Do you require a use of a fan to sleep?

Yes, the wrong kind of hum can really spoil the sleep. Glad to hear that you got things straightened out. Pleasant dreams.

A light hum is good. Enough to be a soothing noise but not enough to be annoying and defeat the entire purpose of the situation. Thank you for your response. It was much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

My fan hums but the frequency it hums irritates instead of soothes me. the noise is due to the fan being unbalanced so I put something under the uneven side and all is well. Yep, I too like a fan on. What about you MyLotters?

Yes, fresh air is great. Although there are times around here where the heat is really unbearable. Therefore the air has to be put on to be able to be comfortable. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

I concur. I would rather have a fan going than to have AC.

A race track, I can only imagine how that would sound like. I think that would drive me insane really quickly. Given how loud those cars can get, its a problem. Of course, I live near an airport, so the planes taking off in the middle of the night is a problem and another reason why I have a fan on. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

Agreed. But I need the fan otherwise I start feeling claustrophobic in my own room.

Yes, I have gotten my share of odd looks or amused expression when I mention that I have to sleep with a fan in the winter. Still it helps me sleep. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

Yes indeed. The hot weather kind of mandates some relief. Otherwise, you're just going to be discomforted. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

I know how you feel. Same here...

Yes, its annoying to be sweaty in the middle of the night. Especially when it drips in my eyes and it burns waking me up. So that's not fun times. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

seriously..i hate to sweat when i'm sleeping..it's disturbing..the fan just the right thing for me...

Absolutely, it helps deter those unwanted pests a bit. And great white noise as well. Without a fan, I might be able to sleep granted, but it takes forever. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

No not in a cold place. And complete silence really disturbs me. I mean really, really disturbs me and it causes me to always be awake, because I'm always looking over my shoulder for something to happen. Then again, if I have learned something, there are different people who sleep different ways. If you live a colder climate(a really colder one, as opposed to a moderate one), I can really see the need for something like that. Thanks for responding. Have a nice day.

Yes, that saves money. Unless it really is hot, the air goes off in the evening. Or rather it tends to kick off at its own and stay off for the night because it drops below the temperature in the house. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

Yes, there are circumstances that indicate that the fan might not be the best for everyone. That is most understandable. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

Yes, that can be frustrating, those who make noise at odd hours of the night, without little regard for you. The reason why I need the fan or prefer it, depending on what angle you want to look at. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

Yes, there's nothing like a good breeze too. That can relax you. Just last week, there was a good breeze coming through here that relaxed me. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

Yeah, looks like your hands are tied. Can't really be helped, so fans are a must. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

Driving the mosquitoes away would be something that would be useful in any sense I would think. Whether I would be awake or asleep. They tend to be annoying little pests, that I just want to swat a lot of the time. They are so very annoying in many ways, and can carry some deadly diseases, thus making them doubly more annoying. That is really something that makes me not the biggest fan of mosquitoes in the world. Still a very interesting use, one of the great ways to use a fan at night for sure. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

Yeah, I'm not in the hottest room but it can get pretty hot in the warmer parts of the day. I have my windows open, both fans on and I am still boiling if the air is not on. Thankfully the air is on right now but that's because its in the really hot range around here where it can go on. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

Ah, mosquitoes, one of my most loathed things. Anything that helps keep them away is a benefit for sure. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

Yes, the noise does help a lot in soothing me to sleep. Just pointing it towards a wall is enough for me in those colder months. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

Yes indeed. The power cutting in the middle of the night would be a bad thing. Its impossible to sleep without the fan, especially in those hot summer months. So a power outage in the middle of the night will be a bad thing. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

Yes, that scorching hot weather can make a fan necessary. In fact, I tried sleeping in the hot weather when the power had gone out one time without a fan. The key word is tried. I didn't succeed. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

That is about where I am. The air doesn't need to be on all of the time. Just when it is really hot out. Thank you for your response it is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.
