The Tiny Fan That Saved My Summer Sleep

Every summer I'd have the same problem. I'd get into bed feeling exhausted, then spend the next hour flipping the pillow over, kicking the blanket off, pulling it back on, and wondering why I couldn't fall asleep.

I kept thinking I needed stronger AC or lighter bedding.

Instead, I bought this tiny bedside fan that barely took up any space.

I honestly didn't expect much from it, but that little thing ended up being my favorite summer purchase. The constant airflow kept me from overheating, and the soft humming noise somehow helped drown out random sounds from outside.

The best part was I stopped waking up sweaty in the middle of the night. I didn't realize how often that was happening until it wasn't anymore.

It's funny because I almost skipped buying it. I figured something that small couldn't possibly make a difference.

Now I pack it anytime I'm traveling in the summer because I've gotten so used to sleeping with it.

Definitely one of those purchases that looked way less impressive than the difference it actually made.

Anybody else have a random bedroom gadget that turned out to be way more useful than you expected?
