Debating about the clothes dryer, to open up and remove clothing as it dries or not?

My husband says I am wasting the hot air in the dryer, letting escape and having to heat up again (but I very quickly remove dry clothes). I think by taking out the dry clothes I will free up space and air for the damp clothes to dry more quickly! Who is right?
 
I have done what you're doing all my life. Even though your husband is right....some clothes can be over dried. It can ruin the elastic in panties, bras and other clothing that might have elastic in them. But you are also correct in freeing up space....a shirt dries much quicker than a pair of jeans.
 
I have to agree with your husband, sorry. If there are too many items in the dryer, yes it will take longer to dry and theoretically you have the right idea. But truthfully the best thing to do would be wash slightly smaller loads to give more space in the dryer.
It does waste energy in the end to stop and start. And wastes your energy running back and forth too.
