Yes. I've had to place objects in front of LEDs that can't be disabled before. But there are smoke/heat detectors that apparently need to blink all night and I wouldn't want to go taping those up. I now wear an eye mask.

My favourite discovery, though, was in Spain. I started to notice all the hotels were wired up with a separate consumer unit per room. Me being me, I looked inside one and noticed someone had simply flipped the switch on the emergency exit sign to disable the green glow all night. Genius!

Unfortunately not all hotels have individual consumer units nor do they put the exit sign on its own circuit.
