Do you always have the fan on, or the window open at night? We can’t really open our bedroom window so that’s not a choice and the fan is so noisy!

I have my bedroom window open every night, all year round. I have a fan at the moment. I wear ear plugs though so can’t hear it

BizzyLizzyDooDah · 29/06/2025 22:28

Windows open. Fan on!

Inastatus · 29/06/2025 22:29

@FoxRedPuppy - same

MaJoady · 29/06/2025 22:29

Windows open, no fan. Don't even own one. I can't sleep with the noise and don't like sitting/sleeping in a draft

Newname71 · 29/06/2025 22:29

Windows closed but fan on full!! Funny enough I’ve just asked DS2 to swap fans with me. Mines on a stand and blows over the top of me rather than on me!

annonymousse · 29/06/2025 22:30

Windows open and fan on. I like the white noise of the fan. It helps me sleep.

I usually have my bedroom window open all the time but today we got invaded by thunderbugs so I had to close it and have all the doors, windows and vents closed all day 😭
I have got the fan on. I dont mind the noise. I couldn't cope without it.

frecklejuice · 29/06/2025 22:31

Not yet but I will do when I get into bed!

SleepingisanArt · 29/06/2025 22:31

Windows closed aircon on = good night sleep. Best money we've ever spent, even the water softener comes 2nd to the aircon unit in the bedroom. (Bedroom is south facing so is very hot in the afternoon even with the curtains closed etc.)

ladyofshertonabbas · 29/06/2025 22:31

No fan- too noisy.

PractisingMyTelekenipsis · 29/06/2025 22:31

Window wide open all year unless it's absolutely freezing, in which case it's only open an inch.
Fan on, but I love the sound of it and usually play white/pink noise when the fan is off

mintydoggyv · 29/06/2025 22:32

Fan on and window open

VimtoGarden · 29/06/2025 22:32

Windows open and fan on all year round here.

notnorman · 29/06/2025 22:33

Fan on window open ear plugs in

Sulking · 29/06/2025 22:33

I struggle to sleep without the sound of the fan going 🤣 DH hates it in win tee t when I’m asking for the fan on

Auroraloves · 29/06/2025 22:34

Window open. Have a fan but only have that on when it’s extra hot

Finteq · 29/06/2025 22:36

Window shut

No fan

MrsMitford3 · 29/06/2025 22:36

I am downstairs right now with one fan.

Going to bed in a min. Two fans and window open.

My window open and fan going literally every single day, I feel like i need the air!

BarBellBarbie · 29/06/2025 22:37

Don't own a fan. Hate the sensation of air blowing on me. I like air conditioning, but don't like fans. Don't they just move warm air around?

Newmeagain · 29/06/2025 22:37

I would love to have window open but being in London there would be too much noise - not that I live in a noisy street but just everyday noise. I have a Dyson fan and have it on low.

NuffSaidSam · 29/06/2025 22:37

Window open all the time, at the moment all the windows in the house open to cool it down.

I haven't needed the fan yet this year, but I find the noise soothing so it's not a problem.

Gingernaut · 29/06/2025 22:39

Asthmatic

It's Flying Ants Day, pollen counts are astronomical and pollution is high, so window is closed

Fan on, set to 1

Blueuggboots · 29/06/2025 22:40

We have a meaco fan and it’s quite quiet in comparison to other fans.

mynameiscalypso · 29/06/2025 22:40

Both bedrooms here have doors that open onto a roof terrace and both are open at the moment. I’ll close DS’ doors in a bit for safety reasons but he has a fan on. We’ll have our doors open all night so no need for a fan. There’s a lovely breeze coming through right now.

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 29/06/2025 22:41

At the moment we have both window open and fan on. We plan to investigate aircon before next summer .
