If it's switched off?
Funny enough, there were complaints of people's sleep being effected by the switch electric lights. Because theyd gotten used to sleeping in a room with some amount of carbon monoxide and other toxic off gasses from burning things like kerosene.
That hit me like a much much worse version of the XKCD comic about somebody's workflow and "please add an option to re-enable spacebar heating."
"I am set in my ways and find that my routine maintains my humours most divinely. Please just re-enable sleepy time CO, sandman soot, and funny fumes."
I mean, not my default unless you're really bad with loose, bare wiring.
