Scott Alexander (slatestarcodex) provided a meta-study and also described how reducing CO2 in his cottage reduced headaches, fatigue, and poor sleep: https://slatestarcodex.com/2018/08/23/carbon-dioxide-an-open...

After reading this, I got a Netatmo CO2 monitor like Scott and Gwern. I found that CO2 peaked in my bedroom at around 1500 PPM at 6 AM with the door closed and that I could keep it under 500 PPM with the door open or a window open.

Scott Alexander also suggests getting around 10 succulents, if you don't want to open a door or a window.

Edit: Scott Alexander also published these survey results from other people who experimented with reducing CO2 in their homes: https://slatestarcodex.com/2018/10/04/nighttime-ventilation-...




How big should these 10 succulents be?
