Description

The source provides an extensive overview of the seemingly innocuous habit of sleeping with a fan on, examining both its popular appeal and its significant hidden health drawbacks. While acknowledging that fans offer benefits like cooling, white noise, and cost-effectiveness, the text argues that nightly use can negatively impact health by circulating allergens and dust, causing sinus irritation and dryness in the skin, eyes, and throat, and even leading to muscle stiffness. The source specifically warns that allergy sufferers and infants are most vulnerable to these issues. Finally, the episode suggests several healthier alternatives, such as using air purifiers, humidifiers, cooling bedding, and dedicated white noise machines, to maintain comfort without compromising respiratory health or sleep quality.
