Silly question but did you check the bulbs? Failing that, pop the lenses off and check the wiring connectors in there.

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

Map lights are feed from an ignition live, middle light & sunvisor lights have a permanent live from 1 of the fuses can't remember which 1 though, so if they are not working got to be a fuse.

Have you put a voltage tester to the light terminals? Just to eliminate that.
