A working man knows that a fan in the background gets rid of the ringing in his ears from years around man things.

Don't... touch... my... fans... 🤬 lol

We live in the South. You keep the AC on or you die.

To put it in perspective, Some of us came back, but never came home.

He's got a hoodie on. Must be cold-blooded. He obviously doesn't live somewhere where it is 120 during the day and cools to 100 at midnight.

As a 50 year old menopausal woman: I have three fans, one of them blowing right in my face, and am about to buy a fourth. And I'm from Earth.

@thedadbodveteran I have 3 fans on the go in my bedroom. Im 62 years young and can only sleep with them running and listening to the sound they make. Sheer Bliss! 😊

DBV don’t be too hard on him, he’s young, one of those zeelinials 😂

For me, I like the air moving. It's easier to breathe.

62% (AT NIGHT) ceiling fan and standard fan 24/7 I live in Florida but I'll do that anywhere🤗💆🏾

I NEED moving air to breathe at night, plus the white noise provided by the various motors of fans and ac helps me sleep. I have insomnia, and anything that helps is welcomed. I know of no one who does NOT sleep with ac and fans, all my family does, all my husband's family does, all our friends do...seems like this dude is the odd man out. I will hurt a body over my fans and ac! Plus I live in the south, it's either year round ac or smother with the heat and humidity.

Abso-friggin-lutely!!! Perfect description! Sleep time is arguably the most important time of the daily routine. Without proper sleep, the rest is an absolute CHORE.

Yes we got to sleep with the air conditioning on. 😅

I live in the Coachella Valley and it’s reach 123 degrees. There are weeks in the summertime we are over 115 degrees everyday. This is what planet I am from.😉

I can't sleep in the dead of winter without the fan on.

I use a cordless jobsite fan that runs on power tool batteries. That way I can take it with me camping too.

Ahh yes, Dadbod Vet. We are of like minds my guy! The perfect way to sleep!

Wake in a panic is very CPTSD. Conditions must be perfect for restful sleep. I typically wake having no idea where I am and it sucks to feel panicked like that everyday. Having stable sleeping conditions is KEY.

What he said. Plus, we have dogs... that bark at EVERYTHING! Even if they Make the noise... they Bark at it! Once... one dog Farted and then they both barked at That, for about 3 minutes. Fans are a MUST for a Good night of Sleep!!!

Dead silence is amazing. I'm dead to the world when I'm out

Wrapped up and can sleep through anything... Sounds about right 😂 can't forget opening the window too

I want to sleep to the sounds of a thunderstorm every night, all night 😅... thunderstorms always help me sleep better for some reason.

I'm a truck driver, I sleep best when pulling or parked next to a refer. Some people's apu's sound like a lawn mower though. And an idling truck with an air leak drives me nuts with the compressor kicking on every 2 minutes.

I can't stand to have a fan running. I like complete silence. Once I'm asleep, I don't hear a thing.

it spring time in the South, the heat is main reason but can't take the pollen without a fan to stir the air.

I have 3 fans and the A/C pumping. Makes me go to sleep. Back in the day, I had the channel 3 static blaring. Nothing could wake me.

I do sleep in silence yet I'm also quite difficult to wake. I did however spend three tours in various warzones and so know to value my rest when I can get it.

As someone who actually keeps up with their vitamin suppliments, I keep the A/C on at a reasonable temperature, and my ceiling fan on fast enough to keep the air moving so it doesn't feel stagnant!

Dadbod. You lift me.

I was looking for my kindred on these comments 😂 I can’t sleep without covers but I’m also perpetually HOT 🥵 The heater does not come on in the winter and the air is always on 65 in the summer. With fans and a bed jet set to 62. In addition, I have to have my cooking shows playing on about a volume of 4 just running in the background as any sound wakes me up and it’s already hard to fall asleep no matter how tired I am. Perhaps the mom in me. Perhaps the menopause 🤷🏽‍♀️

Here in the UK we don't really need AS but I no need white noise of some sort to settle. I have an app on my phone where I can dial up the sound of rainfall, a fan or ocean saved etc. After I've gone I can sleep through anything. The down side of this is I need three alarms which must be further than arms reach or I will turn them off in my slee.

