Raises hand

**viencarl** · 03-27-2008, 05:41 AM

yeah i experienced the same thing too

i want the wind blow in my feet

**Zuzana Designs** · 03-27-2008, 05:42 AM

I sure do

If it is on a lower setting it drives me nuts

**Fap** · 03-27-2008, 05:51 AM

its not weird i sometimes leave the fan on but i always wake up freezing early in the morning

**bobby666** · 03-27-2008, 05:52 AM

only if i want to get sick

**Darkhorse** · 03-27-2008, 05:53 AM

Ya I am the same mate, it's either on or I don't sleep. Been hard lately though we have a new born in the room with us so unless it's stinkn hot I don't have it on.....

**cthulhu_waves** · 03-27-2008, 05:53 AM

i experience it too, raise the roof

**LauraLee** · 03-27-2008, 06:06 AM

White noise, gotta have it.

**Holly** · 03-27-2008, 06:06 AM

Hell, yeah. Can't even think about sleeping without one. My college boyfriend got me hooked. He was in vet school and his whole family were vets, so he had those big ass fans that they dry dogs in front of. He would actually point it right at the bed, which I didn't like. I slept with the covers over my head.

I don't point the fan at me. It's on the other side of the room so all I get is the noise. I do run the ceiling fan above the bed, though.

I've been thinking about getting one of those sound machine things that look like an alarm clock. I wonder how well they'd work?

**ADL Colin** · 03-27-2008, 06:09 AM

yup. sure do

**TimCase** · 03-27-2008, 06:13 AM

I think it was in the movie Seven that Morgan Freeman's character turned a metronome on before he went to bed at night...I guess the steady "click click click" served the same purpose.

Not enough for me, though. Give me the fan.

**EuroRev_Stacey** · 03-27-2008, 06:16 AM

When I let the fan ON pointing to me the whole night, expect the next morning that I have colds

The fan might dry your throat or nose out and make them feel dry/hoarse, but a cold is a virus. You don't get it from wind or temperature.

**Scott McD** · 03-27-2008, 06:32 AM

People leave a fan on just for the noise ?!?!?

**AssPirate** · 03-27-2008, 06:36 AM

i do too...especially when the weather is too hot...

**lhizy_05** · 03-27-2008, 06:48 AM

yes i do, when it's hot!!

**'So Fucking Money** · 03-27-2008, 07:28 AM

Yeah, even in the winter. Im here in PHX right now and it's waaay too quiet. Luckily Ive got street sounds outside the window.

**SeptemberLee** · 03-27-2008, 07:30 AM

Me...I ALWAYS sleep with the fan on..even if it's cold I need that wind blowing on my face..lol

**Sid70** · 03-27-2008, 08:05 AM

My wife's laptop is Asus and it's noise is what I love hearing falling asleep...

Partly. I also like it on because it moves the air around in the room, which is a good thing.

But lately I've had an air purifier going, which makes a similar sound and also moves the air around... but it also filters out dust particles.

The fan still gets some use in the summer.

Yes, I'm a freak...

**wyldblyss** · 03-27-2008, 08:26 AM

Hubby has to have the fan, I could do without it. Sometimes it is nice, but sometimes it is downright irritating.

**Honez** · 03-27-2008, 08:30 AM

I have been sleeping with a fan on me for the past 33 years. I even have a little one I travel with. I can't sleep without the noise.

**carol.prime** · 03-27-2008, 08:43 AM

of course, can't sleep without it. ;)

**Dirty Lord** · 03-27-2008, 08:47 AM

I get sick every time I do this....

**Jayvis** · 03-27-2008, 09:52 AM

I can only sleep with a fan on. Not blowing directly on me though, can't stand that, but just for the noise.

**WhiplashDug** · 03-27-2008, 09:53 AM

yes. its a must.

**BVF** · 03-27-2008, 09:58 AM

I like having some sort of air circulation when I sleep.....I mostly sleep with a fan on even if it's a heater fan....But when I lived near the ocean and had the natural breeze coming in my window, I no longer needed it.

**u-Bob** · 03-27-2008, 09:59 AM

only if i want to wake up with neck pain... :/

**FelixFlow** · 03-27-2008, 10:02 AM

yes i do! in the wintertime, i just turn it to the side & aim it at a wall, lol

that "buzzzzzzzzzzzz" noise puts me to sleep

**VeriSexy** · 03-27-2008, 05:24 PM

No, but it doesn't get hot here

**Swish** · 03-27-2008, 05:46 PM

I do, just for the background noise like you said

**tony286** · 03-27-2008, 05:49 PM

Worked night shift here for a long long time and I too cant sleep without the fan on all year round.

**GrouchyAdmin** · 03-27-2008, 05:50 PM

I haven't slept with a fan on for years.

**shekinah** · 03-27-2008, 05:56 PM

Nope, it's cold here... don't need a fan while sleeping.

**rowan** · 03-27-2008, 06:12 PM

I've experimented with tuning my clock radio to an unused part of the FM dial with some success. White noise. I'm a light sleeper so having something that partially masks background noises (such as my 2 year old getting up for the day) helps.

**Rinaldo** · 03-27-2008, 06:14 PM

I need one or I can't sleep. I can't sleep at other people's houses for this reason.

**MissMina** · 03-27-2008, 06:15 PM

Yep. Me. Can't sleep without one.

**The Judge** · 03-27-2008, 06:24 PM

So many anxiety cases here, is that a requirement of becoming an adult webmaster? you know, together with the working from home thing, you get the (mental) picture

Just put the fan noise on a CD and play it on the stereo, no more cold wind.

**Lace** · 03-27-2008, 06:28 PM

My lady is the same exact way. We have a floor standing fan for the winter and a fan that fits in the window for the warmer months and neither of us can sleep without it.

I am used to sleeping with the TV on - always have been and it helps me fall asleep but since we moved in together, she's totally against having a TV in the bedroom since i like to leave it on all night and not set the sleep timer.

Not to mention she doesn't want a huge TV brightening up the room while she's trying to sleep.

Funny someone would bring this up though.

**L-Pink** · 03-27-2008, 06:32 PM

I can't sleep unless there is fan noise in the room. When traveling I turn on the bathroom fan ... Interesting to see how many react the same.

**papill0n** · 03-27-2008, 06:37 PM

an esential part of a good nights sleep

**ungratefulninja** · 03-27-2008, 06:39 PM

I prefer the noise and the wind blowing on me.

**bu((aneer** · 03-27-2008, 06:47 PM

I was sleeping one time and the ceiling fan came off!!!

Luckily it didnt hit me, but it scared me shitless! What a way to wake up!

**1-800-313-WETT** · 03-27-2008, 06:55 PM

I just turned mine on - just to fit in

**Peaches** · 03-27-2008, 06:55 PM

OMG, I thought I was the only person who did this! I hate going to hotels, friend's and family's homes (though I do have "my" room at my brother's with a ceiling fan), even the hospital because I don't have my fan

It's not the noise, it's the wind. I have to have it facing me either from the ceiling fan or from a floor fan. And don't try any of that oscillating crap - I want it on me the whole time!! And yes, even when it's 0 degrees outside

If I'm somewhere I can open a window I'm OK but if I'm in a hotel room where I can't open a window then I have that AC blowing full blast all night long.

**dennisthemenace** · 03-27-2008, 07:08 PM

You bet - air purifier... sound, moving cleaner air, great sleep.

**payd2purv** · 03-27-2008, 07:26 PM

I am the same way about having noise.

I don't have a fan but I can't fall asleep without the TV on...

**J. Falcon** · 03-27-2008, 07:30 PM

Thats a great wat to catch a cold.
