When the dog used to wake me up in the middle of the night to drink water and take him out, I had to do to it manually. Now it’s all automated, my body just does it. 90% of brain is asleep.
I look forward to automating diaper changes when the baby arrives. The subconscious brain is an incredible piece of technology.
- haskellandchill 8y agoYes! I call it natural computation ha
- mig4ng 8y agoHow did you manage to do that? Is there a book or an article that you recommend reading?
- 0xfeba 8y agoIt's called "Sleep Deprivation".
- sleet 8y agoSeems like an odd solution. Can't you just leave a bowl of water out? Does your dog have bladder control issues?
- laumars 8y agoBowl plus dog flap would be my approach. But my back garden is safe to leave a dog unattended (high fences and set deep in a quiet residential surrounded by farm land).
- albertgoeswoof 8y agoHow old is your dog? After 5-6 months they should not need to go out in the night. Either you need to train them not to or take them the vet to check if they have bladder problems
- downrightmike 8y agoSome dogs just like to go out and be outside. My dog likes to go out and just stand in the middle of the yard for an hour at 2am. Her mom is the same way.
- coryfklein 8y agoThe automated diaper changes are real. Once you can do it all in darkness (or near darkness) yours hands just learn all the movements and you get it done so quickly you are back in bed and asleep very soon. Sleep still gets disrupted to some degree (you can't drop straight back into interrupted REM), but much less than you'd think.
- roryisok 8y agoProvided they're only wet. Please don't try to handle a dirty nappy subconsciously in the dark :)
- coryfklein 8y agoBy the time you level up to subconscious diaper changing the kid is usually past the stage where messy diapers happen at night, but yea if you detect something nuclear down there its best to turn the light on and get it done right. XD
- notoriousjpg 8y agoI've always wondered if there is an opportunity for bidets for babies to reduce the mess of changing a diaper. Thoughts?
- roryisok 8y agoThey're not that messy, 90% of nappy changes are just wet not dirty. For the other 10% it would be rare (in my experience of four babies) that things get particularly messy, but if they do you can always fill a baby bath or bathroom sink. Having a dedicated bidet for a baby seems like more unnecessary stuff.
- dragonwriter 8y agoHow would a bidet in any way reduce the mess of changing a diaper, much less work for a baby in the first place?
