Refers to a "consideration for sleepers" action whereby --- in order to briefly look at something from the doorway of a pitch-dark room in which you know that one or more other humans are seeking a little shut-eye --- you first open up your own eyelids extra-wide to allow yourself maximum visibility, and then perform a super-quick "on-off" action (one-half-second at the absolute maximum) with the room's light-switch, so that you are able to check on whatever you needed to know (such as that there is nothing on the floor between you and the sleeper's bed, and thus you can safely tiptoe forward in the dark and crawl in with the slumberer without tripping), but minimize the disturbance of the sleepy person(s) by not having the ceiling-lamp lit long enough for him to even be much aware of it.
Considerate dude who's staying overnight at his girlfriend's apartment: I always use the "single-strobe light-flick" prior to re-joining Tiffany in her bed after I visit the Little Boys' Room during the night, just to make sure that neither of her cats has decided to stretch itself out on the floor of the bedroom. It avoids any unexpected "yowls in the dark", plus Tiffany tells me that she seldom even notices my brief room-illuminations, so that's a good thing.

Get the That’s Light Switch mug.A phenomena that occurs 2 times a day: morning and afternoon. When crawling to the coffee machine in a desperate need of caffeine, popping in the Keurig coffee pod, watching with anticipation the machine warming up, and to your horror the bright blue light pops on, thus signaling the realization the asshole who last used it didn’t refill the water container.
Joanie shuffled into the kitchen at 6am to get her much needed cup of coffee, and waited the requisite 45 seconds while the Keurig machine warmed up. Then the dreaded blue light appeared. In middle class society, Joanie was afflicted with what has become known as the Keurig blue light special.
