Is it normal for the lights on the ethernet port to continue to blink after the computer is shut down?

I feel like my computer never used to do this, but it always does now.

 

The only way to get them to go off is by switching off the PSU.

 

It's annoying because my desktop is right by my bed and I prefer it dark at night, yet the wall is lit up by the flashing orange light on the ethernet port.

Tell me more about that  My speakers have a blue light I had to cover by a thick piece of paper and my monitor's LED keeps blinking unless I turn it off completely too... I always put a chair in front of the monitor when I go to sleep.

The surge protectors I have are great but have piercing green lights on them, so I cover those up with old ID cards. I hate lights at night lol

Hmm. Looks like I already had it disabled. Oh well. Still blinking. Not sure what's causing it then.
