Do any of you have to sleep with a fan by your bed?!?

In GA, an overhead fan is very appreciated in the warm summer months

When I was in Michigan for the summer (with cooler temps/less humidity) 2 years ago, a pillar fan moved the air around enough to help me sleep.

@PamfromTx were you referring mainly to moving air or white noise while you sleep?

 

[MarciKS]

I sleep with one by the bed for the white noise.

 

[dobielvr]

Yep.
Turned the ceiling fan on last night. Getting up to 3 digits around here.

Our last house I did in the hot summer months since we had no AC. Here we do.

I need air from a fan blowing on my face. I don't know why. Doctor gave up trying to figure me out. (Just kidding about the doctor). When I was being recovered from my last surgery... the recovery nurse told me that I was a very difficult patient; I kept pulling the oxygen mask off my face. She then brought a fan and put it by my side. LOL I was in heaven.

I dont have a fan as such but I can’t stand stuffiness so I always have a window open a tiny bit unless the winds blowing a gale or it’s very cold .
I have roller shutter (s). on my bedroom window so it makes it possible to leave the window and shutter open a tiny bit for air circulation

Ceiling fans blowing on me at night drive me nuts
I like the AC at 68 at night but not blowing on my head
And then I get under the covers to get warm and cozy...go figure

On summer evenings after the sun goes down I use a large fan as an exhaust fan to pull cooler air in through every open window in the house. When I go to sleep I have a fan blow night air into the bedroom.

 

[Ruthanne]

I used to sleep with a fan on all year for white noise and would turn it backwards in the winter because the air was so cold. I now put the fan on at night to sleep when it's too warm in my bedroom but other times I put my sound machine on with waves crashing to put me to sleep.

 

[Giantsfan1954]

Not me personally, I’m always cold, thanks thyroid but my daughter does year round.
Poor son in law is always saying he’s surprised there isn’t frost on his mustache in the winter!

 

[drifter]

Yes, I sleep with a fan near my bed.

 

[Ruth n Jersey]

We have central ac but because the hubby likes it so darn hot I sleep in my daughters old room with a window ac.
I do the same in the winter so I can have a window open. I've gotten up in the morning with flakes of snow on the sill.
Having the ac in the window helps provide white noise as well.
I have a sound machine for times when I don't have the ac on or in the winter, sometimes I use my Kindle for soothing sounds.

 

[jujube]

I have a fan on the dresser, pointed at me or the ceiling fan on. I have to have moving air to sleep...and the sound helps, too.

 

[Gaer]

no, open window.

Yup

We've got wunna these



We move it into whatever room we want

Mostly the bedroom
Windows wide open
Love it

 

[Jules]

It seems that lots of people use a fan. A friend even travels with one.

For me it’s the window open and I listen to podcasts of soothing noises - waves, rain, etc.

 

[Murrmurr]

I just keep the window open, but I do turn on a fan when little Collin is here. The noise relaxes him and he goes to sleep in just a few minutes.

 

[Tish]

I do, but during the cooler months I have, it faced away from me.

 

[terry123]

My mother and dad always slept with a fan going also. My brother does too. I like a ceiling fan going on low even with the a/c going.

ms gamboolgal and I have always used Fan(s). It is hot and humid in East Texas as it was everywhere else we lived over the 43 years I worked in the Oilfields. the only place it was not humid was in West Texas but that was only for about 6 years or so, but it did get hot out West.

In addition to Central Air Conditioning, we have Ceiling Fans in every room of our house. We have 2 Oscillating Fans in our Bedroom.

Hell, we even have a Ceiling Fan in our Master Bathroom. I use it but ms gamboolgal turns it off...

We do like to have the air moving. We do keep the house warmer due to the moving air but we still use and appreciate the Air Con here in the hot humid Houston area.

And the noise of the Fan(s) does probably help with sleeping. Especially with the evil Tinnitus I have had for the last 20 some odd years.

It would be tough to give up Central Air and rely only on Fans.

gambooman...

 

[horseless carriage]

Sleeping with a fan beside the bed can be difficult, especially if you're married. I find that an autograph is the best way to get rid of them.

 

[timoc]

I'd just like Fan from the chip-shop to snuggle up with, she's really cool.
