Ask HN: How can you check whether a MacBook Pro turns off screen when closed?
It may not turn off the screen if there is a hardware or software issue. So is there a way to check?

But because I am worried about observer effects [0] I sometimes hide around the corner and jump out on the fridge to try and surprise it, So far, all quiet.
