Oh yes it is something about that fan blowing. I like to sleep under a blanket while the fan is on mostly for the soothing sound that it makes. It makes for a very restful night.

Whenever I used to work 3rd shift I got into the habit of sleeping with a fan on to drown out any noise!  Well I am not longer working 3rd but I still have the fan running!  Luckily my husband worked the same crazy shifts as I did, so he likes the fan too!

I do like sleeping with the fan on but not year round. my fan is however next to my side of the bed if i should get hot all the time. usually my husband complains when i put it on during the winter that it is to cold, so i will usually sleep in a pair of shorts and tank, on top of the blanket. that way if i do get cold and my lab is not sleeping pressed against me i can get up under them. Angel may start out on the bed with us but doesn't always stay because when my husband rolls toward me she looses her spot.  :dog:

My husband has to sleep with the fan on. He even takes a small one with us on vacation! He also has to have the window open.

I bought him a "white noise " machine for christmas. During Sandy, We had to shut the window and use the "sound machine"  when
we lost power. Now we have power and he is back to the fan. Ugh!! :BangHead: :BangHead:

I like to sleep with the fan on for the noise and circulation of air but I can't have it blowing on me.  I have to point it in a different direction.

I sleep with the ceiling fan on and even though I live in Minnesota I still will open the window a crack just for fresh air in the winter.    :peace:

My husband likes a fan.  I never used to until I got old and hormones or lack thereof kicked in but now it's nice.

I usually sleep with the fan on just for the air circulation - keeps the room from getting too stuffy.  I usually keep it on the lowest setting, but during the summer I use the medium setting to keep me cooler.

I am a severe insomnia and I sleep with a noisy box fan going. It helps to mask noises because I am a very light sleeper. If a noise wakes me up, I might not go back to sleep the rest of the night. The noise from the box fan actually helps lull me to sleep.  :dontknow: My apartment is also a warm apartment. It can be very warm even as the night cools off. The box fan cools me and helps make my sleep more comfortable. The slightest discomfort can trigger my insomnia. :wave:

A fan at night is a must in my house! It does cut down on a lot of the little noises that you would hear without one. I can't fall asleep if mine isn't on, it is way too quiet and distracting without it humming to me. :)

This time of year?  It's cold now so no way would I sleep with a fan.  I have a ceiling fan and even in the summer I hardly turn it on because I love heat.  I can't sleep with any kind of air circulating it makes me sick.
