Piercing Questions

Why do smoke detector batteries always run low and start chirping in the middle of the night? Why never during the daytime when one can see what she's doing, find a new battery, and easily swap it out?

And can I successfully ignore this chirping and sleep until morning?

I have a [smoke detector] in my home, but really it's more like a nine-volt battery slowly-drainer. "If you want to slowly get rid of your nine-volt batteries, then buy this circle!"
