It happened plenty of times for me, plants did just fine. No need to panic.

Are you by any chance using one of the cheapo timers that you'd buy for your christmas lights etc? My problem with lights not turning off was due to using such a timer, and upon buying a timer with a contactor (mine was branded plug n grow heavy duty timer) all the issues went away.
