How come i wake up with a sinus headache after sleeping with a ceiling fan on?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Couple possibilities: The ceiling fan may be drying out your nose and sinuses causing discomfort in the morning or possibly the fan is dusty or is blowing around allergens that are irritating you.
