I used to think the same of regeneration, but that only seems to invoke it's nuisance effect (temp disad: odious) when actually recovering HP in Bio-Tech.

B118 interestingly approaches Night Vision as if it were inherently switchable since you can take Temporary Disadvantage: Unnatural Feature on it.
The ability to close one's eyes seems like it would make vision effectively a switchable sense.
Hearing is nearly there but the ears can't close themselves (you use hands to cover, like you might use to cover eyes if you lacked eyelids) so maybe there's some kind of built-in limitation to switchability like "requires eyelids" ?
Being able to switch off your vision without actually closing your eyelids would be pretty cool since then you could relax and avoid distractions while seeming like you were paying attention.

Having an advantage and having it on are two different things. Does

Which could be evidence that it's switchable by default since that seems like something you'd have trouble with (Ballad of Barry Allen)
If time is literally going fast then imagine trying to follow a conversation being played to you at 1/100 speed. It would be hard to pay attention to.
If that's not built into having ATR on then we definitely need to figure out how to build that in as some kind of drawback to having this as an always-on trait, or a temporary disadvantage if you make it switchable.
