In tropical countries, a fan is widely used as an integral part of the bedroom because of its many uses. It gives us comfort by making the bedroom cool. It drives out the hot air from the room. A fan may not be comfortable for those who are suffering from a cold.

Sleeping with fan has its benefits as it helps in air circulation and cooling the room but the disadvantages includes skin dryness as fan blows away moist from surfaces including skin, for people with dry skin the use of skin moisturizer is advisable. Another negative point is that fan is not good for people with Allergy like sinus, as it worsens the condition, in this case it is best to reduce the fan or turn it off  completely. Lastly some fans have a very disturbing noise that prevents sleep.

The UK has a fairly cool climate compared to some so we only need a fan in the summer months.  I don't use one in the bedroom because I find the draft can give me a neck ache even when it's really warm and the noise keeps me awake. I will use one in the other rooms when I am walking around but find it is not beneficial to me when I sleep.

Scorching summer days can be tough without air conditioning, and you might find yourself searching for ways to stay cool, including using a fan at night. But is it healthy to sleep with a fan on? Some recent headlines have made sleeping with a fan ON sound downright dangerous. "Why Sleeping with Your Fan on Could Be Seriously Damaging Your Health," read one recent headline from the Mirror. "Sleeping with a Bedside Fan Could Pose Health Risks," read another, from LifeZette. But experts say the reality is not that dire. "There's nothing about a fan that's toxic," said Dr. Len Horovitz, a pulmonologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. "There's nothing wrong with circulating air." [ 7 Common Summer Health Concerns] Indeed, sleep is very important, and you don't want to be sweating all night, Horovitz told Live Science. But anything that causes rapid air movement, including a fan, can evaporate moisture from your mouth and nasal passages, drying them out, he said. Fans may also circulate dust, which could bother people, particularly if they have allergies. If you do sleep with a fan on, Horovitz said it's a good idea to keep it at a safe distance from your bed and not have it blowing right on you. To guard against dust and other allergens, Horovitz recommended keeping an air filter in the bedroom. He also recommended performing daily sinus irrigation with saline, which can help with dry nasal passages, congestion, and other nasal problems. Cold air can also cause muscle contractions, and so exposure to this air at night may lead to a stiff neck in the morning. But Horovitz said this is more of a problem with air conditioning that's left on at night than it is with fans. If you do sleep with the air conditioning on at night, Horovitz said the air shouldn't be blowing directly on you and the setting shouldn't be lower than 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius).

A fan is good in hot places. When I once visited the Kenya coast it was so hot at night that we used to have a fan. It had a disturbing notice but had nothing to do. I felt very uncomfortable.

It is fine but not let the fan focus on either side of your face. Why? It can cause a health condition called "Bell's Palsy." We need to be careful about this matter.

Sleeping with a fan ON can help some people sleep better by providing white noise, which can help mask other sounds and promote relaxation.

Yes, sleeping with a fan on can help you sleep better. The sound of the fan can help to drown out other noises and create a more soothing atmosphere, and the constant airflow from the fan can help regulate body temperature and make it easier to drift off to sleep. Additionally, the fan can help to create a white noise effect that can help to block out distractions and promote better sleep.

Sleeping with a fan on can create a soothing and constant white noise that may help some people fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. It can also improve air circulation and keep the room cool, which may improve overall sleep quality. However, for others, the noise and sensation of the fan may be too distracting and actually interfere with sleep. Ultimately, it depends on personal preference and comfort.

Yes it does I live in india and this country is a country where even winters are hot ( accept some specific place) so it's hard to live without fan and there is a assumption that air conditioner can cause so many problems prohibited us to use air conditioner so much so we use fan . Fans are also comfortable I think you can sleep really well if you have a fan on and according to me it's even better if it's table fan.
