I usually keep a fan running during the night, mostly for the white noise (and to help drown out other noise in the house at times) and in the summer months to keep the room a bit cooler. I haven't had a problem with it and find that if I go without a fan after using one for some time, it can get difficult to sleep sometimes. It just depends. I don't know how I feel about all the claims of electricity affecting people, but I do believe that all of the energy used around us can influence our bodies to some extent. I don't know how much (probably not to a huge extent), but I wonder how my life would be different if I didn't live near power lines all the time.

Not necessarily. Have you ever fallen asleep, had a good long dream, awoken, and then found that only a few minutes had passed? That's happened to me a number of times (usually when I sleep in in the morning) as well as to other people. Time doesn't match up 100% in dreams, so you could have a long dream even if you do wake up a number of times during the night.
If you want to try and alter your sleep schedule, you could try setting your alarm clock to wake you up perhaps only four or five times during the night. I'm assuming that if you get used to waking up at specific times, you train your body when to sleep and when to wake up, especially if you have a steady sleep schedule (sleeping and waking around the same times each night on a regular basis). If you want, you can try it, but only if you feel the need to change your sleep schedule.
