The study was carried out over a week in a standard housing, equipped with sensors that were measuring CO2, humidity and temperature levels in real time.
The results were clear: sleeping with the door closed caused a CO2 accumulation up to four times faster. Even with average rest periods of about 8 hours and 50 minutes, concentrations often exceeded the recommended levels. Already on nights when the door remained open the values were significantly lower.
High CO2 levels are associated with the aggravation of respiratory diseases, such as the asmaincreasing the risk of allergiesdisorders of I am and even the commitment of cognitive functions.
