When I was young, I was convinced that my nightlight turned itself off after I fell asleep. I would try to stay up as long as I could (usually only about 9 o'clock) but it never turned off. It wasn't until I was about seven years old that my parents finally told me they would come into my room when I was asleep to turn it off.
