Why Do You Feel Sick Leaving the Office?

How Indoor Plants Buffer Malaysia’s Dry Offices & Humid Evenings

Do You Feel Sick When You Step Out of the Office? Here’s Why.

It’s the end of the workday. You step out of your air-conditioned office, and suddenly, the humid, sticky air hits you like a wall.

Your glasses fog up instantly, your breathing feels heavier, and you might even feel a little dizzy or fatigued. This isn’t just uncomfortable—it’s a shock to your body.

The Hidden Problem: Drastic Indoor-Outdoor Humidity Shifts

Malaysia’s weather is naturally humid, often exceeding 90% humidity, especially after rain. But most offices over-dry the air due to continuous air-conditioning, creating an indoor environment with only 30-40% humidity.

This sudden shift from dry office air to humid outdoor air can cause:

• Dizziness & headaches – Your body struggles to adjust to the humidity change.
• Fatigue & brain fog – Dehydration from dry air leads to lower energy levels.
• Skin & throat irritation – Dry indoor air causes discomfort, while humid outdoor air makes it worse.
• Weakened immune system – Constant exposure to extreme humidity shifts can make you more prone to colds.

How Indoor Plants Create a Comfortable Buffer

Instead of turning off the air-cond, the best way to soften the impact of humidity changes is by using indoor plants to naturally regulate moisture levels in your office.

• In Dry Offices: Plants release moisture into the air, preventing extreme dryness.
• On Humid Days: Certain plants absorb excess moisture, reducing the heaviness of the air.
• As a Humidity Buffer: Plants help smooth the transition between indoor and outdoor air, reducing discomfort.

Transform Your Office into a More Comfortable Space

If dry office air makes you feel exhausted and stepping outside makes you feel sick, your workplace needs a humidity-balancing solution. Indoor plants help regulate air moisture naturally, creating a healthier, more comfortable environment for everyone.
