I have the same problem. 3am alarms going off. rushing around to find my small three stap ladder so I can reach the damn reset button, or shaking a towel in front of the alarm hoping that will turn it off. Most of the time none of this works. you cannot turn the bloody things off. Smoke alarms wired to the mains electricity. My solution though not advised is to cover the smoke alarms with those plastic hairnet type shoe coverings that people with muddy shoes wear to protect your carpets, think CSI shoe coverings. A plastic bag works just as well. I then fasten them in place with a large elastic band. My kitchen smoke alarm is actaully a heat alarm. It will go off if the heat rises above a certain temperature. My thinking here is that if there is a fire in my kitchen, the rising heat will melt the plastic bag and set of the fire alarm. My friend sets off my smoke alarms because she vapes. I had to ban her from vaping indoors. I still have annual smoke alarm checks.
