Can you get a disease from sleeping with your hair wet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: How wet? Not a food idea. May get a cold or some respiratory infection, perhaps other. Just doesn't feel like a common sense thing to do. Check with grandma, who has a lot of common sense, presuming she is a good person wh has lived many years -:).
