painting a room..how long to wait?

my husband started painting our bedroom on saturday, and we've been touching up the room ever since..even today there was more paint that had to go on the walls (lots of clean up from the previous paint job)...it still smells like paint down there but its not necessarily overwhelming...there's no windows so we can't open those. how long do you think i should wait to sleep in it? do you think its okay now?

As tempting as it is do not put fans in the room- it will take longer for the paint to "cure". It doesn't matter when the paint dries; you shouldn't smell fumes anymore and then you should be safe to sleep in your room.
