    Default Do you sleep with a fan on?

    While readin the sock thread I came opon a topic that interested me. Do you sleep with a fan on? I do, so does my oldest siter and, aparently, so do other people. I thought this was something odd, to only be able to sleep with a fan on..even if its cold. Does anyone else share this oddity?

    I don't see what's weird about it.

    I sleep with a fan on if it's hot.

    The ceiling fan in my bedroom is on pretty much 24/7 during all of the summer. The breeze is a little irritating to the eyes, but it's worth it. During the late fall, winter, and early spring it's too cold to have it going.

    My dad sleeps with a small fan beside his bed, and I used to do that too when I was little, then I stopped.
    But then I started having the ceiling fan on, and now I can't sleep with out it on. I'm almost scared of silence, so I need the noise to get me to sleep since I've always had some kind of noise, be it a fishtank, the Tv, music, a fan..
    I used to sleep to music.. but now I just fall asleep to it and wake up about an hour later and turn it off.
    So if the fan was off.. I'd never sleep.

    If I happen to be hot, I will, but not usually.

    I will, unless it's cold. It's been not-cold a couple of times this year so far.

    I like the noise.

    I only sleep with a fan on when it's hot. The noise bothers me at first, but I get used to it quickly.

    When I was in middle school, my Mom told me about a college kid who slept with all the doors and windows closed and with the fan on. She said the person suffocated to death.

    It wasn't until years and years later that I found out that death by fan was a myth that is widely accepted by people in Korea. Isn't that just the strangest thing? My Mom refuses to believe that actually dying by leaving a fan on is almost impossible. She goes on about friends of friends who died that way and blah blah blah.

    But still, the idea has been ingrained in my head since I was young. So to get to the point, no I don't sleep with the fan on.

    ...How could you possibly suffocate to death with a fan in the room? That's just bizzare. Freaking Koreans! Because of this story I have decided that all of Korea is crazy and fanatical!

    When it's cold I just point the fan away from me, btw. I MUST HAVE MY WHITE NOISE.

    I have slept for the past year or so in a sealed room with a fan running and as you can see I'm alive. Its BS.

    Shlup I feel the same way, unless I hear the hum of a fan or I just can't fall asleep.

    Yes, I do probably about 60% of the time. Soft background noise helps me sleep.

    i don't like to use the fan, unless i come home extremely hot or something. then i'll just sit right in front of the fan and let the wind blow into my face, xD. i'm like a desert person. a little cold draft and i'll get a small jacket...
