You no those smoke detectors where the battery gets low and it loudly chirp-screaches at you? Those should be banned. Every time I hear it at my house it's like a shock to my nervous system. Every minute or so and it feels like an electric shock around my arms and shoulders.
It started beepinga little on Saturday, but I thought maybe some bug was messing around with the door bell outside to make it beep for a moment, and it didn't happen that often. I told the person over the place that the batteries need replacing in it yesterday morning, because it started beeping a lot Sunday night, and I came home yesterday and thought for a good 30 minutes that it was fixed, and then...
*beep!* right when I definitely wasn't expecting it. So last night I closed the thin, sliding door to my bedroom, put on my gaming headphones, connected them to my phone through my game controller, put on a book, and got a bit of sleep. At least with that amount of mass between me and the detector, I could pretend it's at some one else's house. I still didn't sleep good last night. Probably from wearing big headphones.
I woke up to a headache and the detector still going off. The headache is gone now but I still feel like I haven't slept well for days.
