Sleeping with the heater on increases the levels of carbon monoxide in the room above the safe level. People with heart disease may get chest pain, while smokers with heart disease are particularly at risk, so are young children and elderly.
The risk of asphyxia (sleep death) is high when using gas heaters. The excessive carbon monoxide in the room chokes the supply of blood to the brain, which can lead to haemorrhage and eventually death.
Keeping heaters on during the entire night leads to oxygen deficiency in the atmosphere leading to suffocation and subsequently death.
The comforting heaters can also lead to dry skin and irritation in the eyes. In case of dry eyes, it can also lead to conjunctivitis. Dry skin can lead to itchiness, redness and allergy.
To combat this problem, if you are using a heater in your room, you can keep a mug full of water near to it, to maintain the moisture in the room.

People who have heart diseases, asthma or are old should be very cautious about using the room heaters.
