One shellfish person should not ruin the sleep or IFE experience of the rest of the passengers.
I noticed several times that somebody opens the shade and after 5 minutes going to sleep without closing the shades.
Use the blanket if you want to watch outside.
But during the day, you could just as easily argue that it's bloody annoying to have to sit in the dark just because some selfish layabouts want to sleep during the daytime.

I'm happy they don't/can't enforce the closure of the shades.

And no, I can't look out of the window with a blanket over my head, hate that!
