Is it safe to sleep with the heater on? I have been doing so for a few nights now in an attempt to keep of the biting cold. Of late, I have developed a dull headache in the morning and I am wondering if this is connected to the heater.
Dear reader,
It is risky to sleep with a heater on overnight. is is due to risk or rising carbon monoxide levels, fire danger and damage to the electrical outlets. High carbon monoxide levels reduce the amount of oxygen available for your body to use and can lead to headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, weakness, loss of consciousness and death. Having the heater on for long can also cause dehydration, dry skin causing redness and itchiness, dry irritated eyes, irritation of the airways, chest pain and heart problems.
e safest heaters are the oil/convection heaters and these can be left on throughout. e other heaters include ceramic heaters, infrared heaters, fan heaters and conduction heaters.
To reduce fire risk, place the heater on a firm hard surface in an open area away from any clothing, furniture, curtains or highly flammable materials and switch it off before sleeping. To reduce the risk of dehydrating the skin and eyes, place a container with water in the corner of the room or use a humidifier.
