After staying up all night playing games, I finally crawled into bed around 5 a.m. A short while later(11 a.m), I was woken up by a smoke alarm.

Being exhausted and more annoyed than intelligent, I attempted to solve the problem by pulling the blankets over my head and pretending it didn't exist. The alarm continued. I added more blankets. The alarm remained unconvinced.

Eventually, I reached the stage of sleep deprivation where my brain concluded that the smoke detector itself was the issue. So I got out of bed, unscrewed it from the ceiling, put it on my table, and immediately went back to sleep.

I've now reawakened to find a smoke detector sitting on my table and a strong feeling that I'm a wrong turn in Darwinism.

I'd love to hear if anyone else has ever been this lazy and lived to tell the tale.

TL;DR: Smoke alarm woke me up. Instead of checking why, I removed the smoke detector and went back to sleep.
