I have a few questions regarding the method and how it's best to execute properly.
Firstly, is it a good idea to smoke a pack of cigarettes prior entering the space where CO will accumulate? Smokers have more carboxyhemoglobin in their blood so I assume when your baseline blood carboxyhemoglobin is higher than normal (relative to nonsmokers) the effects of CO poisoning will be more dramatic. The same goes if you consume a lot of alcohol, at least to a point of getting relatively drunk. A lot of people who die by accidental CO poisoning in their homes are drunk and simply fall asleep without realizing what's happening. I have two examples from my surroundings where one event ended up with fatalities and the other event ended up with an almost fatal outcome had there not been someone who rescued the people who were already in deep sleep. Both of the cases were due to faulty gas heaters and in both cases the victims were very drunk (they were drinking till they felt dizziness and went to bed for sleep).
If I decide to drink alcohol to knock myself out, will there be a need to also take some sedatives? Assuming that drinking to a point of getting very drunk and then entering the environment where CO will accumulate, isn't it enough to feel dizzy and fall asleep relatively quickly and peacefully? What role does sedatives bring in that scenario? And I'm not talking about benzos, just the most effective OTC solutions there is.
Also, I have a question about ambient temperature. The room I'm going to do this is about 6 cubic meters in volume. The chimney starter holds a maximum of 2.5 kg charcoal and I'm going to use all of that. How much should I expect the ambient temperature to raise in that scenario? I can wait a bit till the coals cool down a bit and become less glowing, but waiting for too long is not a good idea since the coals will degrade in that case.
I would do this even today but it's too hot and practically infeasible to pull off for about another month or two. Waiting for ambient temperature to go down to a point where it gets a bit cold at night. Last time I attempted this method in my bathroom was in late winter / early spring and it was still quite cold at night, although the temperature inside the bathroom got really warm so I imagine unless the ambient temperature becomes a little cold at night, I won't be able to execute it without disrupting the comfortability and peacefulness of the method, so I'm going to do this in no earlier than mid September if the temperature gets comfortable (I hope so). Otherwise, I might need to wait till early / mid October if the weather doesn't go downhill by then.
