The light is: a street lamp? an alarm clock? a TV? a lamp? a sign outside a hotel room? a star? on an airplane? a UFO? a fire? a computer monitor? a heart monitor? other medical condition monitor? a traffic light? something electronic? a chemical reaction? a natural phenomenon? When it stops blinking, is it on? or off? "fall asleep" = sleep? die? other? "I" = you? | ||

Does the light actually stop blinking? If it actually does stop blinking, what state is the light in when it stops: on? off? other? Did it stop blinking because it was supposed to? because it failed somehow? because something else failed (such as, the electricity when out)? because you caused it to stop? Is the reason why it stopped relevant? Is the light connected to you falling asleep? If it had continued blinking, would you still have fallen asleep? | ||

Did you think the light was blinking? Did it look like it was blinking when it actually wasn't? Did you find out some time later that it hadn't been blinking? Did you do something to the light? or the object giving off the light? If so: hit it? touch it? cover it? throw it? turn it on? turn it off? ignore it? look at it? turn away from it? operate it? use it? pick it up? put it down? smash it? fix it? | ||

Was something periodically obscuring the light? Like a fan blade? | ||

Was something periodically obscuring the light? yes Like a fan blade? yes I'll call this one solved... ********** Spoiler ************ Not that exciting of a puzzle, but I'm just getting back to this website (some people may recall my name, I recognize some other names). My wife goes to bed before I do and likes to have the ceiling fan on. When I come to bed, as a habit, I turn the fan off. We've recently moved to a new house. For the first few days I wondered why the little green light on my smoke alarm would blink slower... and slower... and slower (as the fan slowed down) until it completely stopped; sometimes on and sometimes off. |
