Just in Case you Thought about Sleeping

last night i made two pumpkin pies and a maple nut pie. the maple nut pie was the last to bake and so i put it on time bake and went to bed since it was a little after 10pm. later that night the smoke alarm goes off in our bedroom with three very load and very annoying beeps. my first thought was that the time bake didn't work and i had burnt the pie to a crisp. i checked the kitchen and everything was fine. but we keep our house pretty cold at night 50 something if i remember correctly so i scurried back to bed and thought maybe the detector just hit a weird patch of air or something. then, i think it was an hour later, i had just gotten back to sleep (i was worried about finding my gps) and the alarm went off again. this time i knew everything in the kitchen was fine so i didn't move. it didn't smell like a fire or anything. so i started to go back to sleep and not two minutes later it went off again with its three beeps. i told keith, "i don't know what that is but it is very annoying." so he got up and unscrewed it from its base and took its battery out. then he claimed that my statement was a good ploy... ahhha... i didn't have to get out of bed. but in truth i can't reach the smoke detector.
i wonder what its real problem is... don't say battery going dead because it only does one beep at a time when that is happening =).

i think it's problem was a patch of bad air, like your assumption.
did you check keiths side of the bed for a fowel oder?
