Who thought up the grand idea that tornado sirens should be tested at 10am? 10am is prime napping time for kids 18mos and younger. Wish it was standard to do it at say, 11:30am.
But... there's also bound to be someone napping at 11:30 a.m. - does this mean it would never happen?The time was probably chosen long ago because it was thought that 99% of the population is out and about at 10:00 a.m. - it's only once a week!
It, in fact, only happens once a month (first Tuesday).
I was just wondering why, nationally, they picked 10:00am. (The siren was going off at the time, waking my sleeping child, hence, the thought.)
The majority of children who take morning naps, sleep between the hours of 8am to 12pm, bell curve peaking between 9am and 11am. With the assumption that the majority of working adults do so between the hours of 8am and 6pm, (and, therefore, are "out and about" and any of those hours would just about do) why couldn't "they" (and I don't know who "they" are) pick a time that does not interrupt the majority of morning nappers? Was it arbitrary, beyond the adult wake up time, or is there some kind of lessened liklihood that tornadic weather will occur at the 10am hour that made that time pick essential?
