     @fringe Actually, mine was about 330am and I laid there for a time trying to ignore it.

     Is it nap time yet?

     @jimcarroll Mine fail at 3:05AM. Must be a time-zone thing?

     @jimcarroll I'd always thought it was due to that typically being the coldest time of each day. Batteries work less well at lower temperatures, so if they're going to give out that would be the time.
