Does anyone else use a bedroom fan?

My room is only small and it's getting very hot lately, making it uncomfortable to sleep. I have never invested in a fan before so I took a look online and purchased a Honeywell HT900E. It was cheaper than expected but I'm worried it won't have the impact I'm looking for.

So my question is, do any of you use a fan in your bedroom and do you really feel 'cooler' for it?

Cheers
 
I do and yes I feel cooler. Downside is I have to have it on all year round as I "need" the sound of it to help me sleep.
 
Yep, but I can't sleep if the fan is on, and I can't sleep if it's too hot.

Usually have window wide open (insect-mesh!!) and fan on for 20mins before going to bed.
 
Yes, I have two windows open and a fan on at the moment. I couldn't sleep in the heat otherwise. It definitely makes me feel cooler.

The noise doesn't bother me personally, I sleep in the same room as two PC's which fold 24/7 anyway. The fan makes things even louder, but it hasn't made a difference to me getting to sleep.

I appreciate that some people couldn't possibly sleep with all that noise though haha.
 
Have a small air con unit that is also a heater for the winter so that gets put on when it gets really warm :)
 
Nope, just open the window if it gets a bit warm - so basically, never in this country! :D

However, when I go to hot countries, having a ceiling fan, or a fan, does make a noticeable difference. :)

I get the same problem. Once the summer starts I need the fan on. Then when it cools down it takes a few sleepless nights to adjust again to sleeping without the fan noise.

why would you do this? why go back to a method of sleeping that's worse? I've slept with a fan on every night for the last ~10 years, with the exception of drunk nights round friends. It hasn't even crossed my mind to go back as i get much much better sleep.
 
Yes. My flat is very warm and unfortunately faces a road which gets busy with lorries about 4am, so having the window open isn't plausible.
 
I have the same fan.
It's extremely noisy but very effective at giving you a cold!

Never use it while sleeping though, just when it's excessively hot in the (top floor) flat. ie. ~30C
 
I usually have one on regardless for white noise (tinnitus) if my PC isn't on and the breeze is quite relaxing.

Totally this. Im the same. I need the fan white noise. If you want to make it louder cover it with an old shirt. But dont cover the motor. Just mesh bit ..the blade guard. You get a nice loud blowing noise.
