Instead, he should get a smoke detector that plays a recorded message in a parent's voice -- they're astonishingly effective. Kids *will*not* sleep through Mom's voice saying "Jason, get up!

Are you sure he doesn't need a sleep study? That sounds/reads unreal. I would hope there is nothing wrong with the kid. -- Best regards Han email address is invalid |

All you need is a commercial mains/battery operated central system. There are availble 120db sirens for such systems. NO-ONE sleeps through that. |

I've got one that has a light built in. Maybe right over his

Smoke detectors cost around three bucks. Buy six of 'em.
And remind everybody else sleeping in the house to rescue him if he doesn't wake up. |

Tbird is still sending direct, no matter how slow and careful I am about picking the right selection! They sell adaptive technology smoke alarms/repeaters for hearing impaired folks, with a strobe light and even a vibrating plate to put under the pillow. Mebbe you could replace your friends smoke alarms with the fancy hardwired ones that also listen for their siblings and go off in sympathy, and mount one on his headboard. But anyone past toddler age that sleeps so soundly that it is difficult to wake them, needs medical evaluation, starting with a hearing test. I kind of envy him- I wish I could sleep on airplanes- but there won't always be others around to wake him when needed. -- aem sends... |

Sears used to make an AC powered smoke detector that could not only wake the dead, but make 'em sit up and cover their ears in pain! My ex BIL had one mounted in the bedrooms hallway and it once went off while I was in said hallway. I damn near had a heart attack, it was so loud. Literally knocked me back against the wall. It had to be mounted within 10 ft of an AC outlet or hardwired into house wiring. nb |

But when the alarm stops making noise, is it then "on"? OK, you did see the ;-) right? That's a smirk, as if I'm joking. Just a long fought over question in the American English language.

My roommate is upset because his dog likes me better than she likes him. I usually wake up to find the little critter in my lap or curled up next to me in some fashion. The only problem is that she will often start barking at a noise at 3:00am and it's like a hand grenade going off in my lap. She's too cute to be mean to or throw against the wall. ^_^ TDD |
