Things You Will Need
Sleeping with an open window provides a cool breeze for pleasant rest and lessens the chances of succumbing to carbon monoxide poisoning, a dangerous bedtime killer. Sleep more safely by taking precautions against intruders before you hit the hay.
-
Install window-blocking devices on your bedroom windows. These devices allow windows to open 6 inches but no more. Position the blocking device so that it is not accessible by anyone reaching into the window.
-
Place a security sticker on the windowpane. Your security company offers these, or you may purchase them from a home improvement store.
-
Screw an anti-lift device into the window casing. This anchors the window in place preventing potential burglars from lifting it out.
-
Remove bushes and foliage from around the window. Foliage provides would-be burglars with a place to hide.
-
Light the outside of your bedroom by placing motion detector spotlights at the corners of your home.
-
Install a home security system that provides window security coverage.
