1. To adjust your air-conditioner at a comfortable room temperature. (i.e. around 23 Degree Celsius)

2. To properly adjust air diffuser of your airconditioner so that the cool air will not be directly discharged towards the ceiling or the floor.

3. To maintain sufficient ventilation by opening the windows when you leave the room for a certain period of time.

4. To regularly clean your bedding set for the sake of environmental hygiene against the growth of mould, fungi and dust mite.
