Yes, this is a big problem. In the event of a fire, the firefighters must use a lot of their resources in searching for and removing residents who did not leave the building. In a dormatory with 100 or more students on a floor, this is a huge undertaking to search every room in a multistory dormatory. Students sleeping, and not found and evacuated, are at risk of becoming overcome by smoke and toxic fumes.
