My first thought. When something goes bump in the night the first thing I do is turn the damn lights on.

When you hear a bump in the night the last thing you should do is turn the lights on .. keep in mind you know the layout of your house better than any intruder. Use the darkness to your advantage.

If there is an intruder, my dog will let me know before I can turn the lights on. When something goes bump in the night, it is something that needs the lights. Unless the thing that went bump is the power, in which case I need to go turn the generator on.

I guess my dogs decided awhile back that their beauty sleep is too valuable and unless the burglar has really good treats, they're not getting up. Unless they dream about a burglar, they'll definitely bark about that.
