Sleep expert Martin Seeley, CEO of MattressNextDay (UK), said there are "some disadvantages" to sleeping with a fan on overnight, as follows:

Allergy and asthma triggers: Fans circulate air in a room, but also stir up dust mites, spores, pollen, and other allergens.

This can lead to symptoms such as sneezing, watery eyes, runny nose, itchy throat and difficulty breathing.

Regularly cleaning fan blades or considering using an air-purifying fan can help reduce allergies.

Staying hydrated by drinking at least 2 liters of water a day can help combat nasal congestion and headaches while sleeping with the fan on.

Stuffy nose: Sleeping with a fan on all night can dry out the air, causing your body to produce more mucus to retain water. This can lead to stuffy noses, sinus headaches, and other discomfort.

Staying hydrated by drinking at least 2 liters of water a day can help combat this problem.

Dry eyes and irritation: Dry air from fans can lead to dry eyes and eye irritation.

Leave the fan on oscillation for better air circulation.

Muscle pain: For people with muscle pain, sleeping with a fan on can make the pain worse.

Pointing a fan at a sore muscle can cause muscle tension and cramping, leading to more discomfort, says Seeley.
