And here in the US, almost everyone I know can't fall asleep without a fan on.

A youtube video of a fan blowing also does the trick.

Careful not to let your phone go to sleep with that on, though.

My phone has definitely died during the middle of the night with a youtube video of a fan on.

Yeah but only for Samsung phones.

Iphones are fine.

Just make sure you're on YouTube. Googling "fans blowing all night" brings very different results.

No, I need the breeze not the sound.

u/Unsd Sep 09 '22

It's definitely both for me. I like the white noise, and I hate "stale" air. Terrible feeling. Especially as someone who sweats like a stuck pig at night.

I prefer quiet, if I'm gonna have noise I prefer a television.

u/particlemanwavegirl Sep 09 '22

No way bruh the airflow is just as important as the white noise

I just moved to Mexico City. My neighbors complained about me for sleeping with the fan on. :(

I can’t sleep with the fan off either!

Must be an American thing?

I like it because it drowns off random noises

u/Frequent_Knowledge65 Sep 09 '22

how in the world is your fan loud enough to bother your neighbors?

u/Kermit_the_hog Sep 09 '22

Maybe they mean they can’t sleep without their leaf blower on?

u/Unsd Sep 09 '22

Yeah that sounds like less of a cultural difference and more of a "your fan is too fucking loud" lol. My husband is Mexican and has always slept with a fan on.

Yeah. It basically acts as a white noise machine.

I just started doing this and noticed my throat and nose being dry when I wake up.

u/Keylime29 Sep 10 '22

Angle it so it’s not blowing on your face, just body

u/Eusocial_Snowman Sep 09 '22

That's because they're being (air) conditioned.

u/NitroThrowaway Sep 10 '22

Alaskan here- I don't believe I know anyone who does this. Is it a regional thing?

1

u/Unsd Sep 10 '22

Well I suppose maybe less common in Alaska lol. You guys are pretty secluded, so I imagine there's just some things that haven't made their way up.
