I am a fan sleeper. Must have the noise of it, or it is hopeless for me. Turn it on, and I am a Pavlov dog. lol
My kids have always slept with a fan. From day 1. They too, hear that first hum, and are fast asleep without fail.
My husband and I actually have given fans to new parents as a side gift. The gift of sleep 🙂 Nothing better.
Originally posted by Landisqueen170I concur. I used to work the midnight shift, and so I slept during the day. A fan was necessary to help diminish neighborhood noise. I still sleep with a fan, even in winter.

No idea how people sleep hearing every little noise in and outside of their homes?!

Originally posted by Great Big SteesI received a gadget years ago that offered all of that and more...thunderstorms, rain forest noises, etc.. And I tried my best to adapt...falling asleep to the sounds of crashing waves seemed so much better than the dull sound of my fan...

But, no. Not the same effect...I am a victim of conditioned stimulus never to be undone 😞
Originally posted by Great Big SteesI think it has, it's easy to fall asleep on a train - soft, frequent sounds.
