How do i wire in a loft light?
Unless the power is fed into the light fixture in the room below, you'll need to pull a wire from an outlet or from the panelboard. If this is all finished space, you may wish to call an licensed electrician to do this work for you. They have specialized tools that they can use to route the new lines with minimal damage to your existing finished walls. It will cost a bit, but will probably save you money in the long run since less finish repair work will be needed.

What could cause all electrical outlets and lights on the same circuit to go out without tripping the breaker?
GFCI and overcurrent protection (breaker) work in different ways. Suffice to say the GFCI is ~2000x more sensitive and trips long before the typical household breaker. So it's normal for a GFCI trip and the panel breaker to remain closed.The electrician is correct regarding GFCI devices. One GFCI device can protect multiple downstream outlets but some homeowners want a separate reset per floor or each bathroom to have its own reset, etc.As for the hair dryer... you're trying to eliminate trip sources so just leave it unplugged between uses and you'll get your answer.Typical trip sources are the GFCI itself (defect/damage/age) or an appliance of sorts. Then there's rodent or water infiltration issues. Anything you plug into the GFCI circuit is a potential trip source even something seemingly innocuous as a nightlight or air freshener, USB charger, anything that fits into the plug.
