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."
