Why would you want your smoke detectors only working part time? |

i suffer from extreme sleep deprivation and insomnia and ive read several places where RF fields can disrupt your natural sleep cycle. befoe i go to bed i am taking the batteries out of them and turning the main power off where are the breakers are, guess this is a fuse box? starting to sleep a little better. i wanted one with a timer so it would save me all this time. |

My guess is that neither such device exists...and probably for good reasons. |

kudos:1 | I smell troll, but what you're wanting a smoke detector to do is exactly counterpoint to the reason they were created.
So I go w/ cdru ...doesn't exist, and trolls don't need them under their bridges! |

and turning the main power off where are the breakers are, guess this is a fuse box? starting to sleep a little better. If you have no electrical devices on in your bedroom when you sleep, there would be no descernible RF field near you...or at least no more or less then if you turn off your main. It would be similar to saying that a garden hose with a closed off nozzle and the water turned on is affecting you. If there is no flow (current), there is no RF field.
You feel better because you want to feel better, not because the electrical wiring has a negative effect on you. |

I'm sorry, but when you're sleeping is exactly the time you want your smoke detectors working! The whole point is to wake you up so you can get the heck out before you get burnt to a crispy critter. |

I suspect that disabling smoke detectors, even on a temporary regular basis, is against the law.
If the smoke detector is in your room, move it outside into the hallway but not so far as to where it can't be heard. And if you think RF fields are causing sleep deprivation, move the electronic stuff out of your room. If that doesn't help, call a certified electrician. AND if that doesn't help, you should seek medical assistance to diagnose your condition. |

What are these "sources" that tell you that "RF fields" interfere with your sleep?
Nevermind that radio and television signals are an order of magnitude more powerful even within your home than any battery-operated appliance. |

Unless there is something seriously wrong with your smoke detector it should not be giving off any RF field that could even be measured 10 feet away. |

Use the heavy duty, thicker, foil for your hat. It keeps the rays out better. 
Seriously, smoke alarms create no RF fields, nor would normal background strength RF fields have any effect on sleep. See a doctor for a referral to a sleep clinic. |

And the original poster should also remember that signals from cellphones and cellphone towers are all pervasive, and are passing through us all the time.
All sorts of signals are in the air, all the time. A 9v battery is nothing in comparison.

Disabling a smoke alarm is pretty dumb. And I say this as someone who has lived through a fire. |

As a systems designer of fire alarm systems, this is the most profound and idiotic post I have ever read.
Lady sleep in a fracking tin foil hat, that will keep the voices at bay.

This is so retarded it's hilarious. I think you should wrap yourself up in a huge aluminum foil blanket at night with a matching hat. |

This is a horribly bad idea.
It might also make you liable in the event of a fire. |
