The headline is incomplete—“sleeping with…” could refer to a fan, pet, socks, a phone, wet hair, or something else.
For example, if it says “sleeping with a fan on,” the claim is usually exaggerated: fans are generally safe, although they can dry the eyes/throat or circulate dust and allergens in susceptible people.

If it says “sleeping with a pet,” the main concerns are disrupted sleep, allergies, and exposure to fleas/ticks or other germs; however, it isn’t inherently dangerous for everyone.

Send me the word(s) after “sleeping with…” or the full post, and I’ll fact-check the claim.
