How bad is a ceiling fan to a chinese hamster?

I just bought a chinese hamster the other day. And she's doing great, we bought her one of those little igloos so she can hide/sleep in, I always have the ceiling fan on and I was wondering, does this harm the hamster? I know they're not suppose to be exposed to "drafts" but I've read a few articles on how the igloos can help them.

Any 2nd, 3rd, or 4th opinions would be great!
Thanks a lot.

Hamsters like warm environments, but not too warm, as they are prone to overheating. I do recommend keeping him out of a direct draft, so having areas that he can get away from the wind would be a good option.