Central A/C cranked to “Arctic”, portable A/C cranked to “Polar Bear”, a ceiling fan, and two high-velocity fans on high (one for me and the other for the missus, of course). Two layers of blanketing for me and three for her. Dead to the world until morning. 😊😊😊

Gen Xer here. I live in a continuous state of exhaustion. When I sleep I sleep like the dead regardless of what is going on around me.

In the winter, we can bounce between a high of 32° and a high of 132° within a matter of a day. We can have 100° days with 10° nights, but we can even have the reverse. And in the summer, we're lucky if we fall below 80° on a dark, rainy night with the freezers open inside. The question is not how _I_ can sleep with the HVAC on; the question is how the HVAC can survive such abuse as the insane weather out here doles out.

I learned to sleep through noise on a ship. Now I can't sleep if it's too quiet.

It's ASMR for us GenX types.

I sleep in silence in pitch Black and I can sleep through anything no matter what's going on outside my door

I need a certain amount of weight on me to sleep comfortably, it currently amounts to a comforter and a blanket, no matter what season it is. So in the Spring and Summer of course I have a fan and air conditioner running. ;)

Have been a TV-on sleeper since I got my first job at 16. It helps kill he thoughts from the day and let's me get a full night sleep to do it all again the next day... Turning 39 next month. American Dad is my current go-to since I've seen them all 😂

I HAVE to have the fan going at all times to keep the ringing in my ears to a minimum.

As a walking thermal battery, the AC must be 70 at the highest, a utility fan blowing on the bed, and at least three layers of covering. Only then does the bear find sleep.

My fan broke. I couldn’t sleep. Thank goodness for next day delivery. 😂

South Florida. Dont touch my AC or fan.

I remember my first night after I left the Navy. It was way too quiet!

The wife and I even take a pedestal fan with us on vacation for hotel rooms.l We live in OK and even a good Oklahoma thunderstorm won't wake me up!!!

I CANNOT sleep without my fan going. Even in the winter I have it facing away from me but it is still on. When I didn't have one because it stopped working, I had to find a video of a storm or a gurgling brook on KZfaq to fall asleep.

Nothing is more annoying than when one of those fans, whose sound you have grown accustom to, suddenly starts making a new squeak.

I’m probably going thru menopause sooo… I’m ALWAYS hot. I need a blankey too the time! Oh and about silence, can’t do it anymore- my brain has too many thoughts! 😂

We have the a/c turned down, ceiling fan on ,and I have a fan on my side and hubby has one on his and the t.v. on 😂😂😂❤

Immediately breakout in a cold sweat!!😢😢

I do remember, as a kid, back in the 70's. Lying in bed, at night, I could hear the fridge running in the kitchen, then the oil furnance would kick in and drown that out, before I went to sleep. I could actually hear the train coming though town 10 miles away on a summer night with the window open. Now just tinnitus. Ceiling fan can't even drown it out. Too much 80's music and unprotected gunfire. Use protection or this will be you too.

Nope, I pray for the hot humid summer weather 6 months of the year. Why would I use a machine to turn it back into winter. And no, I don't live up north. I live in hot, humid lowcountry South Carolina. I like being very warm, below 60°F and I'm wearing long johns. 🔥🤓🍻

65? Mine, last night, was 52 and I still had the fan on. 🤣🤣🤣

Well, I'm mostly from Alaska, so I have the ac cranking out 62 degrees and am only covered by the thinnest blanket I could find. I'm also a Navy Vet so I have a fan going, also pointing at me of course, because on a ship silence equal death. But yea I'm definitely the kind of person the first guy was talking to, and the answer for him is I am climatized to sleep on glaciers so I can't sleep in any amount of heat because my body pumps out heat all night long.

Those youngsters don't know!!

Let's not all ignore the fact that the guy asking the question HAS A FAN ON in the background.

