[01:45.89]We turned on the T.V. to some movie
[01:48.59]that was on cable⁴ and settled down to go to sleep.
[01:53.30]About 20 minutes later, the T.V. turned off,
[01:56.60]and so did the lamp on the end table
[01:58.91]next to the couch on my side.
[02:01.82]I look at Cynthia and asked
[02:04.10]if she had turned on the sleep timer for the T.V.
[02:07.89]She said no and just turned the T.V. back on.
[02:11.83]I turned the lamp back on.
[02:13.28]About another 10 minutes went by
[02:15.83]and the television and the lamp both turned off again,
[02:19.67]at exactly the same time.
[02:22.43]Nothing else was turning off, just the T.V. and the lamp.
