Why do smoke detectors always start beeping between 1-3 am everytime it goes out?

Growing up, it would start beeping between 1-3 am in my childhood home whenever it went out and now being a homeowner, it does the same thing between 1-3 am when it goes out. The smoke detector in the bedroom started beeping in the middle of the night last night, I said freak it and slept the rest of the night in the guest room. Why are smoke detectors programmed to piss people off in the middle of the night?

Batteries get the weakest when it’s cooler. Late at night, it’s the coolest your house will get. Batteries get low, it starts beeping

Because, life is out to get you.

We must have 7-10 in the house and they ONLY go out between those hours. We have high ceilings, so it's always fun dragging the ladder out of the garage, praying you have a battery, and not going off like

Because that’s when all your neighbors are charging their electric cars.

Because smoke detectors are rooted in white supremacy

I pay someone to change my smoke detector batteries every quarter so this doesn’t happen to me. I could do it myself but I make too much money to do that. It’s just a convenience for me.

Is this the safety culture you promote in your household?

They tend to go off within the same period of time that the Honeywell digital thermostat in the house mysteriously goes from a blue background to white. This is also when my dog barfs in the bedroom, I get struck with a case of night shits, or my kids wake up with night terrors.
This coincides with the time period at night when I did the most vile things and women when I was in my 20’s.
Witching hour.

Yep and for the same reason the AC decides to malfunction during a weekend.
Posted on 5/26/23 at 6:48 am to Byrdybyrd05
because they are made half way around the world where they go off at 2 to 3pm ??

You can complain or you can solve the problem.
Write down when you change battery
Write down when it dies
Test charge level on new battery
Write down when it dies
Going forward replace old battery about 3 months before
Problem fixed going forward.

Sad to hear this stopped in your 20's
Women are witches and need to exercised often!
Just get these and don't let them turn you into a newt.

To piss you off so you remember to change them. 12 noon you say awe freak it. 2am you want to blow the thing off ceiling with shotgun to shut it up.
