Is Strong Bleach Smell Best Avoided While Sleeping?

Hi. I have just spilled bleach on my carpet and I have opened the window for ventilation. It smells pretty strong and the spillage is in my bedroom and I am unsure whether it will be safe to sleep in my bed tonight. Is it okay if I leave the window open?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
Yes, you can leave your windows open and let the bleach dry.
And no harm in sleeping in that room. If you find it too smelly, than sleep in other room for 1-2 nights.
Medically it will not harm you. But subjectively if you think that this can spoil my sleep than it is better to sleep in other room.
I find this answer helpful
