My 2nd secret assignment as a rookie cop was really a challenge. A select few of us were planted inside a college to bust the sons of an exonerate human trafficker and their abettors. They were small-time crooks dealing in information theft but the finish objective, to be certain, was to get to their dad.
One time a pest infestation set our neighborhood supplies back, it gave my small fruit farm an opportunity. I had been capable of making a bit of income, as well as the same time really come in handy. Only, my farm got marked by delinquents that would often trespass on my property and swipe the produce here and there.
At some time, all of us have become drowsy while driving, and many of us have even gone to sleep. It's an eerie feeling; often one awakes without realizing he or she was asleep, except that there is no memory of the last mile of two of highway traveled. When this happens, the best thing a driver can do is pull off the road and get some sleep, but this is often not immediately possible. That is why all distance drivers should carry a Nap Alarm and deploy it as needed.
This is one of those radical concepts that is so simple and logical that we wonder why we haven't seen these devices years ago. Also referred to as a sleep alarm or anti-drowsy alarm, a Nap Alarm is a compact, lightweight unit powered by tiny batteries. It is worn by slipping it on around one ear, which leaves the ear exposed and hearing unhindered. When the head nods - the first sign of falling asleep at the wheel - an electronic sensor notes the change of angle and sets off a small, strident personal alarm, just loud enough to ensure that wearer/driver and any passengers come wide awake.
We fall asleep while driving partly because of fatigue, but also because various vibrations are sleep-inducing at steady frequencies. This is why it can happen so quickly. A Nap Alarm can increase drive security and peace of mind two-fold, because the driver does not have to be the sole judge of whether he or she is becoming drowsy. We can let the machine decide. After all, it's not a bit sleepy!
Owning a Nap Alarm will not turn us into endurance racers. The alarms are designed to save lives, not to replace sleep itself. As soon as yours goes off, start looking for an exit, have someone else drive or take other appropriate measures. These devices can also be used by people whose jobs require that they maintain 100% alertness under difficult circumstances. Examples of these are machine and heavy equipment operators (vibration again) and security guards. Now that we all know about these alarms, and especially at a retail price of less than ten dollars, it's hard to find an excuse not to own one.
