    Oh yeah....Ceiling fan in every room and DH likes a box fan blowing right in his face too. And we run A/c . Of course, we have a 1908 ranchhouse and the ceilings are 14 ft. So we have to have them to keep the cool air down. High ceilings are nice but not energy efficient. LOL.

    I started using my fan when hubby was staying up late to watch TV, it was great because it blocked the noise. Now i can't sleep without it running!!! I don't know what i'm going to do in the winter when it's cold and i'm trying to stay warm!

    My father was a truck driver and use to sleep over the steering wheel while the truck was running (couldn't shut them off back then). He devised a fan to sleep by and it was loud enough, my brother and I have to have "noise makers" to this day...and we're both in our 50's. So, YES a fan is running.

    Yes a fan all year, I can't sleep without it. I keep the window open a crack all winter too. Hubby doesn't like it so much but I do so he puts up with it.

    Two fans and the air in the summer. Two fans and the window open all winter. DH says he wakes up with ice on his head all year.

    Most definitely a fan is a must. I can't stand it when the air is still, brings on my anxiety and I can't sleep. I know I'm weird. In the winter it's not so bad cause when the air cools down it feels like it's moving.

    YES!!!! When we travel we take one, when we camp (tent camping) we get a site with electrical hook up. We all sleep with a fan. I can't sleep without one. My sister bought one to keep at her house just for us to use and we only visit 3 or 4 times a year! :)

    I have to have air moving! We have ceiling fans in every room, a tower fan in my work room, central heat and air and window ac's in the bedroom and in my work room for an extra blast of air on those really hot days. I have said many times that I wish men would have 2 hot flashes.....one, so they know how it feels and two, so they don't forget it! :thumbup:

    Yes, I have 2 ceiling fans in my bedroom that I use at night. Also, the central air! (And I still have to kick off the covers!)

    I can't sleep without some sort of white noise, so yes, I have a fan running year round. I dont like it aimed at me, though, because my hair is long and it blows it around. :)
