No, you should never attempt to sleep or rest after experiencing carbon monoxide exposure until you have been thoroughly evaluated by medical professionals and your home has been declared completely safe by emergency responders or utility technicians. Carbon monoxide poisoning causes extreme drowsiness, fatigue, confusion, and dizziness; falling asleep while CO remains in your bloodstream or while you are still inside a contaminated home can lead to unconsciousness and fatal poisoning. You can troubleshoot emergency safety by remaining awake and alert in fresh air outdoors. You can verify that your safety evaluation is correct when seeking immediate medical evaluation at an emergency room, receiving oxygen therapy if needed, and ensuring your home is fully ventilated before returning guarantees your health and safety.
