How many fans do you have in your bedroom?

We have one. A tall dyson purifying one that my husband bought a couple of years ago to help with his allergies. He doesn't actually use it for the 'fan' iyswim

It stays on his side of the bedroom but I had to have it on my side last night as I'm just too hot and it got me thinking .. do you 'share' a fan or have your own one each?

none
we keep windows closed and curtains/blinds on the sunny side of the house.
it just doesn't get unbearably hot this way.

I don’t have any fans anywhere. I don’t open the windows at night either, too noisy. Still used my duvet last night. Maybe I just don’t get hot.

None. But I have cool gel pillows stashed in the freezer for hot nights. Though it wasn't to bad for us yet, since our bedroom doesn't get too hot, so opening the window is cool enough. Only my dc needed the cool pillow since his window is west facing and gets really hot.

no fans in our house at all.

Well insulated house, stays warm in winter and doesn't over heat in summer.

But even when I lived in Aisa, I didn't usually use a fan.

None. My house gets very hot as well, but as long as I can cool it off a bit at night I'm ok.

My bedroom in the loft was 31C yesterday. About 6pm I opened all the windows and cooled it down to 27C. Slept in my knickers with a duvet covering half of me still and I was fine. I genuinely don't mind the heat

I have a big wall mounted fan in my bedroom and I have it on every single night as I like the noise . #1 in winter, #4 in summer and then we bring out the big fan, named hurricane harry too. Our bedroom is sweltering as it's an apex roof with barely any insulation. You can feel the heat from the tiles through the ceiling 🥵

One big tower fan, pointing directly at me. All the windows are open too but I'm still boiling.
In this temperature, m quite willing to risk "fan death" tbh.

Me too 🤣

Most Koreans believe that having a fan on while you sleep will kill you. Even tho I don’t rationally think this is true, I still can’t bring myself to do it

Thank you, I've not heard of that before!
