Not really but what happened last night was quite peculiar and infuriating.

Today is my first day off in months and I was really looking forward to getting a good night’s sleep as the past couple of months at work have been stressful.

I went to bed early but didn’t fall asleep until around midnight. Annoying but not unexpected as I always have trouble sleeping.

At 3 am, I was woken up by a weird buzzing sound. It took me a while to locate the source. It was my eldest daughter’s chronometer. I have no idea why it made that sound but the result was that I was wide awake.

As I was slowly drifting back to sleep, I heard the ominious beep-beep from my smartphone indicating that the battery was running low. Awake again.

I finally fell asleep about an hour later.

At 6:45, I was woken up by my smartphone’s alarm clock. I had NOT set the alarm clock yesterday. I almost never set the alarm clock. The last time I did was in September (ironically, it didn’t ring that morning when I needed it to…). It hasn’t rung unexpectedly since then.

I’m going mad with frustration :mad:.
