Progress Report: Fan Speed Negotiation

Reporting Period: 10:47pm to 11:38pm Subject: Fan Speed Negotiation, ongoing


10:47pm: Initial State

Fan is on. Fan is on speed two. Speed two is the speed the fan is usually on. The room feels fine. Sleep is approximately imminent.


10:52pm: First Adjustment

Speed two is slightly loud. The sound is not disruptive. It is, however, more present than preferred. Fan is adjusted to speed one.

Speed one is quieter. Speed one is also, now that it is running, insufficient for temperature management. The room was fine on speed two. Speed one is warm.

Minutes near sleep are exempt from normal arithmetic whenever fan speed negotiation is involved.


10:59pm: Second Adjustment

Fan returned to speed two. This was the correct setting. The correct setting was abandoned and has now been re-confirmed.


11:08pm: Third Adjustment

Speed two is, at this hour, generating a draft that targets one specific area. The fan is angled away. The draft is now absent. The cooling is also now absent.


11:14pm: Fourth Adjustment

Fan angle adjusted. Temperature is good. Sound is slightly wrong.


11:19pm: Fifth Adjustment

Speed one again. Brief trial. Abandoned.


11:27pm: Sixth Adjustment

Speed two. Angle from 11:08 retained. This is the original speed with a modified angle. This is approximately the position the fan was in at 10:47pm.

The attempt to optimize sleep becomes the main reason sleep starts late.


11:38pm: Status

Fan is on speed two. Angle is modified from original position. Room temperature is acceptable. The adjustment process has concluded for tonight, absent further data.

The person runs climate control from bed one fan level at a time.

Sleep has not yet occurred. The process created the conditions for sleep. The conditions are now present. Sleep should follow.

11:39pm: Speed two is fine. This is fine.
