It's no problem, IMO, to fall asleep while using the zapper. That is, there's no side effect with using it longer than 7 minute stretches. The only problem I can see is that he wouldn't be getting good contact with the wands for a full 7 minutes (although 5 minutes is probably enough). >The problem here is that we suffer from power surges.

But most zappers, those using a 555 timer IC, would internally short before any high voltage got through to the wands. The same is true of the fully electronic blood electrifier circuits I've seen (but NOT true of Beck's original design, nor is it true of Tom Miller's bio-electrifier). -- Dean -- from (almost) Duh Moyn (CDP, KB0ZDF) -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
