Is it harmful to us to sleep in a painted room?how long should we wait to sleep there?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most modern paints are latex based and do not produce toxic fumes. If this is what was used you have no need to sleep elsewhere. Anyone who is sensitive to odors/environmental irritants may be bothered to a minor degree, but you don't have the same cautions that apply to oil based coatings.
