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!

JENNIFER GREY REVEALS THE REGRETS SHE HAS ABOUT PATRICK SWAYZE

‘Dirty Dancing’ will likely always be hailed as one of the greatest movies of all time, remaining beloved by fans worldwide even decades after its release.

The late Patrick Swayze soared to new heights of fame with his iconic role in the film, while his co-star Jennifer Grey continues to honor the legacy he left behind.

Jennifer Grey’s name is synonymous with her portrayal of “Baby” in the 1987 romantic drama ‘Dirty Dancing,’ earning her legions of fans and admirers worldwide.

The film unfolds at a vacation resort where Frances “Baby” and her family are staying, showcasing the blossoming romance between a rebellious dance instructor portrayed by Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey’s character, ‘Baby.’

Despite the fervent hopes of thousands of fans for a sequel, Grey has made it clear that a sequel may never come to fruition. She expressed her dedication to honoring Patrick’s legacy and the fans’ connection to the original film, emphasizing the importance of getting it right.

In later interviews, Grey shared insights into the filming experience, revealing that while she and Swayze lacked on-screen chemistry, their bodies “really liked each other.”

In April 2022, Lionsgate announced at Cinemacon that a ‘Dirty Dancing’ sequel was in development, sparking excitement among fans.

During an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, Grey provided further details about the upcoming sequel, promising a blend of sex, music, and, of course, dancing.

Grey insisted that the sequel must meet her standards of perfection, and confirmed the return of some original cast members, noting that “Baby” is now much older and that the film will introduce new characters from the original.

She emphasized that there will be no attempt to replace Patrick Swayze’s character, Johnny Castle, stating that his portrayal was unique and irreplaceable.

Patrick Swayze passed away in 2009 at the age of 57 after battling pancreatic cancer for 20 months. Despite their differences, Grey expressed regret over not fully appreciating Swayze during their time together, honoring his memory in her autobiography.

Grey’s unwavering dedication to preserving Swayze’s memory and her commitment to her future projects are met with love and support from fans worldwide.
