who here kips, or knows someone who kips with a hairdryer or fanheater?

ive been doing it for years, as have my brother and mother?

just wondering if this is a common thing??

its a combination of heat and noise for me. drowns out all background noise and the numerous voices in my head. lol
 
I can't even begin to imagine how wasteful that is lol. Not to mention potentially dangerous from the thing overheating.

I'd guess that hairdryers are designed to be on for 10 minutes at a time, let alone several hours.

In answer to your question, no OP. I need total silence and darkness in which to sleep, and even then it's difficult these days.

And no, I'm not trying it. The Mrs would kill me if a) it woke her up b) I broke her hair dryer c) the house burnt down. She's always been most vocal about the last point, and the thought of her saying "told you so" is just too much to bear.

fan heaters are a lot quieter than a hairdyer and are designed to be on for several hours. most turn off if they overheat so its fairly safe.

my brother ****ed up one night woke up and the quilt was over the fan heater and smoke filled the room and the quilt had been burnt. close shave.
 
You mentioned hairdryer though, heater I can understand by hairdryer doesn't make sense to me.

It'd be like cooking a sausage over a lightbulb. You can, but it's the wrong tool for the job.

I know of an OcUK staff member who uses a hairdryer to warm his bed before he gets into it. Strange really.
 
I used to sleep next to a fan heater on really cold nights. Then one absolutely freezing night i decided to lie the heater on the edge of the bed blowing hot air under the covers (the covers werent actually over the heater). I woke up and the smell of burning flesh filled the room, i had turned over in my sleep and had a massive burn on my left calf muscle. I still bear the scar to this day. Nowadays i find an electric blanket serves the same purpose, but is much safer and cheaper.

Heh I do that too.

Heating in bedroom is off and window is open 24/7, so during winter the bed and room gets very cold, so I sometimes warm up the bed (to spare the hours of shivering and essentially warming up bed with my own body heat), can only sleep when the room is very cold (so the air is fresh and cool), otherwise border of suffocating and no sleep all night.

It sure does seems strange to average folk but you do what you must to keep warm I suppose.

Valkia looks like the sort of person who would do that.

Then again I don't know what the other members of staff look like apart from those on the "Have you seen this funny looking bunch" picture on Facebook.
