This Is Why Women Living Alone Should Wait Before Turning on Lights at Home

The Psychological Advantage

There’s something powerful about pausing before acting.

That brief moment in a dim entryway allows you to tune in.

Do you hear anything unusual?
Does anything feel off?
Was there a vehicle parked nearby that wasn’t there before?

Most safety professionals agree on one thing: awareness is your strongest layer of protection.

Not fear. Not hypervigilance. Awareness.
