I often have a cold or a sore throat when I sleeps over night with a fan or air conditioner which is on pointing directly to my face.

Is it correct to say "don't leave active fans or air conditioners directly facing your face when sleeping"?

I am not sure if "active fans" means "fans that are on or currently running, not in off-state".

    I would describe the fan as running or switched on rather than active.

    I would not use "facing your face", I would use "blowing onto your face" or "blowing air onto your face" or "blowing a draft onto your face". In each the "onto" could be replaced by "at".

'Don't face fans or air-conditioners when sleeping' is more concise. That the equipment is running is understood.
