Oddly, almost the exact opposite of reality. In one of Andy McNab's books, he commented that the SNCOs in the SAS, who'd had much experience of many young people getting damaged in various ways, generally became safety conscious and OCDish about their own kids.

Probably not; there are odours in some cases, not in others,. A CO leak will also deplete the oxygen level in the room. A low level will send you to sleep and kill you over some hours. It also distorts your perception and makes you lethargic.
They maybe are. They just take more risks because unlike you they know how to have fun.
They're biassed.
Your point being?
If I felt like that I'd do something about it.
The casualty rate of carbon monoxide poisoning and oxygen starvation suggests otherwise. The first thing to go is making rational decisions about risks although that won't make much difference in your case.
On balance I don't think you should get a CO monitor.
What stupid people do is of no concern to me. If I smell anything odd coming from the boiler, I'd do something about it.
even when you are asleep?
It would have leaked a little before I go to bed. And sleep doesn't stop me smelling things, I wake up when the bloody cat crap in the litter tray.
So why doesnt; everyone that feels like that ?
Have you ever fallen asleep ?
Stupidity? Imagine running a generator inside your house.
I tend to do that once a night.
