Can you sleep next to a smoke detector, because I think there is radioactive material in it?
I sleep all the time. I can always sleep - in the dark and in daylight. I sleep through alarms and smoke detectors. I don't ever feel awake. Naps help and don't stop me from sleeping at night. I fall asleep almost instantly no matter what time it is.
