As title suggests.

I know it sounds stupid, but are you sure it's not being caused by transient power outages? I thought this was happening to me until it happened one evening so I saw the light go off and on again at the same time and put two and two together.

I thought that too but nothing happened anywhere else in the house and power outages really aren't that common where I live.
