A Japanese video game walkthrough listing sleeping pills as one of their recommended methods to get high scores in Pokémon Sleep has gone viral on Japanese Twitter recently. The mention of sleeping aid has since been deleted from the site.

    What fire hazard? All bedding made in most parts of the world made in the last 50 years or so are made of very fire-retardant materials. It’s actually really hard to set a bed on fire these days.

      You can literally just Google “phone in bed fire” and find article after article after article about it.

      With cigarettes, sure. With an overheated lithium-ion battery? Not really

        Nah, you can take a blowtorch to a modern mattress and you’ll burn a hole through it, but it won’t catch fire and spread at all.

        In fact, that’s literally how they test the flame retardant abilities of a mattress; it has to withstand at least 70 seconds of a blowtorch from a foot away. If the fire spreads, it’s a fail. That’s how most mattresses are tested under the 16 CFR 1640 standard.
