As I read your statement sitting in my "bedroom office", I notice:
My Vizio TV which has a piece of white electrical tape[0] with aluminum foil underneath. Incredible failure of engineering that has a setting to disable the power LED, however, that setting is ignored if you use the "black screen" option that kills the screen while the TV continues playing ... a feature you are likely to only use if you like to sleep to the noise, but not the light, of the television.
My switch has a sock wrapped around the front with a piece of cardboard jammed in it to keep the blinken-lights from creating strobe effects all night.
My monitor, multi-USB charger, have similar black-tape treatments that the TV received and the power outlet next to my dresser has a piece of white tape on it -- it's a smart plug and I'm guessing there was an indicator light under that.
The thrown together solutions indicate the worst part. You tend to not discover it's a problem until you wake up at 2:00 AM and you can't get back to sleep because it's bright as early morning in the bedroom.
[0] It was all I had at the time.
- themerone 3y agoHave you tried a sleep mask? I had to try a bunch before I found one (Manta Mask) that was comfortable and stayed on.
