I am the kind of person who has trouble falling asleep without the sound of a fan on. The sounds is just hypnotizing to me and without it I truly have the hardest time falling asleep.
Right now I have a standing fan on the floor on the opposite side of my bedroom and its pointed away from my bed while it is on. My problem is that I just get way to cold with it sometimes and I also think maybe its bad for my health to have the air flowing through my room when it is so chilly.
I have heard of machines that make fan noises but without the actual fan but I dont remember where I saw it or where to start looking for it.
Does anyone know about this machine (what it is and where to buy it) or have the same problem so that they can offer suggestions for me?

I have the same problem. At the moment I just turn on the fan over the kitchen stove -- it's close enough to where I sleep that I can hear it. I used to have one of those white noise machines. It was a little round white box, about 3" by 6", and all it did was make various levels of noise that sounded like a fan. My wife bought it. She says they are available in many places -- she even suggested an office supply store. Do some googling and you'll come up with lots of choices.

Have you tried to fall asleep to any other sounds, other than a fan? I had a terrible time trying to fall asleep too, until I bought a nature CD. Some of the sounds are waterfalls, babbling brooks, thunder and rain or birds singing softly. If you're a nature lover, you'll love these to fall asleep to. My daughter knows how much I love my nature CD, so for Christmas she bought me one with whale and dolphin songs ... I love it. Give it a try. I used to stay awake for hours, tossing ... turning and thinking. Now, I'm asleep within 15 minutes. Good luck, I hope everything goes well. :)

I think it's a terrible waste of electricity to have a fan or any other machine going all night!!! Perhaps you could find a CD of relaxing sounds (you can get nice rainforest ones that don't have any music) or tune your radio into a classical station or between stations if it makes a fan-like noise! Good luck!

Something you might want to try is a cd with the sounds of the ocean on it. It's a repetitive sound, like a fan, so it might help you. I go to sleep like that, but for some people they have to pee after listening to it. Good luck :)

maybe it is just the sound. turn off the fan and try the radio or something that sounds familiar to you. a train track

The air quality in your room is probably poor and charged with "positive ions" you should get a "negative ion machine"

Yes, they are called whitenoise machines. Some of them come equipped to make all sorts of noises from rainshowers to streams to night noises.

get a really small fan, so you will have the sound without the breeze
