LeeFisher3 Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Oh, poor Dennis... forced to accept the attention of a fan in place of your wife Maybe you should ask her to blow on you instead? Oh, I hope no one takes that wrong...220197[/snapback]Of all people this will not be lost on Dennis, perhaps he has pictures. Link to comment
jemmyell Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 I agree - a fan is bad. BUT if you must have one, consider buying a timer that will turn it off after you fall asleep.218630[/snapback]Ya, then wake up an hour later sweatin' like a pig.218670[/snapback]I have heard of the danger of fans for sleeping people. Direct blow to an uncovered body is especially harmful. Fan Death218683[/snapback]Hi, The link to that Wiki is for debunking the urban legend of Fan Death in Korea. Not the best source of supporting evidence... -James Link to comment
Joanne Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 I have always heard that sleep with a fan directly blowing on you is not good for health. I even heard problem caused to my friend's sweden husband who didn't believe it and was convinced by his own experience. I buy this advice. However when I tried to find some theory to this claim, I just found the opposite: http://health.yahoo.com/experts/depression...giene-has-a-fan I suggest a med student taking this topic as a good research project.

ameriken Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Oh man! July in Shang hai. I ask Jie what the temp was in her apartment last night. Mmmm... 27 C She said she will wear more clothes, and give me " cold hotel " Now that I think about it, Hmmm, more clothes is the opposite direction I want to go. I just love the window unit AC. Just like burning the back of my legs with the Dearborn heater in the winter. I miss the old Swamp Coolers also. 219880[/snapback]How well do I know what you mean! I remember she almost never used the AC/heat in Shanghai, except when I was there. In summer there, I always put the AC at its lowest setting of 16. In Colorado, our townhome doesnt have AC, so I have a window fan on my side of the bed which blows all night. Considering how Colorado can be 90's in the day, and 60's in the night, I use the window fans to cool the house at night, then close the windows in the morning, and while it does get warm, it is bearable.

Though all these fans have reversing switches on them, not many use or know how to use them. In summer, when it's hot, you can set the fan so that it draws cold air up to the ceiling. If you don't know which way that is light a match and blow it out with the fan running. The smoke will be drawn the direction of the fan. In winter, you can force the warm air trapped on the ceiling downward toward the floor where your tootsies are cold. Proper use of ceiling fans can significantly reduce your utility bill.

esun41 Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 I nearly lost my right hand today turning on the Air Conditioner. It has been in the mid 90's here in California and it gets down right stuffy in our small place. We have the air set at 82 but with no breeze, it is uncomfortable for me. I made the mistake of trying to turn on the air... thought I was a goner!!! (She's little but kicks like a mule) Link to comment
