I thought I was the only one that couldn't sleep without a fan. It started in the 60's growing up in Florida. We didn't have A/C until I was about 16, we had one of those attic fans that sucks air up into the attic. It makes a ton of noise. I've had a fan most of my life, been married 26 years and my wife is hooked also.
About ten years ago we went to Myrtle Beach and stayed at somebody's house and they didn't have a fan, I had to go to Walmart and buy a fan to have while we were there. Now I always take a fan unless we're staying in a motel that I know has one of those A/C units below the front window.
The worse time was when I was in the Army, but then I was either too tired to stay awake or too drunk. When I was in Korea we had the doors and windows open all the time on our quonset hut so I had a mosquito net on my bed. When the weather got cold I was the only one that still had their mosquito net on their bed. I got use to it and couldn't sleep without that net. I think that was my replacement for a fan.
