F/A's are lazy. Booze up the passenger, make the cabin dark and they'll sleep thru the flight. On my last KL long haul flight, the F/A made me a gin & tonic with mainly gin and a shot of tonic.

While purely subjective, I notice on most of my flights, that most of the other passengers want to sleep and that most passengers in window seats lower the shades themselves (rather than being told by cabin crew) after the meal service.
This is especially true for C.
