Any idea as to whether this ionizer will help someone with sleep problems?

Unknown, but also unstudied is the idea that negative ions help with depression. Google it. That worked for me in about three days. Maybe then you can sleep better?

Not soporific, negative ions are stimulant [Robert O'Brien, "Ions---magic in the air", Rotarian, 1960 Oct;4(XCVII):40-41,62-63 https://books.google.com/books?id=ZTcEAAAAMBAJ&pg;=PA40&dq;=negative]. When using a negative-ion generator, I myself experienced for months intractable sleep problems, sleep short and poor, which vanished the very day that I stopped using the negative-ion generator. I never at any other time had especial, protracted sleep problems.

Yes, as soon as I wake up (at this time of year it's still dark at 6 a.m.) I use it and I set the timer for 30 minutes and use the ion thing too. It really wakes me up and gets me going. But I had to change how I use it in the late afternoon when it starts getting dark and gloomy because it was causing me to stay awake at night. So you will have to experiment until you find the right combination that works for you. You should begin with the shortest settings to see how that goes for you. Please read the instruction book that comes with it because people with certain disorders should not use it at all. Good luck!

Don't know anything about the effects of the ionizer feature. Sorry! Using the ionizer feature is optional, though. You can choose to have it on or off.

It is not an ionizer, but it is a powerful fan. I never have to use anything but the lowest speed. See Lasko 2505 36-Inch Remote Control Tower Fan with Ionizer, Black

It just says "electronic Ionizer". I have asthma so don't use that feature to be on the safe side.

Probably will have to replace the switch. worth a try. i have not had this problem. Hope the best for you. i would contact sleep solutions and ask them about he switch. Still should be an easy fix.

I have extreme allergies, live in a mobile home, room slightly larger than recommended for that model and use a Bi-Pap machine for sleep apnea. Sometimes the bad air from others burning wood to keep warm overwhelms both machines. Have been running it at next to max speed, and changing washable air filters. If it is just a matter of cleaning the air in a small space, it will work.

It is not enough to disrupt sleep. We used these when our power went out last winter during an ice storm. They lasted for almost 3 nights with no charge! Great item!

I was an Indiegogo backer of Beddit and as of now I would recommend you save your money. I paid $100 for something that tells me when I went to bed and when I woke up? Really? So far that's all the information I get. Well, I do get an average heartrate during the entire night. Not sure how I would use that information. Unless it registered zero, then I might take some action. Beddit has a LOT of work to do on this.

Thank you all for your responses. Sounds like my Bionaire unit will be good enough. I also have a separate Ionizer that has collection blades - it does its job, clean it with rubbing alc and black gunk gets on the paper towel.

Hey R.Stabler, I did a little research on this Sleep Aid because I have been taking it for a long time, what I found out was it causes your major organs to be sluggish,I also noticed when I take a whole one it gives me a back ache, no doubt it's kidneys, I still take it but I only take half now it seems to work fine.

From what I remember I purchased this one because it did not, I had read on a website that ionizer for asthma is not good. However I will add that I returned this because it began to smell like 'fish'. the Honeywell people said it was due to water getting into the filter. Well I could not figure out what could have happened it was only a week or two so I returned it and decided not to bother with one. My daughter bought one from costco from Blueair that was significantly more money and not ionizer either and she really likes it with no problems.

At first I thought it helped and kept using it for a couple of months. It then was erratic how often I would have to get up at night. I stopped taking it and it and found that it did not affect anything. I am even doing better at night without taking it. Hope this helps.

I only use the device for exercise monitoring, now that you asked about sleep monitoring, Il give that a try.

I think this depends on how loud your TV is and where the TV and fan are located. It is loud enough to give the white noise which helps me sleep at night. Might work for you.

It has an ionizer, but you can choose to use it or not. I'd have to check again, but it seems like it said that it doesn't ionize the air. When I turn on the ionizer, I do not notice any effects as from ionization. I have COPD and Apnea, and ionized air, is supposed to cause problems with those things.

I have two such units even though my condo is only 1088 SQ Ft. due to heavy dust pollution caused by a nearby highway. I get very good results by turning ionizer on midway and the fan on high 24/hours a day. An unexpected side benefit, the ozone kills large palmetto bugs. I also have two large air cleaners which in addition to the two ionizer machines gives a healthy breathing environment.
