Still has to do her own snoring. But in this contrivance, a radio cuts off in twelve-minute periods if the girl goes to sleep; a hypnotone induces sleep; a thermostat closes the windows if it is chilly; another turns on a fan if it is hot; a switch enables the sleeper to talk to anyone outside the door by means of a loud speaker; another turns it off automatically; and an alarm clock cannot be turned off unless the sleeper gets out of bed.
