Here's the detailed explanation of why you shouldn't go to sleep while burning a candle:
Safety Risks Fire hazard: Candles can ignite nearby flammable materials, such as curtains, bedding, or furniture, especially if they're placed too close or left unattended.

Only issue is that it’s a little slow but I’m happy to wait...
Read moreI travel a lot and try to find an independent coffee shop for a first stop in the morning . I usually try to order a breakfast sandwich and a cappuccino. Sometimes, on a rare occasion, the shop will get it right. Onyx coffee lab in Bentonville AR or Java Moose in Grand Marais MN are two that are great.
