> At 3:30 am the smoke detector in my bedroom went off for 3 (VERY LOUD) beeps. Then stopped. I essentially levitated out of bed. Checked over the house. Everything was fine. It never went off again. It then took me abut 2 hours to go back to sleep.

This happened to me this morning at 4am! Jolted me awake, and as I lay there trying to decide if the power had gone off and a battery back up was yelling or what, it stopped and never resumed. I remembered your post and realized it was the same thing. So bizarre.
