Question: how long should you wait to sleep in a room after it's been painted?
Answer: It is safer to wait about 24 hours for the paint to dry and the fumes to go out of the room before sleeping in your freshly painted room if you're using them. Not waiting long enough for the paint to dry might cause your children headache, nausea, or sinus discomfort. Now, on to low- or non-VOC paints.
