Should You Sleep with a Fan On?
Many people enjoy the cool breeze and white noise of a fan at night, but it comes with pros and cons.
Benefits:
White Noise: Helps mask disruptive sounds and improve sleep.
Cooling: Prevents overheating, especially in summer.
Air Circulation: Reduces stuffiness and may help allergy sufferers.
SIDS Prevention: Some studies suggest fans may reduce SIDS risk by improving airflow.
Drawbacks:
Dryness: Can cause dry skin and eyes—use a humidifier if needed.
Muscle Stiffness: Direct airflow may cause discomfort.
Allergens: Can stir up dust—clean fans regularly.
Noise Sensitivity: Not everyone finds fan noise soothing.
Energy Use: Fans consume power—opt for efficient models.
In short, sleeping with a fan can improve comfort and sleep quality,
but be mindful of its effects on your body, allergies, and energy use.
