In fact, when you sleep with the heater on, it absorbs the humidity of the room and makes the air dry. Because of this, you may have problems like dry throat, dryness in the skin, irritation in the eyes, headache and even difficulty in breathing. But not to worry – a small home remedy can eliminate all these problems. All you have to do is keep a bowl filled with water in your room.
How is moisture maintained with water?

If you keep a bowl of water in front of the heater, steam will continuously come out from that water, due to which the moisture balance in the air of the room will be maintained. This will keep your room comfortable and breathable. This method is especially beneficial for children, elderly and asthma or allergy patients.
