in operation. To overcome this, a rubber pad can be placed on the bottom of the outdoor unit to prevent vibration. The outdoor unit and indoor unit should not be installed too close to each other (pipe length is shorter than 2.5m) to avoid the two devices resonating sound, causing noise.
The fan is the part that makes a lot of noise when the air conditioner is in operation, especially in old machines. However, you can overcome this noise by pressing the Fan (fan) key on the remote and selecting the lowest fan mode or auto, the noise will be significantly reduced. Consumers can find information about the noise level of the machine in the product specification sheet. Usually when the air conditioner is in operation, the outdoor unit will make a louder noise than the indoor unit. If the room is well soundproof, when the door is closed, in the room, we do not hear the noise from the outdoor unit. The outdoor unit noise level usually fluctuates around 40 – 50dBA, the indoor unit noise level is lower, can be as low as 18 dBA, like Daikin’s FTKY25VVMV 1HP air conditioner.

Choose the right temperature
Many sleepers may wake up in the middle of the night feeling too hot or too cold. A stable temperature is also an important factor in deep sleep. You should choose to buy an inverter air conditioner to keep the room temperature stable. Specifically, after reaching the set temperature, Inverter technology allows the machine to continue running at low power to maintain the room temperature, while the air conditioner without this technology will automatically turn off and run again only when the temperature is reached. the actual temperature of the room has increased by 2 – 3◦C. The operating mechanism of the mono machine therefore causes the room temperature to rise and fall erratically, causing discomfort. In addition, users can choose Inverter air conditioners with Swing compressor technology, which reduces operating noise and provides a good night’s sleep.
Besides, to adjust the room temperature to suit your body temperature when sleeping, you can turn on Sleep mode, normally the air conditioner will increase from 2◦C within an hour compared to the set temperature. preset, helping users not to get too cold and save electricity. In Sleep mode, the device will run quieter and quieter, so users can sleep well.
In Vietnam’s climate, air conditioning experts recommend turning on the machine at 25 – 27◦C for comfort and optimal power saving.
Avoid letting the wind and cold blow directly on you
According to doctor Truong Huu Khanh, to maintain health, when turning on the air conditioner as well as the fan should not direct the wind directly to the person, especially the nose and throat area to avoid respiratory inflammation as well as dry skin.
Besides the Swing button on the remote to reverse the direction of the wind and cold air in the up and down direction, many air conditioners have improved the indoor unit mask to help the cold air not directly hit the user. For example, the Coanda mask design on Daikin air conditioners helps direct the air flow along the ceiling, spreading evenly throughout the space, cooling every corner of the room. Thanks to that, the user feels comfortable and comfortable while the respiratory tract is protected.

Choose products that integrate health protection technologies
Health protection technologies will bring comfort to users. In pleasant conditions, users also easily fall asleep and sleep better.
Vietnam is located in a tropical climate, humidity is often above 80%, causing oily skin, hissing and mold growth. Turning on the air conditioner can help “suction” moisture in the air, but this can make the user’s skin and throat dry, and possibly even respiratory infections. Many consumers have overcome this situation by placing a basin of water in the room or using a nebulizer. Recently, air conditioner manufacturers have added moisture balance modes. For example, Daikin brand with Hybrid Cooling technology. Accordingly, the machine is integrated with a sensor that monitors the humidity in the room to simultaneously regulate temperature and humidity, maintaining the ideal humidity level with the user’s health at 55% – 65%, helping to protect the nose. The throat is not dry, helping the skin maintain optimal moisture levels as well as not being greasy.
In addition, keeping the air fresh will help you sleep more comfortably. Facing the increasing situation of air pollution, most brands have added air filtration features to their products such as dust filters, PM2.5 filters, biological filters capable of deodorizing and removing odors. many allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet hair, mold… and inhibit some bacteria on the indoor unit. Last year, Daikin introduced more exclusive Streamer technology, which destroys viruses, bacteria, and mold on the indoor unit based on the plasma discharge mechanism, which has a speed 1,000 times higher than normal discharge, creating more energy. 1,000 times stronger than luminous discharge. According to tests at the Japan Food Research Institute and Okayama University of Science in the period from 2004 to 2018, the bactericidal efficiency of Streamer technology is up to 99.9%. The company also applies Mold Proof technology to prevent mold from sticking to the indoor unit.
Clean the air conditioner regularly
During operation, the air conditioner often gets dusty, reducing the cooling capacity and freshness of the air. Refrigeration experts recommend, every 2 weeks, users should remove the dust filter on the indoor unit, and then clean the machine periodically every 6 months to ensure fresh air.
Through the Daikin Vietnam smartphone application, consumers nationwide can easily order air conditioning maintenance services with Daikin’s genuine technicians. Service package prices are listed transparently on the application. All maintenance cleaning packages spray hot water to kill bacteria that accumulate on the indoor unit, bringing fresh air to users.
