Guest guest Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Has anyone ever slept in the cold, in the winter, in a moldy house and could not sleep through the night due to very intense mold-related head-aches? Probably most of you heat your homes well enough in the winter to not experience that. It seems to me as if sleeping in the cold concentrates the mold-toxins in the nervous system and causes powerful head-aches. I suspect that sleep is some sort of natural detox cycle in which the body is very vulnerable to toxins in the air. I can sleep in freezing cold weather, outside, away from mold & leaky roofs just fine w/ enough blankets. The problem eventually becomes, when it gets too cold below freezing, that one has to mix the warm air from the lungs with the cold-but-fresh air from outside the blanket, and eventually either the air is too cold to allow sleep, or too lacking in fresh oxygen to not suffocate. There has to be a better way. I sometimes wish I had a big air pipe going out far away from the house w/ a little fan sucking in air through it from outside, clean of all mold, and on to a helmet that I can wear while I sleep. This way I wont be breathing mold toxins all night, and I can still have an air-conditioned body. The problem w/ sleeping outside in the summer is that it is extremely hot until about 1am. Sometimes longer, and it's very hard to sleep when it's too hot. Perhaps I just need to lose weight. Perhaps if I was very skinny, I could sleep easier outside. The other problem is mosquitos, but the net keeps them off, but it also pretty much eliminates all drafts, which would greatly help cool me off while I'm trying to sleep. Perhaps a fan will help.
