Yeah, people are severely underestimating the impact this could be having. Sleep deprivation has many consequences from mild annoyance to multi-death car accidents. When you subject a very large number of people to sleep deprivation it's entirely possible that the side effects would outweigh the gains. It's not just "child's life vs. minor annoyance" as it's being framed. If you personally have no issue being woken up, good for you, leave it on, and let those who are more sensitive turn it off.
