Been sleeping that way for over 40yrs, summer, winter, always. The cumulative effect must be enormous, I probably only have a few days to live:(

Although I may have special emunities:confused:

somehow I don't think you got off scot free...

they mean.. when you sleep.. if you have the fan directly pointed towards you and not rotating

lol in the middle of summer ive had 2 fans pointed on me while i slept. this was for maybe like a month.

one at the top of the head fixed, other one rotating over my body on my left side (sweeping from head to foot)

thank you for the 2 step proof disproving this...i wasn't sure if it was true or false until I read your amazing disproof of it. :thumbsup:
