Maybe check to see if your house has aluminum wiring with copper 
pigtails at the wall sockets and switches.  Was quite common in the 
1970's or so and the wire nuts on the pigtails need to be tightened 
from time to time.
This is RIGHT ON!
Better yet - Get rid of the aluminum wire!!

I wouldn't knowingly sleep in a house with Al wiring - The fire is just a 
matter of when.
