On those hot nights when the sheets feel like an oven and the air seems to be motionless, the fan becomes a best friend for many. 🌬️🔥 With the touch of a button, that constant breeze gives us almost magical relief… but it could also be affecting your health without you even realizing it. 😮

Sleeping with the fan on all night is a very common habit, but have you ever wondered if it’s really safe? In this article, we’ll tell you everything you should know before continuing to blindly trust that nocturnal twist. 💡😉

💨 What can causing a fan to run all night?

1. Extreme dryness in the nose, mouth, and throat 😖

That seemingly refreshing breeze can also dry out your mucous membranes. And when that happens, your nose and throat are left unprotected against viruses, bacteria, and allergies. If you wake up with a dry mouth or a scratchy throat, the culprit could be swirling around your head.

2. Circulation of invisible dust and allergens 🌫️🤧

Even if you clean your room, the fan moves the air… and with it, dust, mites, and even pet hair. All of this goes straight into your nose while you sleep. If you have allergies or asthma, using a fan for long hours can trigger sneezing, congestion, and poor sleep.

3. Muscle aches upon waking 🥴
