Do you have an Amazon Echo? Get a smart outlet thingy and tell Alexa to turn it off. You'll need to have Alexa turn it back on before you can use the remote again, but you'll be able to sleep.

My dumb ass found a way to turn it off but in my defense it was seven menus deep, I wasn't even looking for it

Those are energy vampires, too (sadly, not Colin Robinson’s kind). Anything that has the option to turn off extra lights I’m usually trying to find first.

Why do they do this?? Every electronic device in my bedroom is covered in electrical tape to make it stop.

I couldn't even cover it b/c the remote wouldn't work, tortured me for months

Urgh, I hate these energy vampire things. When something is off I want it to be off. (Old lady rant over).
