A restful night of sleep is always good. If you fail to get a good nightly sleep and have free time in the afternoons, you are one of the lucky few who get to enjoy one of those great summer time naps. Just put a box fan close to the bed and you will have one of the best sleep aids money can buy.

There is two things that make a fan great for sleeping. One of the things a lot of people like is the noise. That constant running of the motor in the box fan, is a soothing noise that help many people to sleep. The thing I like best is the non-stop breeze you have inside your bedroom. I will sleep with the fan during the night and especially during my summer time naps in the long dog days of summer.

Do you currently use a box fan to help you sleep? If you ever get use to having the noise and breeze from a fan for sleeping, you might find it hard to sleep without one. During the cold months of winter, I sometimes have to turn on a fan and aim the air flow away from me. Just so I can hear that noise, which does help people sleep better. That noise is also good for drowning out other noises that might come from another room inside the house or a barking dog that won’t shut up outside.

Regardless if you like a fan for the noise or the breeze, it is an affective sleep aid in my opinion. I now use a fan for each night I go to bed and for every afternoon nap I take. I think the afternoon naps with the fan are the best, but throwing on a lot of covers at night is nice too; while trying to stay warm from the fan and the air conditioner. I would love to hear your night time or day time stories, about using a fan to help you sleep.
