Do you sleep with your phone charging in your bed ? We highly recommend not to ! Your cord is not made to be insulated by pillows, blankets etc.. If your cord o...r phone is covered it can over heat causing a fire in your bed. All power cords including extension cords and charging cords should not have things placed over top of them. Extension cords that are under rugs can create the same result as the cord can not dissipate the heat the power produces. See more
