Apple has issued a warning for people who charge their phones while sleeping, advising them not to sleep next to their devices while it is charging.

According to the tech giant, this habit could cause discomfort and injury.

The company also asked customers to "use common sense" to avoid situations where their skin is in direct contact with the device or a charger.

What did the advisory say?

"Don't sleep on a device, power adapter, or wireless charger, or place them under a blanket, pillow, or your body, when it’s connected to a power source. Keep your phone, the power adapter, and any wireless charger in a well-ventilated area when in use or charging," the advisory reads.

The advisory also asked users to take special care if they have a physical condition that affects their ability to detect heat against the body.

Other things to keep in mind

Moreover, the company asked its users to avoid using third-party chargers that may not provide the right amount of voltage safely to charge the phones. It also advised them to avoid using damaged cables that could be dangerous to use for charging.

In addition, users should not use the power adapter in wet locations, such as near a sink, bathtub, or shower stall, and don’t connect or disconnect the power adapter with wet hands.
