Dan had not been sleeping well for a long time.
The issue had become chronic. His health was taking a toll.
A doctor friend suggested that Dan start turning off the circuit breakers at night to lower the EMFs in his sleep area.
He decided to give it a try.
The first night, he went out to the circuit breaker panel and started manually turning off the circuit breakers that were in the circuits around his bed.
“I went to sleep that night and had one of the best nights of sleep I’ve had in months.”
Despite, night after night continuing to enjoy blissful sleep, Dan was skeptical as to why, with just one small change, his sleep had suddenly improved so radically.
He’d worked around in the aerospace industry and with a lot of high energy microwave radiation and he just couldn’t see how doing something so simple could have such a profound effect.
He wanted to know more.
His doctor friend gave him a couple of books and he started researching electromagnetic fields and health.
Once he started understanding the biological health concerns and what sleeping in a non-natural EMF environment does to our melatonin levels, he began to understand what was going on.
But he saw some flaws with the fact that every morning and evening, he had to go to manually turn the circuit breakers on and off.
The two issues he saw right away were 1) that circuit breakers are not designed to be switches, and 2) the pure inconvenience of having to manually do this every day.
“If it was something that I was going to have to do every night and have to go out into the cold basement, it wasn’t something I was going to be able to continue to do.”
That was the genesis.
Dan decided to build an automated device to do all this.
