Like A Cool Summer Breeze

Does this person never leave their room? Why run the fan when the room isn't occupied? That's just wasted electricity...
A fan blowing in an unoccupied room can help ventilate the entire house?

Are we assuming open windows or something? Either way, I've never seen ceiling fans used for ventilation, only for the same purpose as a floor fan, blowing air at you so you can cool down. Is ventilation a common use case in some places?

I have central air in my apartment that has no on/off switch. I have to flip the right breaker if I want that fan to shut off. It does feel completely unnecessary at times.

Box fan, in the window, pointing out. Very common, there's one going in my house right now. Yes it is full of hair and shit.

I had a fan that ran for years but when I turned it off it wouldn’t turn back on again.

Yeah I was picturing a window fan, not a ceiling far too.

I have a small air circulator, not a "fan," and it is perfect for a 10x10 foot bedroom on low. Plus, it's super easy to take apart and clean. I've had this thing for more than 20 years.

But I want a rush of air directly pointed into my face as I sleep

It does that! The only real difference between an air circulator and a generic fan is that it pushes more air. The low setting on this thing is as good as high on most other fans of the same size.

Because when I'm not there my great Pyrenees likes to jump onto my bed and sleep directly in front of it as well while I'm at work.

This is an Iranian guy who lived in a hole, smoked camel turds, and supposedly never took a bath his whole life.
Just a little internet trivia as I haven't seen this pic in like 15 years.
If I recall he died not long after he actually finally did take a bath.

Just so you know, breakers are not on/off switches. Turning them on/off like that is awful for them, they degrade every time they're tripped. The result of it is, best case, everything on the circuit eventually get destroyed because it's doing weird shit to the electricity going through it because of a bad connection. Worst case scenario is that it can no longer trip when it should and your entire neighborhood burns down.

Ah good to know. I don't actually use them as off/on switches because I don't fully understand the systems. But I really appreciate the response because bad decisions involving electricity is not a good mix. Thanks man.

No problem, thanks for being receptive!
Modern day breakers are better about failing safe than they used to be, but... still not an intended use, and all it takes it one bad roll of the dice and everyone gets to have a Bad Day. Hence me viewing them, much like you, as things Not To Mess With Unless Needed.
