$140 Night Sweat Alarm Makes No Sense, Save for Diabetics

There are a lot of weird gadgets out there and a couple of them come in at ridiculously high prices despite all the strong doubts regarding their utility. Some could be used for fun, indeed, while others are simply weird and one should be a bit weird as well to put them to any use. Well, such is the case with one of the strangest things lately: the Night Sweat Alarm; and the name can barely speak for its weirdness.

So, you're probably asking yourselves what's cooking with this alarm device. Well, it will wake you up in case you're sweating during your sleep! We told you it was a weird thing, didn't we?

Now, what's the point in such a contraption? If it weren't for the diabetics, for whom this clock can be a life-saver, we're sure that pretty much everybody would say that all this makes no sense: yet it has been documented that prior to a diabetic seizure, the body tends to sweat a lot, thus giving a warning to the pacient or persons around him/her. In case such a seizure would happen at night, there are sufficient odds that the ill person cannot sense the life-threatening moment approaching and the end could be nasty, even fatal.


The Night Sweat Alarm not only emits a characteristic sound (easy to recognize and hear from another room even while asleep), but it also vibrates. A vibrating alarm bracelet attached to one's arm combined with the high-pitched sound of the audio alarm should wake the diabetic person and pretty much all the other persons in the house; and taking the right medication which prevents the development of a diabetic seizure just before it strickes could easily make the difference between life and death.

If you're one of the lucky guys for whom diabetes does not represent a problem or a life-threatening condition, you might say that $140 is too much for such a gadget; but in case you weren't that fortunate, this money could prove one of the best investments.
