Think I’ve broken my boyfriend slightly… now that the nights are cooler, I haven’t been turning the fan on to sleep with and suddenly he’s having awful sleep. Last night it was a bit warmer, so I turned it back on and he slept so well. White noise ftw!

This story was not as provocative as I thought it was going to be after the first sentence.

I have my google home/nest mini thing on my bedside table which I stream noise through when I don’t want to use my fan. That helps me. I often listen to rain storm sounds but there’s one track which usually gives me pretty vivid dreams open.spotify.com/track/0YTKlaMszVp6rja34CzUDs?si=…

I turn my fan on regardless of season, because I can’t sleep otherwise. If it’s cold, I just face it away from me and keep it on the lowest speed.

  I think I’m going to need to be doing this! We’ve moved into a house that might almost be “too quiet” for him to sleep without it anyway! I love having the fan on anyway because it makes snuggling easier!

Could you buy a little desk top one to sit on the bedside table?

If you or he have an iPhone there’s an option in settings to play various types of background noise, including white noise

If you want some noise without the fan you can get phone apps to play white noise. I use one called “sleep sounds” which lets you mix different types of sounds to make something you like - I use natural sounds which includes things like running water, rain and wind sounds as well as things like frog and bird noises if you want. You can also do things like train or city noises. You can mix in different things and vary the volume of different components to get something you like. It’s free to use (a small cost if you want to remove ads).
