It's fine if people are conscious that others around them are sleeping and keep the light/noise to the useable/reasonable level but some people do dine-on-demand and set up the table with a buddy and talk very loudly to the dining companion and crew members, all lights on at the seat, and eat very noisily with a lot of clinking noise.
Then that becomes problematic... on BA, that is. Probably the same on any other carriers for that matter.
