Did you notice a car parked nearby that wasn’t there before?
That short pause shifts you from autopilot to awareness.
Smart Alternatives
If fumbling in the dark feels uncomfortable, here are balanced options:
Install smart bulbs you can control from your phone before entering.
Use motion-sensor lights inside entryways only.
Keep a small flashlight on your keychain.
Install outdoor motion lights instead of relying solely on indoor lighting.
These options keep you secure without sacrificing comfort.
