What's Normal? TV in the Bedroom (1 Viewer)

[Da Guru]

Used to have a TV in bedroom but took it out about 5 years ago and my sleep improved dramatically.

When i watched TV in bed I would toss and turn for hours after turning it off.

Yes, but I wish we didn't. (See "pet peeves" thread)

This is what prompted to me to make the poll.

Maybe I'll just take the damn thing down some night when she's gone somewhere. I'm sure that would go over well.

"sorry, honey. got mad at the Bucks game and slammed a basketball on the floor that bounced up, knocked the tv off the wall and it burst in to flames"

Nope

I was suffering from insomnia and some of the recommendations I read were:
1. No tvs in the bedroom
2. Don’t work where you sleep
3. Make as dark as possible

Added a white noise machine on my own

Sleep drastically improved. I’m out pretty quick most nights.

I was recently suffering from insomnia and the best way for me to fall asleep (When I could) was with the TV on or nature sounds from my Alexa device. I normally don't fall asleep with it on though.

I should mention that I only stream tv shows when we go to bed so that when we fall asleep, it stops and then it blacks out after 5 mins of inactivity.

I grew up using a tv as a "white noise" machine, so I've always had one in the bedroom.

Yuppers. My life partner and I sleep in different rooms and I absolutely need the TV on all night. In fact, I just got done with a work trip for a conference in Nashville where my hotel room TV wasn't working right and I actually had to sleep in complete darkness/silence last night and it sucked.
