Why must college students sit in the dark?
I'm doing a research paper titled "Why Sit in the Dark?" It is supposed to be a study on why students, specifically college students for this study, sit in the dark (surprise, surprise). I got the idea for the topic from my Atomic Bomb course professor. He's also there a few minutes late because his previous class is across campus and the lights are always turned off when he gets in. As he said "In the past twenty years teaching here, not one student made the move to turn the lights on before I got here."
What I'm asking here is if there is any previous research made into the concept. I've yet to find anything in the past while of searching the interwebs. If I am unable to find any, I may have to drop the topic and write the paper on something else.
@Hey Man, Nice Shot
Not exactly what I was going for as of actual research, but you've made a nice point. I hadn't thought of there being a "spotlight" effect, maybe even if most don't realise that that's what's going on. Thanks!
@Asky
It's not ranting about anything, just an observation. I understand that some students may not follow this trend, but every time I've been in the first class to use a certain room that day the lights were off until the teacher turned them on. I, nor the professor I mentioned, has ever seen a student that the initiative to turn the lights on before the teacher got to the room.

What are you ranting about?
In four years of college, I never sat in a dark classroom unless a film was being played and I never studied in the dark. Hell, half the time I didn't even sleep in the dark because I was too tired from studying to get up and turn off the light. What are you talking about?
