Using a fan at night is often seen as a simple and effective way to stay cool and comfortable while sleeping. However, for some people, it can actually disrupt sleep rather than improve it. While fans are generally harmless, certain factors can make them less conducive to restful sleep. Let’s explore why using a fan at night might interfere with your sleep and how to address these issues.
