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 wrap myself up in blankets but make a small tunnel for cold air to hit my face. Feels great.

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 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 …

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.

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.

Because this is not an option for 99% of people. Even if you are in the sticks you get the bugs making noise.

You're really not a fan of that idea. You just need to chill out about it.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Have you tried a brown noise generator? Not a fan, but works for me.
