Default Ceiling Fans

Does anyone have a ceiling fan in their bedroom, right above the bed, and
if so, do you recommend it?

I am thinking about installing a fan above my bed, but would like some
feedback first. Is it noisy, does the air blow directly onto your face,
and does it make you feel uneasy with the blades spinning above your head?

Many thanks.

Pay the money, get a good one and you won't hear it, or barely so. I have a
Hampton Bay (Home Depot house brand) and it's very quiet. What I
reeeeeeeally like about it is the remote control. -that- is a must-have.
Fan and light control (it's even a dimmer, even though the wall switch is
just on/off) all in one unit you can reach without having to sit up & pull a
chain.

The only thing I don't like about it is the lack of a thermostat. If I
could, I'd hook it up to a t-stat so that when it gets cold enough by the
bed, it would shut off. A timer would also work.
