Hey Shakes - Oh yeah - some prefer windo open. Fan keep out noise & help adjust temp in room that's overly cool & over-heats.

The constant whirring of a fan is very relaxing for some people. I am a big thinker.....when I go to bed I seem to start thinking of all sorts of things and it doesnt matter how tired I am, my over active mind can stop me from sleeping. When its quiet and all you have are your thoughts, then it is very loud, and sometimes you need a distraction. A noise, whether it be the whirring of a fan or some music is the distraction that some people need to get them off to sleep. I used to live near a railroad station and the noise of the trains rattling along would put me to sleep. A lot of people would probably find the noise distracting, but it had the opposite effect with me....it allowed me to hear something louder than my thoughts.

i don't have an exact answer, but i do it while i sleep.
i don't like the quiet, i do the same thing in the shower cuz i keep the fan on even though the water is running. i also like the fan on because it keeps the air moving in my room. it doesn't get to stuffy in my room that way.
i don' t have a psychological reason though.

Because for some, it soothes them.
For some people, it's the sound of the ocean, brooks, or river. For others, it might be music.
I like my window open, even in the dead of winter, because i live next to the ocean, and I love the sounds at night. :-) I hope that helped.

Because, some people get so used to it in the summer, that if they turned it off in the winter they couldn't sleep.

If your neighbors are loud BU students , then that noise helps drown out the creaming and shouting

I use it to mask tinnitus (sound in the ears/head), as well as to drown out noises outside the room, such as the neighbor's car, the other neighbor's dog, etc.

Because I get hot flashes in the middle of the night and plus it moves the air around. Plus it blows my husbands beer farts back at him!
