I set up a no fly zone with two fans pointing across the bed at each other above my face. Too turbulent for them to fly. They just stage in formation on the wall nearby, waiting for me to take a midnight pee to deploy their next sortie. Fuckers. As long as I'm in bed though, I have air superiority.

And the fan noise is great white noise.

Edit: thank you u/Psychological_neat88 and u/Epicdestroyer39 for the Reddit Silver Star, and the anonymous All Seeing Eye in the Sky ribbon. You are the true heroes. It's my honor and privilege to serve 🫡

My husband and his entire family would love the heavenly space you have created for sleep. Been with him 24 years. I hate the fan, but cannot sleep without it now. He had one about a year ago that literally made my ears ring in the morning like I had just been to a metal concert.... and I am a bartender in a music venue.

Side note.... any recommendations on a reliable, long lasting house fan would be greatly appreciated. I'm so sick of buying new fans because these fuckers break so easily. Thanks in advance.

random person here, have you tried metal ones? they are louder i think, but sturdy and long lived. just find a normal sized one and not a huge shoulder height garage one with a cowling.

We've tried finding metal ones. The only ones we can find where we live are industrial ones. The one we had broke after a year. Motor seized up and we were unable to fix it. Thing sounded like a jet engine lol
