I finally sorted out my smart plugs to turn off at night
They kept my stuff running all the time, which was a waste. Now they shut down on a schedule, and it feels good to save a bit of power.

Why do we let devices suck power all night?

Honestly mine were basically vampires for months. Just silently draining power all night like little electronic parasites. Felt stupid when I finally checked the usage stats. They're not even doing anything useful between midnight and 6am. Congrats on putting yours on a curfew, my wallet felt the difference too.

Can you believe how much power stuff uses on standby? I had the same issue as @kaibaker, with my game consoles and chargers sucking juice all night. I put them all on power strips and just flip the switch before bed. My bill dropped like twenty bucks a month, no joke. It took a week to get into the habit, but now it's second nature. @kaibaker, your curfew idea is smart, but I found flipping switches easier than setting timers.
