"My brain is hotter than the temperature"! ? Why you can't concentrate in the extreme heat of 2025
Why is it "hot, but I can't get a job"?
In the summer of 2025, not only the temperature but also the "humidity" will be abnormal.
However, even if you can control the room temperature with an air conditioner, do you feel that you can't concentrate?
In fact, it may be related to the temperature of the brain.
In this article,
- Why does the brain heat up
- Why does the brain lose concentration when it heats up?
- How can I cool it down?
We will explain it scientifically and in a way that can be used in everyday life.
Was the brain a "heat-producing organ"?
The brain is only about 2% of body weight, but it is an organ that uses about 20% of the total energy consumed.
In other words, it is "a part that produces a lot of heat".
Especially
- Long hours of PC work
- High stress conditions
- High temperature and humid environment in summer
This makes it easier for the temperature of the brain to rise.
What happens when the brain heats up?
✅ Difficulty Concentrating
→ The activity of the frontal lobe (thinking and judgment) slows down.
✅ Thought Rotation Drops
→ Unstable neurotransmission in the brain. The reaction speed also decreases.
✅ Irritability and fatigue
→ Some people experience autonomic nervous system disturbances and mild headaches.
"Wisdom of life" to cool the brain
● 1. Cooling points are "back of the head" and "neck"
→ It is effective to use a cooling pita or cooling scarf.
● 2. Make time to "stop" your brain
→ 5 minutes of "close your eyes and take a deep breath" resets the brain's thermal runaway.
● 3. Caffeine in moderation
→ On the other hand, it can also increase brain energy consumption and generate heat.

Conclusion|"It's not just about temperature" to manage your physical condition in summer
In a summer of high temperatures× high humidity like 2025,
**Being aware of not only room temperature but also "brain temperature" is the key to maintaining concentration and physical condition.
A small ingenuity can make a big difference.
This summer, please try incorporating "brain cooling".
