Wait, can people sleep with the noise of a fan in the background? I like complete darkness and complete silence.
I have tinnitus so I can’t sleep without a fan or noise-maker.
Me too, but I don’t really feel that bothered by it.
That would be ideal, but a problem arises when there isn’t complete silence in the background. Noisy neighbors, housemates, cats running around in the hallway at 3 in the morning. The fan noise mutes it to some degree, and then you begin to register the fan as silence-adjacent.
I can’t sleep without the noise of a fan in the room.
I can’t sleep in silence because I got idiot tenants I live around that got to make noise at night. They don’t know what volume control is.
I need my fans in order to sleep. Their worship is what sets my mind at ease. If I am not lulled into slumber by their jubilant adorations I will wake with a great and terrible vengeance to wreak havoc upon this ungrateful earth
Well yes, of course, that’s why the hedge_lord accords were written into the fan laws.
But for everyone else …
People living in the tropics without AC right now: 🥵
I don’t sleep with a fan, it blows air on me and that sucks becaue I’ll wake up with eye boogers and my eyes will feel weird. I don’t understand how people would prefer that
I can understand the noise aspect though, even if I don’t personally like it. My parents have used a little noise machine for the past 10 years.
The trick is to point it at your feet, not your face. Faster temperature regulation when you have to stick exactly one foot out to not be too hot.
I just make sure the fan isnt blowing directly at my face. Keeps eye issues at bay.
Asians go yeeeeeey
Just get some tinnitus the fan noise is basically the same!
i need the fan noise to drown out the ringing!
I don’t even sleep with a fan for the noise, I love the sensation of wind in my face and also being warm under the blankets while the room feels freezing.
I leave one foot out. Warm foot and cool foot. Perfect balance.
But what about the monsters under the bed?
Mummy sleeping bag in a tent feels great as well after a long day. Bit of a chilly face makes the rest feel that much more comfy
I wrap myself up in blankets but make a small tunnel for cold air to hit my face. Feels great.
Alternative: Ménière’s disease, so you just can’t hear it!
You’re really not a fan of that idea. You just need to chill out about it.
Honest question: I always have my fan, even in winter, because of the noise. I haven’t found a video that sounds the same, they end up sounding like static or something. Maybe flat? Anyone actually know of one that sounds like a good fan?
Have you tried a brown noise generator? Not a fan, but works for me.
I haven’t tried brown noise. I’ll give that a shot, thank you. 😊
They sell white noise machines which might be what you’re looking for, granted it’s not a video BUT they’re small and portable enough to throw in a carry on.
I’ll have to check some out. The ones I’ve tried always sound static like.
Can I still use the AC though
Sure you can. But the fan can’t spin. Good luck!
