Safe at night

Most nighttime worries come down to a few moments: getting up in the dark, getting out of bed safely, and waking up if an alarm goes off. The tools here help with those moments.

What to look for

Lights that turn on by themselves when someone moves, so nobody walks in the dark.
Bed alerts that chime in the room, and whether they alert only in the room or somewhere else.
Smoke alarms that wake a Deaf or hard of hearing person with a bed shaker and flashing light.
Whether a sleep tracker needs Wi-Fi or a plan.

Questions to ask first

Does the person want this, and when will it be used?
Who hears the alert, and where?
Does it need extra parts, like a bridge or a hub?

Good to know

A bed alert never stops anyone from getting up. It gives someone time to come and help. Test any smoke alarm system each month.
