Is it better to put the fan at the foot or on the side when sleeping?

In the summer, people often turn on the fan while sleeping. Even when there is air conditioning, people often turn on more fans to circulate air. However, few people know if it is better to put the fan at the foot, side, or on the ceiling when sleeping? Let's find out in the article below to get the answer.

When the fan is placed directly on the body, the moisture in the mouth and nose will be removed by the wind. In addition, dust on the fan will also fly into people, which can also cause allergic diseases.

Turning on the fan in the air-conditioned room while sleeping, the cold air blowing directly into the body overnight will cause muscle spasms, leading to pain in the morning. The area exposed to the fan will be colder than the rest of the body, affecting the blood circulation inside the body, which can even lead to facial nerve paralysis.

Therefore, there is no correct answer to the question 'is it better to sleep with the fan at your feet or on your side, on the ceiling?'.

How to turn on the fan correctly when sleeping

1. Place the fan in a position that can rotate and disperse the wind throughout the room.
2. If you put a fan at the foot of the bed, keep it at a distance of at least 2m, avoiding the fan blowing on your face or head.

The position of the fan to turn on when sleeping is very important, everyone should understand to protect the health and safety of themselves and their families. Don't forget to clean the fan regularly to keep it clean.
