The Forecast for Apartment 12: 0% Humidity
Besides the ice and killer static electricity, the other bad part about winter is that requires using the heat. This, in turn, quickly sucks all the humidity out of our apartment like some sort of giant desiccator. My sleeping experience is greatly impacted by this phenomenon, in that I often wake up a ridiculous number of times per night either deathly thirsty or with a sore throat.
The easy solution to this problem is to somehow obtain a humidifier, preferably for free via download from the internet, but barring that by purchasing one at Target. Does anyone currently use a humidifier to hydrate their apartment that they'd like to recommend/disrecommend?

Supposedly, the ones that just blow cold water into the air ("cool-mist") aren't so good because bacteria and mold grow in the cold water. Ideally you should get one that heats the water before it puts it into the air. At least that's the kind we had in my house when I was a kid and had bad allergies to mold and stuff.

Hmm. I heard the opposite, that the ones that heat the water foster bad things. We use a plain water and air thing that works well.
