...and I can’t sleep WITH the fan on. Discuss
tempes156
How is this a problem? It's everyone else that's weird.
FubarSnafu
Don’t care how cold or hot that fan runs 24/7.. ever since I was five. 47 now. Silence is torture.
SpringToMyWinter
Dammit Facebook has been leaking so much more lately.
msdss
Even when it's cold outside I love to have the fan on.
CurtGoBang
Right there with ya, OP. Impossible for me to sleep without a fan on. My body needs to be warm but I must have airflow to the face.
DoukanGauge
Do not move to south korea then. You will be very unhappy with their fan death beliefs
Systeria
Unless im dying from heat, i hate artificial wind
Crazytrain77
Yep. I also have one of those "sounds of nature" things. Thunder and rain works for me.
cmbeal317
I too need my fan on all year round. I can't sleep if I'm hot.
oohmsbennett
SO's fan always on, me always under sixty layers of blankets, leeching warmth, still cold.
SinSingularity
This is exactly how I sleep, fan on at the foot of my bed blowing over me in ANY season... unless it is balls shrinking cold out.. Then not!
NordicusMaximus
Same here. My ears ring nonstop for the past 27 years, I go insane if without a fan. Take one on vacations, and a battery one for camping.
cre8majic
Mine too, white noise is the best
xt1031
Absolutely. Drives my girlfriend nuts
letstalkabouthis
Same here...for the last 20 years. Even my wife had to get used to it. Now she has the same problem lol
RomeoEightJuliet
Fan and a white noise machine. Was a sailor once upon a time and sleeping on ships forever ruined any possibility of sleeping in silence.
TiredOldBroad
I use the fan in the winter because the sound helps me sleep and, since I’m post-menopausal, it helps with the hot flashes.
jmulderr
Frankly, I can sleep just fine whether or not your fan is on.
pruner
theheebs25
Good one, Dad.
Tommyboyaroundthebend
notthatdrunk
I personally like it on, it gets stuffy under their bed without it on.
billingsworthswagamuffin
That’s why you hide in the closet, much better circulation.
ThisMahSwamp

I can’t sleep unless the petite Asian girl is standing nude beside the bed fanning me with her silk scarf.
Sauroctonus
What colour scarf?
thebridgejumper
ME WANT. WHERE FIND?
Vdubchandler
Its all fun and games till you wake up with a sore throat from ghost blowjobs!
ElbowDeepInAFurry
But the ghost haunting me is a girl? Does that mean it isn't drool on my face?
Vdubchandler
Ecto plasm ????
ElbowDeepInAFurry
Guess she had a boo-gasm... that was a bad joke
eagle193
I need moving air.
Halvaard
I just live in Florida, the air here is like warm soup.
eagle193
Likewise, unless there's A/C
apathie
Asthmatic and same.
Jawesome19
I used to have this commercial grade giant metal ceiling fan in my bedroom cause I'm a contractor and I got a great deal, anyways...
Jawesome19
I pump that thing up to max speed at night every night before I hop in bed, it was like a wind tunnel but I loved it until I...
Jawesome19
Was changing my shirt one morning and lifted my arms up over my head in the wrong spot and that thing destroyed my hand, huge cut
MMAgCh
So you're not a fan any more, I take it?
KatetDeFibonacci
I can't sleep with my clothes on. It gets real awkward in airports and on road trips.
TherealNotSid
I don't think I've ever turned mine off
G0alden3y3
Got tinnitus, fan needed.
heroesandpyramids
Yep. I think I could sleep without it if I tried but I don't want to try
Mysnackpack
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing
marriedtoanxiety
That's the truth, without it I wouldn't be able to sleep b/c of the bitch tinnitus is.
RickMorty

jaxgal
Summer makes sense. Dead ass of winter is the weird thing.
WyrdDarcnyzz
If you point it up at an angle, it circulates the warm air up top into the rest of the room.
pinkgurl85
I meant winter !!
jaxgal
Oh good!
OtterlyMagnificent
Ever been to Arizona? Dead-ass winter is still hot.
jaxgal
Good point!
theDoctor131
I was gonna say, most people like it cool in the summer. :p
pairoweenis33
Mine is for sure for the sound
QueenCousland
I have a white noise machine for that.
scrubdub
I thought i was the only one.
breakingcode
I like moving air but tons of white noise, prerecorded AC/Dryer/Car engines etc.. online. My fav to put me out is looped Enterprise engines.
chocoooouuuuh
Me too, it relaxes my mind and help me to not to think
YesThisIsJesus

