Hi There,

I have an interesting habit. I always put my fan on at night when I go to bed. It could be freezing outside but I still always put it on. I just can't seem to get to sleep without it. Even when I go away on vacations I bring it with me. It drives my girlfriend crazy. I think I must need the noise of the fan or something which kind of lulls me to sleep. What about you? Do you use a fan when you sleep?

Yes I too keep a fan on at night. I find that it is soothing and best of all it covers any noise the is out side especially barking dogs. It's called white noise.I can do with out one though when I'm not at home. I even turn the fan on when I want to take a nap during the day.

Hi,

I think it is the covering of other noises that makes me like it so much!

cheers,

Yes! I can't sleep without it and all my kids use them too. My bedroom window is close to a busy street and the soft humming of the fan is just enough to cover up some of the noise. I also thing the soft breeze is comforting too as I grew up in an area where the wind would constantly blow. I can't sleep without one. My oldest daughter actually travels with one too! LOL

Dear friend,
I mostly use fan and even if I sleep in Air conditioned rooms I find more better in rooms with fans. But during winter if it is too cold I would switch off the fan and during summer a fan is must and that too it will be put in the fullest speed. But while going for sleep if I do not have any fever I do always switch on during the night if I feel so cool I would switch it off. It is a habit during summer for me that I cannot sleep without fans and in winter if I feel hot I could not sleep without fan. cool

Hi,

I think you are right. It is very habit forming.

Yes, golfproo, I always use a fan when sleeping. It is not even possible for me to sleep if I do not have a fan. When I travel, I carry a small fan with me so that I can get a good night's sleep.


myLot reputation of 99/100. golfproo (1614)   ranked 15 out of 30,392 in life  7 months ago

Hi Transdisc,

I do the same thing. It drives my girlfriend crazy. The fan I bring is not small though it is really big. She thinks it is corny when I bring it through a hotel lobby.:)

cheers,


myLot reputation of 97/100. deebomb (7749)   ranked 477 out of 30,392 in life  7 months ago

you can get a small 12 inch fan at Walmart that gives a good breeze anf makes a lot of noise. That would be easier to travel with too.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Transdisc (18618)   ranked 452 out of 30,392 in life  7 months ago

I used to carry a rather large, old, all metal, Hunter fan with me wherever I went. It was at least 40 years old and weighed a ton. Now, I have a small, lightweight metal fan that I got from Wally World. It's moves a lot of air and makes plenty of noise. I think that a metal fan makes more noise than a plastic one. I paid about eight bucks for it.

I keep the exhaust fan in th bathroom on and I have a humidifier with no water. It is the noise I think! If I don't have these on, it is too quiet!

Yes. My husband and I use a fan when we sleep. We have an oscillating fan and a ceiling fan to use. We hardly ever have to turn the ceiling fan on though. We have to have the fan on when we sleep though because it will get humid in our room sometimes with the door shut. We also like for the room to be cool so we can sleep better.


myLot reputation of 99/100. golfproo (1614)   ranked 15 out of 30,392 in life  7 months ago

Hi,

I just can't sleep when it is hot. I have the AC and the fan on during the summer.

cheers,

We used to sleep with a fan but it broke and we still have not replaced it. I miss it, I really love sleeping with a fan on. I love how cool the room gets and being able to snuggle under my down comforter. Now I've just been putting the AC down to 70 degrees before I got to sleep at night. I'll need to make sure I put a fan on my list for the next time I run out into town.

Not normally, unless I am somewhere without A/C. I think they tend to dry out the room, and I am very uncomfortable sleeping when it's dry. But, I'm more uncomfortable sleeping when it's hot, so if it's hot enough, I'll use one.

Not me but I could suggest that you need a white noise machine
to help you sleep, you could use tapes of the wind, or the
ocean, any soothing montonous sound that would lull you
to sleep. only time I ever use a fan is if my rooms just too
too hot then only for awhile as the fans noise would drive
'me bananas for sure.

It does drive my girlfriend crazy!
