PROBLEM: In winter, many hotel rooms are heated with very dry air, creating respiratory problems, static electricity and skin that feels like it's about to flake apart, like mica.
SOLUTION: C.T. Kitt of Charlottesville suggests taking a bath before going to bed, but don't empty the bathtub until morning: The water will humidify the air as it cools. As an added bonus, the guests in the room below won't hear the gurgling of water rushing out of the drain as they lie in bed. Until the next morning, at least.