MMAgCh
Personally I prefer hair dryers and vacuum cleaners (I have hours and hours of MP3s of the stuff), but that sort of noise is bliss for sure.
Drosera
We use mynoise.net as a noise maker for my daughters. You might find it interesting.
Sordiy
Amazing
leroywashere
Yep. Can't sleep without ambient noise.
jlist
There are probably phone apps for that. There are for white noise/etc
Lumpnut
Me too. Tinnitus is a bitch.
RandomTurd
This right fucking here
SpecialBeamCanon
RidinReactionCreator
Mine for sound and air movement
f00f1ghter
I got rid of the fan and now use brown noise on an echo dot. Loving it
tangybreath
Same. My dog sleeps in my room and she can get restless at night. She's also blind so she bumps into shit. The fan is a godsend
Manateechica
Me too. However I couldn't have it on in winter so I found an app that makes the sound. There are a bunch out there
Shirleybananas88
Same here, sound mostly but I do enjoy the air circulation too.
KaiHerrera
Unless you hear music coming from the white noise, then you are in trouble lol
chocoooouuuuh
Why?
MasterPrime
Fans generate what's known as 'pink noise' which is random noise with equal energy per octave with more low frequency components >>
MuttonLettuceTomatoSandwich
This is interesting! I've downloaded and purchased white noise makers before and its never the same as having a fan on.....thanks!
MasterPrime
>> While both white and pink are good for falling asleep, pink noise helps you stay asleep longer as well as helps your memory.
aelfer
"Pink" noise, lmao, that sounds made up. Anyqay, I can´t sleep when there is noise, a mouse farting will wake me up. Noisy fan? Are you mad?
JackieTreehornProductions
Brown noise beats them both imo
SwampWaffle
MrMagoobar
What if your fan doesn’t spin properly? I have trouble falling asleep with it on.
SerenePrincess013
I'd suggest getting a new fan, then. Not trying to be sarcastic, man. But if you're like me and need the noise, it's worth the investment.
Rusticshine
they are only like $16 new at wal-mart right now
Jawesome19
Huh, And now I'm smarter
LeadByBadExample
Nah, you just know more.
TheRicM
What else generates pink noise? Thx for the info btw!
Mimsey
iirc, this benefit only exists if there's background noise that would otherwise disturb you. The pink noise covers it up. Silence is best.
Nyhms
this, this exact thing, Yes.
MasterPrime
True. But for the silent sleepers having pink noise once they're asleep facilitates a deeper sleep and still helps with memory.
pilotperson
Is it silent if I can hear ringing in my ears, though?
YharnamsFinest
Yeah that’s why I have my fan on all year, concerts when young ruined my ears apparently
puppetute
Damn you tinnitus. you are a cruel mistress. https://imgur.com/PwYgXH0
pilotperson
Actually, I don’t have tinnitus...calling it a ringing was probably misleading. It’s just not absolute silence. I’m probably just not used
jane053425
False, silence is the worst. I can not sleep it's silent. It makes me nervous
Mimsey
It can take time to adapt, but I recall a study that found true silence had the least disrupted sleep. City noises were the most.
TheBestRussian
That makes no sense. Humans slept in caves. You’d be hearing crickets and water dripping and fire cracking all night long.
TheBestRussian
You’d think evolutionarily that’s what would be best.
peachesforme
maybe the most well off got to be in more secure deeper caves. less noise. they were the only ones who got silence
3timer
Fan on next to my bed all year long
HaveAnUpboat
Used to sleep next to an air vent as a baby. Life long fan sleeper
LickMyNutsAndCherryIceCream
I can hear my own thoughts and blood without a fan. Cannot sleep without for the last 16 years.
InsanityCrab
Tinnitus ensures I need background noise when I lay on my right side so fans are pretty good for that.
BandannaNinja
I started using one in the military due to a roommate that snored like a bear raping a chainsaw. Used one ever since.
d1d1thurt
Why? Why must I picture everything said? Made me lol though.
Player3hasArrived
I thought I was the only one...
pc404
I sleep with ear plugs on, it's been that way for 10 years. I am the lightest sleeper ever. Ear plugs in and i can hear a pin hit the floor.
memejunky101
DreadPierateRoberts
Work in data center all I hear is fans all day. No want fans
fitlex
Yeah mine just wore out, squealed like a banshee. New one isn't as good as the old one. Different sound.
StopstalkingmePawan
This is me. I'm a hot sleeper and stress sleep. Only 96lbs and I sweat and radiate heat like crazy! That fan must be on me all year.
OtterlyMagnificent
I'm a hot sleeper, and I live in Arizona, with parents who think 90F is acceptable for summer indoor temperatures. I can't sleep in that. 1/
OtterlyMagnificent
and I've recently re-added ice-packs to my sleeping routine...because it's too fucking hot to sleep.
StopstalkingmePawan
I wouldn't be able to sleep. I need like 70 or below with a fan.
OtterlyMagnificent
Exactly. And that is why ice-packs have become part of my bedspread.
Sutashi
Oh and if the fan breaks in the winter good luck finding a new one.
anugg
Amazon.
Sutashi
Doesn't help for that night though.
anugg
White noise apps on your phone will do in a pinch. It's what I use when I travel.
ShinksAvoHazaar
Do you not subscribe to the back up fan?
RaynWisp
... or Amazon, you can subscribe to Amazon...
Sutashi
I do but I've had bad luck where both broke the same day.
CaptainMauin
I did, but the replacement was too quiet/weak. I still couldn't sleep with it and wound up fixing the original.
neddyhill
There are aps for this. eg: For when you're travelling and the place doesn't have a fan. Not as good obviously but decent in the short term.
Sutashi
I actually travel with a small fan.
