"Evil at 5:50am"

This is getting on my nerves now. Yesterday morning, I was woken at 5:50am to the sound of repeated beeping. I waited for about 20 seconds, hoping it wouldn't wake the family up (which by some slimmer of luck it didn't), then realised that it wouldn't turn off. I tried to follow the noise, but I failed to find it instantly. Thinking it was either my mobile phone or GBA SP chargers, I unplugged both of them but the noise failed to cease. About a minute later it turned off, and I thought that'd be the last I heard of it. Yesterday afternoon I went for a look through the drawers in the vincinity of where the noise had been, and found a tamagotchi with no battery power. Thinking that was the cause of the problem, I stuck it next to my pillow, to see if it would happen again. Thinking that my problems were solved, I went back to sleep.

Or not. This morning, at the exact same time the beeping happened AGAIN! I unplugged the stereo in an attempt to stop the noise, but I was wrong again. What kind of evil twisted sleep-stopping beeper would go off at exactly 5:50 for about three minutes?!? I'm losing sleep over this thing now.

You guys have any ideas what could be causing the problem? I'm desperate! My sleep, which is bad enough already, is at risk!

Will do!

*gets gun*

If i'm looking in my desk, there might be something living in there. FFF...

I think he's on to me.
*burrows deeper into drawers*

shh

I used to have a cat that beeped like that every morning. I found that if you you tap it in its stomach you can wind it. Try that.

Don't know your room layout but check behind it as well just incase.

Sounds like it's coming from my desk. When I get home, I'll look through all three and find/destroy all electronical devices.

Check under your bed and if not the bottom of your wardrobe as i have done this to someone before and those where the 2 places i put alarm clocks. I think it took 4 nights before he found the first one and another 2 nights for the other :D

That will probably do more harm than good. I'll mark it 'Plan F'. Problem is, my draws are full of rubbish, so I'll have to take a trip through the junk later.
