So I am a violent sleeper. I toss and turn constantly and by the state of my deranged covers in the morning I also do snow angels in my sleep. I once woke up with my head where my feet were when I want to bed.
Point is, I move, alot. And this wasn't quite so apparent until I spent a night in Burgundy in a 16th century property renovated to retain many of it's original features such as the old oak beams and exposed stone walls. And motion sensored lighting over the bathroom mirror?
Did they have motion sensored lighting in the 16th century? I doubt it but that's not what bothered me. What bothered me was that my bed happened to be within motion sensoring range of said lights. So basically every time I moved they would switch on.
Now in a conscious state of mind I knew the trick to this was to keep completely still until I fell asleep and didn't notice. Unfortunately every time I nodded off, I would be back to my body shifting, limb moving ways and *click* the light would shine brightly in my direction effectively waking me up.
Will myself still, nodd off, *click*. Rinse and repeat.
Exhausted from my day of a long luxurious lunch accompanied by wine + a long luxurious dinner accompanied by more wine, the best I could come up with to do was to turn 180 degrees so that my head was shelded by the partial wall.
Is there a facebook I hate motion sensor lighting page? Because I'd like to become a fan.
