Sleeping in the same room as an incubator?

[Agathe]

I have a question that might be a little stupid... We're getting ready to hatch some eggs from our chickens. We only have one room where the temperature is fairly stable and it happens to be my bedroom. It isn't a large room so I assume the temperature will increase by me sleeping there at night, but at the same time I guess the temperature should naturally drop at night as well. Maybe it will just even out. In addition I assume that the humidity of the room will also be affected. So the question is, should I find somewhere else to sleep for 21 days (given I can at all sleep there with the noise) or won't it make much of a difference? I have Brinsea Maxi Eco II in case it matters. We used the same room and same machine last year with good success and I don't want to risk messing anything up this year. Last year I didn't sleep there. I didn't add any water to the machine until I stopped turning and it seemed to work well, though I know there are various opinions on how to do it.

As long as you're not messing with the thermostat, sleeping in there should be just fine. Not sure how much noise it will give off and if you can sleep through it perhaps cycling on/off - but I wouldn't hesitate to use the room.

Simply you sleeping in the room isn't going to make enough of a difference to affect the incubator. The problem is when the bator is by a window, and door, or a room with noticeable temperature swings. Just leave the thermostat the same, and you should be fine.

Funny I read this now...
I slept in the spare room in our home, in the floor, with my incubator LAST NIGHT. Honestly, not much sleep. Mostly chirping...
