As an object's speed increases, so does its mass until at the speed of light the mass is infinite. Therefore you would be unable to:

a) Lift your hand to reach the light switch;
b) Move the light switch; or
c) Open your eyelids to observe the results!

However, I do agree that the speed of light is constant, relative to the observer, irrespective of the observer's speed.
