To ask if you have a fan on right now?

[ippyielleo]

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!

We have a fan on set at highest level 365 a year.
I like a cold bedroom , hate sleeping in silence as any little noise (including DH breathing) irritates me and so I guess it’s like ‘white noise’.
Additionally with three adult kids still lingering at home ( the bastards) - with girlfriends sometimes sleeping over- still living in the house all full time working , doing overtime, coming in late/going out etc the fan drowns out the normal hub/ hub of a busy home.

I have a fan in my bedroom running all night - it does have sleep mode but tbh the fan is quiet enough to sleep. When I have looked at the running costs of the fan - not bothered given what I pay for gas in the winter. Tbh if we get two weeks of this weather - we will be lucky.

It’s actually cooler outside right now than inside so opening the windows helps a lot. If the fan is by the window, it cools the room down.

Windows open, curtains closed though, fan on low (it is silent), duvet off, jimjams on.

2 fans ( a woozoo and a JL quiet one) and the window open with fly screens down so no bugs .

I'm sitting here using a hand fan cause my grand daughter pushed over my tower fan and now it's making a clunking noise 😭😭. It was a super quiet one that got a lot of use all year round due to the menopause.

Window open wide (with an insect screen!) and ceiling fans in every room. Still boiling though. I sleep with a fan all year round though as I like the white noise.

I bought and installed a ceiling fan (with a light). It went easily onto the wiring for the centre light fitting. With three speeds it is very versatile.

On hot nights the lowest speed is fine, and the noise is nothing like the ‘normal’ electric fans.

Windows shut as on the ground floor and we don’t have any of those little top windows either. Fan on a timer.
I find the noise of a fan so comforting. It reminds me of being in hospital when I was a child, usually on so much pain medicine but I always got a good sleep.

Window open a crack, can’t open it more as the twat cats will go in and out via the fig tree and bring me all sorts of “gifts”

No fan. But it’s not particularly hot in here, benefit of an old stone cottage with 4ft thick walls!

I can sleep with a fan though, the noise is soothing.

The best thing for hot nights is to sleep wrapped in a damp towel with a fan on. I did that when pregnant in a heatwave in a previous house.

Windows open, 3 fans one in our bedroom, one in DS' and one in the spare room where the cat is sleeping post surgery

Windows open, ceiling fans on. They are quieter than most electric plug in fans and the noise is a constant white noise so eliminates a lot of background noise. We sleep like logs. Also have the advantages of being over the bed so no fighting over who benefits most, no need to find somewhere to put them or store them, and they’re always ready use when needed. Disadvantage is they need dusting.

Two fans, one at the bottom of the bed, the other on the bedside table. I like the fan noise, I sleep better.

Window open, no fan. I think it would keep me awake but can't sleep anyway.
Got a hot water bottle that has been in the freezer

Windows shut. Kamikaze cat(s). Tried those flatcat screens but I open and shut the windows so much the velcro is useless within a year. I think I need one that has a zip or something in the handle area.

Bedroom window always open, no fan, sleeping under a sheet instead of a duvet

Bedroom window open and fan on. The noise - I’ve got used to.

Anyone else getting headaches with the weather? I don’t usually get them but it’s been grey, cloudy, hot here and my head is banging the past few days

I live outside of the U.K., and it’s currently 39.4°C (103°F) outside. Our AC is set to 26°C (79°F)……and I’m in fluffy sweatpants with a blanket over my legs 🫣🫣😂 DH insists on having the ceiling fans on as well as the AC 🤨🤨🤨 Going from the current outside temp into my house feels like walking into a fridge and I’m over it. But DH runs hot and will melt into a puddle if I dare turn the AC temperature up even slightly.

bedroom window is open from March to October

Fan on and windows open, I like sleeping with it on as I like the noise it makes I find it soothing personally, never really understand when people say they just blow hot air around, mine certainly doesn’t!

Window open it's nice and quiet here and fan on too I like the white noise of it

We spent years with a fan and windows open and it worked fine, but last year we installed air con. It has been the best investment I’ve ever made, it can also be used to heat a room in the winter & the very slight noise gives the white noise effect.

Are you on the European continent somewhere?

Windows open.. usually just use the fan downstairs in daytime
