Not having an alarm is this day an age is crazy. I don't need one to protect me, just to let me know someone's there. I've got it from there. Get an alarm, put it on payments if you need to, but get one before you regret not having one.

Just an observation based on experience, anyone who's breaking into homes and watching people sleep is working up the guts to do worse. It's a matter of when, not if.

Be safe and take care of you and yours.
