Can You Sleep in the Car with the Heater On?

You should not sleep in the car with the heater on. When the heater is running, it usually operates in recirculation mode. Sleeping in the car for an extended period can lead to dizziness, nausea, and even vomiting due to oxygen deprivation, and in severe cases, carbon monoxide poisoning. Here are some precautions to take when using the heater: 1. Leave a small gap in the window to allow air exchange between the inside and outside of the car; 2. Turn on the external circulation mode when using the air conditioning to promote air exchange; 3. Regularly check the vehicle's exhaust system for leaks to prevent exhaust fumes from entering the cabin and avoid poisoning; 4. Always turn off the engine and open the windows when resting in the car; 5. A comfortable temperature inside the car is around 22 degrees Celsius; 6. Be mindful of dryness when using the heater.
