Someone got me in the habit of sleeping with the fan on, then I used it to drown out noises for about 20 years.  I finally broke the habit when I moved to an extremely quiet neighborhood and if the fan made a squeak, it would wake me up.

The fan does not bother me at all, whether I'm awake watching TV or in the PC or sleeping, day or night. If it is warm enough to turn it on, I'll turn it on. Furthermore, the sound of the fan kinda rocks me when I'm about to go to sleep, because somehow, someway it blocks the outside noise and blends in with the background noise, such as TV. The TV is a different story, I don't sleep with the TV on, but I sure set a timer of 30 minutes on the TV, so I'm falling asleep while the TV is on, but the TV turns itself off when I finally fall asleep.

I dont like sleeping with the fan on...usually just have the windows open.   But if it's gets too hot, then we'll turn the fan on...mainly for my hubby.

I like it nice and quiet at night when I sleep but my daughter likes to have a fan running at night.  My daughter in law likes to keep the TV on at night.  That would worry me so I could not sleep, but to each his own.  Hope everyone enjoys their weekend and may God bless each of you and keep you safe.

I have been sleeping with a fan on now for several years, I cant hardly stand to sleep without it now.  When my last one went out I couldn't wait to get another one, so now I keep an extra one on hand!!

I generally have a lot of trouble falling asleep without a fan on.  Of course that changes a bit this time of year when it gets a little colder.

Since I don't use air conditioning (it is only here for guest), I only use the fan in the hottest of summer days. Never even consider if it would bother me to sleep with it on.

We often have the fan on.  As others have said, it helps with the hot flashes, and I like the white noise.

I love sleeping with a fan too. Even on cold days I turn it on and put on blankets.

If I sleep with the fan on I can't have it blowing directly on my neck or else I will wake up with a stiff neck.

I love to sleep with the fan on... The old phrase "Silence is Golden" is true sometimes, but not when I'm sleeping.  The "white noise" effect from my fan definitely makes for a better night's sleep...
