Our propensity for light sleeping is both a blessing and a curse, only we are both fortunate enough that the blessing part has never been tested in an actual emergency situation.
My smoke alarm is worse. It makes a loud intermittent chirping noise when its battery runs low. The chirps are loud enough to jolt me out of a sound sleep, but the interval between them is long enough for me to wake up in a panic wondering "what the hell was that!", calm down, go back to sleep, repeat. It usually takes a few chirps before I realize what's going on.
Shooting it, the offending alarm, not the heavy sleeper, would seem an appropriate response.
If I didn't live in a rented apartment, I might do just that. ;)
Unfortunately, I'm not even allowed to replace the thing.
