Is it harmful to sleep with your electric radiator on?

Is it harmful to sleep with your electric radiator on?

If your radiator is securely wall-mounted and has no obstructions nearby (such as curtains or clothes), it is generally fine to leave it on overnight.

We do not recommend drying clothes directly on an electric radiator. Clothes can block airflow and ventilation, which may cause overheating and reduce performance. For safety, use a dedicated clothes drying rack or a clothesline instead.
