Keeping my fan on in my room really helps me relax

The backround noise.

What is that an indication of?

I'm the same way. I cannot go to sleep at night unless I have a fan audibly blowing. I'm such a light sleeper that I need the noise to help me chill out and ignore other sounds.

I'm the exact opposite.  I have to have complete silence or I'll go nuts.  Summertime is terrible for me for sleep as it is too hot and I have fans going. 

I have now just gotten use to my fish tank making water dripping noises when the water level gets too low.  It's not an odd thing to find me filling my fish tank, naked, at 2am.  :grin:

The best sleep I can have is camping.  That is the best.  Talk about a deafening silence.

I read somewhere about fans emitting something near white noise, which is good at drowning out other noises and goood for relaxing.

I keep mine running at all times as well. It seems to drown out the noise in my head too. If it's off, things are too quiet and I start losing my sanity.

I'm the exact same way. My girlfriend hates it. In fact, she likes to sleep with the TV on. So I have to let her go watch TV until she falls asleep, then I go in and turn off the TV and the fan on so I can go to sleep.

If there is a TV going, it doesn't matter how tired I am, I'll lay there and listen to it all night long.

Same, i have one about 2 feet from my face that goes all night long..kinda worries me about a late night electrical fire to be honest. Does help drown out my thoughts and house noise.

I leave my computer on all night. I like the sound and the idea that I'm permanently connected to the entire world.

I have a fan on every night, even in the winter.

But I love to sleep icy-cold, so its no big deal.

I keep a fan on for noise all of the time, but I can't sleep well if there's a TV on. The noise from it is too random and unpredictable.

I think I have a water leak under the house and so I keep the fan on to help dry things out. It reminds me of camping outdoors in a breeze sometimes.

fans FTW

i bought a 20" box fan my freshman year in the dorms to keep some white noise going while i slept (dorms are always noisy). here i am - four years later, same box fan runs perfectly and has stayed on 24/7 with the exception of a few days of vacation away from the house for the ENTIRE FOUR YEARS.

thank god for the quality of "galaxy" box fans

They do make devices specifically for this purpose, you know: Noisemakers.

Probably uses a lot less electricity, so in actuality, the noisemaker's cheaper.

I think it is white noise..

I bet you get tired when driving a car for a long time too. :p It is commonly know.

Now in the winter I have to use a fan to keep the heat up. I like it too. :wink:

Galaxy fans aren't always that great.  I used mine to dry some portabellas, it died within a day of keeping it on high :frown:

Fortunately, low and medium still work and it's been running 24/7 for months.
