When we wired our house we put the bathroom lights and plugs on the same 
switched supply line through a GFCI outlet and then the lights - so when 
the switch is off the lights and all the plugs go dead.

The reason was if I have a hair curler or other heating appliance 
running and forget to turn it off there is less of a fire hazard if the 
circuit is dead - and I rarely forget to turn off the lights as I leave 
the room.

Of course this was 20+ years ago and most curling irons now have a timer 
to shut them off after a while - but at the time it made sense.
