In summer, many of us have experienced that when the air conditioner starts to operate, the coolness spreads to the room, and our working efficiency is improved. Whether we are focusing on study or dealing with business issues, we can always keep a clear and concentrated mind. So why does the air-conditioned environment make people more concentrated?

 

1. The relationship between temperature and brain activity

 

The human body is very sensitive to the temperature. Research shows that an overheating environment makes people tired and anonymous and can even lead to sweat, a fast heartbeat, and such physical reactions, resulting in dispersed concentration. On the contrary, in moderately cool spaces, our brain could be clearer, and transmission of nerve signals could be smoother, which conduces to the swiftness and focus of mind.

 

 

2. Comfort reduces the “physiological burden”

 

When the room temperature is too high, our body needs more energy to adjust the body temperature. Such an "additional burden" will disperse all our energy, making us feel tired.

 

3. Comfort reduces distractions and irritability

 

Heating will lead to irritability and impatience, which will influence mood stability. While mood fluctuation is an important reason for the dispersed concentration. Cooling not only reduces our body temperature but also helps to keep a stable mood and create a quiet, pleasant atmosphere, conducive to keeping focus for a long time.

 

4. Scientific evidence for improving learning and work performance

 

The study shows people's concentration and learning efficiency reach the top level under the environment of 22℃-25℃. If the temperature exceeds 28℃, the error percentage and reaction relay will increase apparently. This is to explain why many schools, libraries, and offices tend to keep a temperature environment of moderate coolness.

 

 

5. Moderation is the point

 

Of course, an overly cold environment will bring problems as well. Such as cold hands and feet, freezing muscles, and even the influences of blood circulation. But relying on air conditioning units too much will lead to the "air conditioner illness." So maintaining a concentration-conducive environment is not about the cooler the better, but about keeping a comfortable, stable, and cool temperature as an ideal.

 

An air-conditioned environment is not only about the coolness; it is more of a state to keep our body relaxed and our mind active. Moderate temperature can help to better concentrate and improve our study and work efficiency. To those who are pursuing high efficiency in modern society, an air conditioner is not only a "cooling machine" but also an important tool to form an atmosphere.
