Why experts don’t always recommend sleeping with a fan on

Has anyone else noticed that it’s a little… warm right now? Like, really warm? And for many, this deep humidity can have a major impact on sleep – after all, having a bedroom that’s part-snooze station and part-sauna can be pretty uncomfortable. The obvious solution for sleeping in the heat? A fan! Right? Erm, unfortunately (and we hate to be the ones to break this to you) some experts are actually warning against sleeping with a fan on.

According to Sleep Advisor, sleeping with a fan on might not always be a great idea for health-related reasons, as although having a fan on will circulate air to make your room cooler and fresher, it can also circulate pollen and dust. Which isn’t ideal if you suffer from allergies, asthma or hay fever (which has also ramped up for many at this time of year).

“Take a close look at your fan,” the Sleep Advisor suggests. “If it’s been collecting dust on the blades, those particles are flying through the air every time you turn it on.”

Other reasons not to sleep with a fan on include the fact that it can dry out your skin, as well as your nasal passages, and if your nasal passages become too dry, Sleep Advisor warns that the body can produce excess mucous, making you feel all bunged up come morning time. Not ideal…

And then there’s muscle cramping. “People who sleep with a breeze directly on them may wake up with stiff or sore muscles. This is because the concentrated cool air can make muscles tense up and cramp,” the experts explain. “This problem is especially common for people who sleep with it near their face and neck. If you’ve been waking up with a stiff neck in the morning, it might be because of the constant breeze.”

On the flip-side, the article does point out that fans in the bedroom can work well for people as provide comforting white noise to help people drift off to sleep when it’s stuffy.

But if you’re prone to allergies, it could be worth trying other options like a cool flannel in a bowl of water near your bed, or sleeping on top of the covers with the window open. Happy sweating either way, folks!

Unleash Your Inner Child at the Theme Park!

Although theme parks are typically thought of as places for kids, adults may also have a great time and make priceless memories there. Allow me to tell you a touching tale about a father and daughter who had a very unique experience with Disney World’s magic.

While Dan and his daughter Lyla, six, were strolling through the park, they happened upon a piano and a gifted musician. Lyla declared with pride that her father could also play the instrument as they listened to the music. They had no idea that this innocuous comment would set off an incredible performance.

Music teacher Justin acknowledged that while singing was not his strongest instrument, playing the piano was. Motivated by Lyla and the pianist, Justin assumed the spotlight and initiated an unplanned performance. He held the attention of everyone in the vicinity with the melancholic chords of “Ave Maria.” People were so drawn to his voice that they stopped in their tracks. Flashing cameras recorded this amazing moment. Justin would never forget that day.

Lyla was ecstatic beyond measure. “He sang it out loud and almost everyone took a video of him,” she proudly told local media. Lauren, Justin’s wife, was also astounded by the compelling production her husband created. The audience erupted in deafening ovation at the grand finale, expressing gratitude for this surprise performance.

Justin had no idea that this spontaneous act would make him a household name on the internet. His enthralling performance was captured on camera, which went viral and received thousands of views and favorable comments from people all around the world. Though Justin never anticipated becoming famous, he loved being well-known.

As he considered his newfound fame, Justin modestly told a local newspaper, “It’s beyond what I ever could have dreamed.” For grownups like Justin, Disney World—which is renowned for its enchanted experiences—proved to be equally captivating.

Thus, don’t be afraid to embrace the unexpected and let your inner child go the next time you visit a theme park. One never knows, perhaps you’ll make lifelong memories. Talk about this endearing tale with your loved ones. Love and tranquility are, after all, meant to be shared.
