What is the difference between SleepDoc and alarm devices?
The main difference is: alarms disturb sleep after urination has already occurred, while SleepDoc prevents enuresis before it starts. All alarm systems work on the same principle: wake up the bedwetter after sensing the urine. There are two major problems with alarms. One is the fact that loud noise wakes up the whole household but not the bedwetter. It happens because a bedwetter loses his hearing reflex in a deep sleep, as was discovered recently. The second problem is that alarms and, after that, parents abruptly awake the child from a deep sleep which is not healthy. If you have been awakening from the deep sleep by a telephone call, you remember your confusion and heart pounding. Alarms “treat” the bed not the person. The SleepDoc is the only device on the market that does NOT wake up the child, does NOT disturb his/her sleep, and works BEFORE the child urinates, thus, trains more mature and healthy reflexes.
