Do you like to have air blowing on you when you sleep?

Contributor: Martiniman Martiniman
I love sleeping under a ceiling fan no matter what time of year, but my wife doesn't. She says it causes her allergies to act up so I do without.

Thats one of the downfalls to ceiling fans as the blades collect and dispence dust particles. If you cleaned it more often (as much of a pain it can be) do you think she may be okay with it on more often?
I try and clean off my fan once i notice any sort of particle buildup, and i'll throw a pillow case over the blade and wipe the dust of, and if i happen to be vacuuming i'll to the blades as well.

No! I hate it. I don't have AC, so in the summer I need about 4 different fans but I'm still sleeping with a sheet on because it feels like someone is constantly touching me. Not okay, right?

That's partially why I wear a sleep mask!

I bought little stick on filters for the blades of my ceiling fan, plus I always have an air filter running & all the other anti-allergy stuff I do. Love the pillow case tip, bratcat! Good way to contain any dust. In between, like everyday or every other, try using a swiffer duster with the handle! It makes it fast & easy, unless you have more buildup, then it can't hold it all.

Martiniman & anyone else that is interested in filters that go onto your ceiling fan blades, here's a google search link. (If you want the brand I used, you can PM me.) link in case the link doesn't work, just search for "ceiling fan filters"

I always need air blowing in the room. It doesn't necessarily have to be on me.

I NEED the sound of the fan all year long, but my husband is usually the one that gets the air blown on him.

I have to have the ceiling fan on high and a box fan on high. The sound helps me sleep.

It's hard to sleep the first cool days of fall without my fan but I get used to it. When things warm up and it's time for the fan come out,I lose a little sleep the first week. That transition takes about a week

I need it. C doesn't mind, and his ceiling fan is just enough so I don't need a box fan at his place.

I usually have one on. I don't like having the AC or heater on all night, just because I'm only ever using one room in the house. Feels like a waste, so I'll use a fan or space heater.
