My wife picked this up for me when I started the graveyard shift. Well the first week I wore it I was driving home, and you know how you get that feeling that you are awake when really you are just dozing off?? Well I woke up to the Nap Alarm warning me that I was falling asleep!!!

If it had not been for the Nap Alarm, I would have definitely been in the ditch with damage to my car...or worse!!!!

This DriveAlert product is fabulous!!! I had tried everything imaginable to keep my elderly mothers head from falling forward and throwing out her neck adjustment when she inevitably dozes off to sleep in front of the T.V. each evening. This neat little unit alerts her to the fact that she indeed is dozing off again and keeps her awake. Prior to this, she would argue that she never falls asleep sitting up. Now she knows better and sleeps better during the night in bed as she isn't napping all evening.

I did have trouble with her little ears being unable to hold it without falling off. So I took one of her old sets of glasses, punched out the lenses, and electrical taped it to the frame infront of her right ear. Now all she has to do is turn it on and put on her old frames.

i tried using it last week for a five hour travel at night and when i got sleepy while driving the nap alert make annoying sound straight to my ears and woke me up just when my head starts to lower and i'm about to sleep. i highly recommend it for those who are driving for long hours and for those who works in a graveyard shift. the only thing is when it's on your ears you should be straight focus on the road beacuse everytime you try to reach and grab for something and move your head at a certain angle the nap alert sounds on.

This is a very simple and cheaply made product but surprisingly effective. Yes it does really surprises you. I don't use this for driving. I use this for my meditation, to keep myself staying on the very long, narrow, and winding path to enlightenment. Actually, not sure if this really helps my meditation but it's almost embarrassing/humbling to know how many times I get startle awoken by this device in one sitting. It's really LOUD so it really startles me awake and for a moment I always have no idea where I am, what I am doing and why I was awoken. Well, well...

I purchased this for my father, who is a long distance truck driver. This gadget does what it says it'll do! Plus, we all feel more at ease knowing it'll wake him up if he starts to dose off. And as a previous reviewer commented - it'll go off if you're simply reaching for something, which is only a minor issue. Definitely worth the money!

The nap alarm works if your head turns down when you fall asleep. My head doesn't turn down, it stays upright, so it doesn't work for me. I imagine it will work for some people.

Item arrived with a dead battery. When replaced and turned on, it was VERY difficult to find a position that turned on the alarm (impossible with just the movement of a head tilt). Could have just been a dud out of the batch, but didn't bother returning/replacing it to find out being that the cost was so minimal in the first place and item was purchased more as a functional gag gift.

I was surprised when I opened mine to replace the battery to find that it contained a liquid mercury glass switch, but had no warning label. (Is that even legal?)

If yours breaks, DO NOT throw it in the trash.

I've never fallen asleep at the wheel, but I like driving with this at night, for extra safety. (If I feel sleepy, I pull over somewhere safe, grab the space blanket in my emergency kit, and go to sleep.)

Driver Alert Nap Alarm should be a standard safety installation in every automobile!!! After my husband totalled our car by falling asleep driving, he will ALWAYS use his ....or not drive! They are small, lightweight and resemble an older type hearing aid! Easy on and off your ear! Never go off in a car without one!!

this is a funny creative little toy, it can be pretty useful but why not rather not drive when you are sleepy..
