Do you have a TV in your bedroom?

Question

Not only does television in the bedroom keep us up later at night, but there are also studies that indicate watching television before bed actually disrupts sleep cycles.
Removing the television from your bedroom results in more sleep and better sleep… which means you'll have a better rested, more productive day.

I do, but if not think those studies apply to every body. In my opinion, from the way how I see it. There are so many people who lack discipline when it comes to the electronica. And doesn't listen to that body's natural sleep Rhythm. If you'd already born as a person who is not an early bird, another ten times no matter what type of changes you trying to make, you're not going to be an early bird anyway. You can try to force yourself to get up earlier, and it is possible. But there's no guarantee you going to just change that way. There are also a good chance a lot of people just have sleep disorders Triad issues that don't necessarily have to do with the TV. I am not telling people do not listen to what they're saying about the television or the electronics. For what I am saying is that one let's use proper judgment when having Electronics around them. Maybe you both need to take it out the room. But if you're just going to get up to go to the living with watch it anyway then maybe you shouldn't have the electronics that all. But if that's not working, then you have more of a nutritional problem but that's other things going on. That have nothing to do with the tv.

Yes I do and I'm aware of the studies which is why I stop looking at my phone up to an hour before bed, but for some reason, having the tv on helps me fall asleep at night. Fortunately, I have a timer on it so I dont get reawakened later.

No but we have one in the master bath to watch when we're in the shower. I have series that I watch on streaming cjannels like Hulu, Netflix... that I only watch while I am in the shower. I just finished News Radio and now I'm watching one about JFK on Hulu.

AynonOMouse · Accepted Answer

Yeah. If I have it on low volume I can sleep easier, but if it is off and the room is totally quiet I wake up repeatedly about every 30 minutes to an hour all night long. A TV actually helps me sleep.

smahala1991 · Answer

Yes gotta have background noise to sleep

AxeQuestions · Answer

Ok, I have a TV in my room but it's wrong to assume I watch TV shows on it before bed! I don't even get a good signal most of the time. I have a 45 mile antenna and it works occasionally but mostly it's unwatchable, unfortunately. That is OK though, because I really just use that TV to play PlayStation, and I don't play right before bed unless I intend on not getting any sleep that night :D

MangoB83 · Answer

Technically if you are going to Netflix and chill you are more likely to chill in the bedroom therefore you should have Netflix in the most logical place possible - the place where chilling takes place. Therefore this is the correct usage of a television and that it why the tv should be in the bedroom

Cynicaldreamer · Answer

Yes, and it actually helps me sleep. Since I live alone, I like having background noise (the tv) to help put me to sleep.  I cannot sleep without some sound or a light source in my bedroom.

aicarg · Answer

Nope... but other types of screens like my Mac and my cell prevent me from getti g the proper amount of sleep I need 🙈

Apple1996 · Answer

Yess I do and I'm one of those annoying people that sleep with the tv on. It annoys my hubby so bad 😂

Kezzz · Answer

I did have one but then I got bored of repeated episodes and the same movies on television. Now there's streaming sites and apps. Didn't really need a TV. So I took it and hooked it up to my destop. Now its my monitor lol.

OfDeath · Answer

Yes I do and I don't give a crap what experts say. If I don't have to get up the next day I will abuse the television in my room. Whether it be with movies, YouTube videos, porn or games, I will indulge to my heart's content and I will be happy.

TacosRAwesome · Answer

I don't have and I don't want one. My partner likes to stay up late watching his favourite shows and the last thing is need is having TV light in my face while I'm trying to sleep.

bigmisssunshine · Answer

No we don’t have a tv in the bedroom, as our bedroom is small and I don’t want a tv in the bedroom. A bedroom is for sleeping, not for watching tv.

There are only 2 things to do in a bedroom & watching tv isn't one. Lately all I have been doing is sleeping.

Edanurus · Answer

Nope, before I moved out I did but I always struggled with sleep even when tired (2 hrs to drift of). Now my bedroom is just for using the bed and getting dressed, it's helped me a lot.

Jacksoscar · Answer

Yes I do but to be honest I'm not even sure the last time it was even turned on. I put it in there about 3 years ago. So I could watch it after a surgery I was having.

bamesjond0069 · Answer

My girlfriend wanted to put one in but i said ill not allow it. Bedrooms are for sleep and sex. Anything that interferes with either of those things is not allowed. And tv interferes with both.

beldath · Answer

However, I do fall asleep to movies on my phone, and go to bed early in case it keeps me up.
