As temperatures soar after the summer solstice, many people turn to using electric fans to cool down at night. However, sleeping with a fan blowing directly at you all night can lead to headaches, allergies, and dry skin. Sleep experts suggest using a rotating fan or setting the fan to a natural wind mode, and not keeping it on all night, to avoid these issues. Fans can provide white noise that helps with falling asleep, but for those with allergies, asthma, or sensitive skin, sleeping with a fan blowing may aggravate their symptoms and lead to dryness in the eyes, skin, and nasal passages. It is recommended to avoid sleeping with a fan blowing all night and consider changing to a new fan to avoid accumulation of dust and pollen over time.
