This of course seems a bit weird as many of us have the habit of covering our heads while sleeping. But!! This is a very bad habit and one of the common ways to damage your brain. This prevents the body from inhaling pure oxygen while sleeping. Instead of oxygen you inhale more carbon dioxide because that too is being trapped within the sheet.
