Why should one not sleep under the trees at night
Answer Posted / ab satyaprakash
A general principle tells us that our body requires oxygen for almost all metabolic processes. This oxygen is primarily supplied to us by trees. Trees produce oxygen during the photochemical phase of photosynthesis ( by the photolysis of water). However the absence of light at night makes it almost impossible for trees to carry out photosynthesis. Thus their respiratory processes dominate over photosynthetic ones. Trees then give out more carbon dioxide and negligible oxygen. A person sleeping under a tree doesn't get adequate amount of oxygen as both of them give out carbon dioxide. This may prove harmful for the person.
It must be noted that according to recent studies of biochemistry and photosynthetic processes we come to know that there us more carbon dioxide in our rooms than there us under a tree. So, we can also say that it is just due to some insects or unwanted creatures that such practices are avoided. To be more precise the above theory us not very widely accepted.
