This. In summer I get ‘addicted’ to fan noise and cant sleep without. I moved to Asia and the AC is such a blessing.

I'm also addicted to the fan but not only for the noise I like feeling the wind in my face, I think that as it also helps lower your body temperature you sleep better

Wind in my face literally makes me catch a cold within the night, feet/legs is where it is at for me haha

Same for me, one night with a fan on my face / neck and I’ll wake up with an URTI (Upper Respiratory Tract Infection).

Definitely sleep better if I’m not feeling hot.
