The second a smoke alarm starts the low battery beeping in my house, I’m wide awake. I don’t know how someone can sleep through it.
A few nights ago, mine started beeping in the middle of my sleep and I swear I heard a bunch of really fast beeps right before I woke up and I was like *wtf was that", and 5 seconds later a single beep and I was like "oh".
On US Navy ships, one of the first indications of a casualty is that ventilation stops, either via loss of electrical power or on purpose to prevent the spread of smoke. I now have an acute response when any fans suddenly turn off.

"Fire, Fire in the Engine Room-"
Put some pieces of soft wood like fir around your place, cats like sharpening their claws on it and it will likely save your carpets and furniture.
I'm pretty sure this is a thing, I sleep with a fan so my girlfriend does too, I often get up a lot in the middle of the night and she hardly wakes, and we even sleep with the TV on sometimes though i don't like it. One time though I accidentally unplugged the fan and our white noise was gone and she shot straight up super startled like I had set off fireworks
LOL I have a fan that automatically stop if it run for too long, I have it for 1.5 years to this day I still don't know why
It's because of south Korean superstition. They believe that a running fan can kill you so fans produce at/for south Korea, shut automatically down.
It's a weird phobia they have as w culture
Lately, I've been really into self hosting. My first thought was server fan, not air conditioning haha🫠
Almost me, except I had to get up and check the window, when it sounded like my cat clawing at it. It wasn't my cat. It was a middle aged woman who was cutting my bedroom screen open. After opening my curtains she ran away, so nothing happened. But I had to get my screen fixed. And I was scared to sleep in my bedroom for a month, and with lights on.
