Why do we get cold and sleepy when we get sun burned?

In: 12

When we get sunburned, our skin gets hurt because of too much sunlight. This can make our body feel tired and sleepy because it’s working hard to help our skin heal.

Our body also wants to protect us from more sunlight, so it makes us feel cold to try and cool us down. This is like when you have a fever and your body feels hot, but when you have a sunburn your body feels cold instead.

It’s important to take care of our skin and protect it from too much sun, so we can stay healthy and feel good!

It doesn’t. You are thinking of heat exhaustion. Those often correlate and are both easily caused by lying in the sun for to long, but one is a circulatory problem and the other is radiation burn.
