Air humidifier

[Username]

Do any of you use an air humidifier?

My room is getting cold easily. If I turn on the radiator it's warm enough but air is becoming dry very quickly. The next day I'm unable to breath thorough my nose or my throat hurts. If I open the window it's too cold again

I thought that getting small air humidifier  would be a good idea. Some of them are even USB charged. I am be able to put it close to my head.

How much milliliters per hour do I need? Is 25 ml/h enough?

@Username Sounds like to me you need to get the room properly insulated to fix the root cause.

@Red-White-Light It's not that bad. My room is rather small but it has a large widow. The issue is that I can't turn on radiator (even low level) because air becomes dry.

I would like to do some kriya yoga or breathing exercises before sleep but it's too cold. It's not a problem to sleep in a cold room.

I like to use one occasionally, it's a nice investment. You can diffuse essential oil throughout the night to help you sleep better. DOesn't have to be large, a small device to put on your bedside table is enough and they have a timer that switches them off after couple hours.

Hey I also live in a small apartment in Denmark - air is very humid all the time and it is cold. I like to stay conservative with the radiator heating and try to enjoy my room cold. Sometimes I get cold feet and hands, when behind a desk, but I learned to work around it (walk around, different sitting position, "using the mind to warm up") and build resistance (the cold is your friend as Wim Hof would say). I can enjoy hot soups and teas that much more thanks to the cold, same with warm blankets   Burning candles (I'd get beeswax) or diffusing essential oils can also make you feel warm

@Username But the room is cold because of heat loss. I turned the radiator off in my room because it doesn't get cold.

@Red-White-Light I used to have radiator in my room always off. It's not just about temperature. I can't open my window to get some fresh, moist air because of pollution. If I turn on the heater for just 5 minutes it hurts my nose.

@Username What do you mean pollution?

@Red-White-Light There are still many coal stoves used for heating in my area.

I just got my humidifier  I bought a medium size instead portable one, it was used/refurbished so I paid just 10 bucks. The difference in air humidity is very noticeable.

@Michael569 What kind of oil would you recommend?

I'm not expert in this by any means but for me the combination of lemongrass and grapefruit felt very uplifting and inspiring. At night something like lavender or sandalwood, maybe pine would be nice
