Sleeping with the fan on

[hawkeye3210]

I sleep with the fan on every night.

I always sleep with the fan on, unless it's too chilly.  I keep a fan on me during the day, too.  With my asthma, the fan is a great help for keeping a flow in the air.

I spent some time in South Korea. The people I worked with there were just shocked and very concerned that I slept with fan on. There were a series of deaths, that were attributed to the fan being on, while people slept. Most notably was a group of kindergartners on their first overnight camping experience. These "fan death" people were basically in a small room with no a/c and had turned on the fan to keep cool. The fan somehow (I haven't figure this part out yet.) suck all the oxygen out of the room suffocating the people who were sleeping there.


I sleep with fan for two reasons. 1) To keep cool 2)To help suppress the tinnitus in my right ear as the noise from the fan helps that.

I can sleep with a fan on...but if it's hitting me directly I will usually get sick and catch a cold.

I can't sleep without a fan.

No matter what time of year, i must have the fan on. I cannot have total silence. I have tinnitus and hearing the noise my ears make, drives me nuts. Need a fan to drown it out.

LOL my husband has to have a fan on even in the winter. Says he can't sleep without it. So I wear flannals and tshirts to bed. Easy compromise.

I sleep with my air conditioning on because I can't stand being hot but I can't sleep without a comforter, haha. I can't sleep with the fan because I HATE the feeling of air blowing on me (I guess that rules out ever riding in a convertible  ).

I almost always sleep with a fan on. Usually it's just my ceiling fan (it makes a little noise depending on the setting). I have another fan that's a combination heater that I'll use during winter if my room gets too cold. It makes some noise that's a bit louder than I'd like (which it didn't make until maybe a year after I got it) but one summer I would turn it on the fan every night and I got so used to the noise that if I tried to sleep without turning it on I just couldn't. I also used it because it would help block other noise in the house that would wake me up. I don't use it much anymore, but probably will when it starts getting really cold.

I love sleeping with the fan on if it is hot and humid.  I cannot sleep if it is too hot and especially if it is humid.

There is no fan in my bedroom. I have my bedroom window open so no need for a fan. It’s already cool enough. I never experience those problems at night you described. As for the summer heat at night, it’s nice to have a fan in the room.

I sleep with whatever makes my hubby happy, which means that sometimes I sleep with socks and a sweat suit in the fall and winter, and much less clothing in Summer.

I have a clip-on fan on my headboard. I use it occasionally, even in winter.
