Pretty much the only plants that can have their first dormancy skipped with no ill effects are seedlings. After they get past a year old, flytraps really don't seem to like it if their dormancy is skipped. In my experience it makes them more susceptible to disease.

You can start gradually lowering the amount of time the lights are on, to simulate summer changing to autumn in the dionaea's natural habitat.