I run a fan to move air, not for the noise. As prior military, I will sleep through any normal noise. The house creaking, TV on, girlfriend running full into the closed bathroom door in the dark on her run for an emergency pee (yes, that happened), cars/trucks on the road, etc. But noise that isn't normal? The dog barking, car pulling into my gravel driveway, front or back door opening, and I will be awake, alert and then able to go back to sleep once I'm sure things are settled. So for all of you that NEED that white noise, and for all of you that can't sleep WITH white noise ..... How do you do it?

I sleep with the tv going and yet I jump out of the bed the second I hear my son make a peep

If I can't have a fan on I'd at least better have a TV or radio on.

They are from venus according to that infernal book. In her defense, she is no longer capable of regulating a nomal human body temperature. Plus side, is that i can store meat in the bedroom if the fridge ever goes out. Our cat even gets under blankets to stay warm now.

I can't have it blowing in my face. It makes me cough.

i have a air purifier with HEPA Filter on while i sleep with the side window open all the time (you need to be a circus acrobat to get to that window)

I can do just fine without the fans/white noise but as long as my window hasn't frozen shut I crack it open throughout the Minnesota winter. If it's above 74° where I'm sleeping it's going to be a bad night for me.

Everyone does it differently. At night I set my AC at 78 in the summer....which here is 11 months out of 12.

Fan on and a 12 hour dark-screen sleep music video on KZfaq while under a heavy duvet

I know exactly when the electricity trips sleep with fan always

It helps with the tinnitus.

You would hate to be at my home, its so quiet here during the winter that the pets electronic water bowls put off so much noise i wear EAR PLUGS.

No air-conditioning, No fan, just my blankets please even during summer. To cold other wise

I sleep with all that and most of the time only a sheet

I have to have a fan year around ❤❤

I've got either a window fan or ac on depending on the season, a tower fan and a box fan. Then I have a 12 hr video of heavy rain hitting a tent or corrugated metal roof. If I lose power I immediately shoot up from my hibernation. But otherwise a 💣 could go off and I'd sleep through it

First thing I did when I bought my current house was put ceiling fans in every room in the house because I am not a savage

Menopause

I think its entirely generational and not planetary at all😂

Here in Ireland during the summer it can reach 73 degrees Fahrenheit. And we die from heat. How do you do it.......

Obviously a person that lives in a cooler climate, or he'd know that, you have the air conditioner on, to cool the house, and the fan on, in order to circulate the air.

By having the blood of a lizard.

Earth🌎😂

FACTS

I'm from planet Texas. We vacation in hell, it's much cooler there.

Yeh nah I can't do fans or AC while I sleep, if people breath to hard it wakes me up

Have you heard of tinnitus?

how? i go until fatigue flat knocks me out. and i wake up too soon, i'm told. ain't braggin. that's just how, is all. your way sounds good too, i reckon.

yep

❤❤

When it comes to me I only have one rule don't touch the fan! I'm 24

💯 %

I just close my eyes and I'm out

Please do not turn the AC to 65. 70 is the very lowest you should go. Thanks

Tennitis 🤦

You guys sleep?

I did it by living in front of train tracks. Every day at 3:30 in the morning, boom goes the train. But thanks to the train, NO ambient noise will wake me. Ambulance, gunshot, all of that noise I can sleep right through. Now TVs, conversation, and a loud car radio will ABSOLUTELY wake me. I need absolute silence to sleep. But fans most certainly help for any number of reasons at night.

Dadbod, if you're running all that insanity just for noise, might I suggest a stereo in your room with a specifically chosen track on loop. Ever since my first deployment I've needed background noise, but not so loud as I can't hear someone prowling downstairs if needed. But I can NOT have it cold And a breeze blowing on me. That will cause me a stiff neck or back. I must have my lower back warm. Just a hair above body temp. But if the rest of me is that warm, I'll sweat. If I were wrapped up like you describe, I'd wake up in a pool. Only time I have fans on is middle of summer. Pfffttt... a/c... and you call yourself GenX...

That low chill in the air with all those throws, blankets, or comforters your choice, creates a hibernatory state which is quite restful.🥱🤗
