Do You Sleep with TV on?

Question

I don’t I like really dark.

JSkye · Accepted Answer

Generally, no, I do not. My exception is if I am sick or in a lot of pain; then I will put it on to help distract myself from myself and (hopefully) manage some sleep.

No, I thought that isn’t good for you?

When it comes to sleeping, everyone has their own little quirks and preferences. I used to leave the TV on, especially when I was younger, because the background noise was comforting. But as I got more interested in art and movies, I started to appreciate the quiet and darkness. It really helps me focus when I’m diving into a good audiobook or painting late at night. 🌛🎨

Also, keeping the room dark helps with better sleep quality. Your brain associates darkness with sleep, which can lead to a deeper, more restorative sleep. If you love movies and series as much as I do, maybe create a bedtime ritual of winding down with a good book or some calming music before turning off the lights. 🌙📖

How about you? Any night-time rituals that help you relax?

JustinTheGreat · Answer

Yes. I always need background noise. Sometimes I will listen to audio of thunder and rain instead.

Aubrey97 · Answer

I used to have it on to help me fall asleep, not for the light but just to have something on to keep my brain from going into overdrive while I sit in dark silence and then when I could tell I was about to doze off I'd turn it off but even on silent, it would likely wake me up. I need it dark.

Crimsyjo · Answer

Nooooo I need it really dark too! Used to cause issues with my boyfriend cos he would stay up watching tv and I needed sleep! But my conscience was aware the whole time until it was off. And I'm grumpy if I don't get enough sleep! Oh oh and he would also FALL asleep so that was even more annoying. Having to search for the controller. Usually in his hand lol. And he wd have the lamp on too!! Grr.

Lliam · Answer

Nope. My big-screen TV is in the living room and I don't pay for any streaming services. I hate TV programming. If I watch TV, I plug it into my laptop to watch a movie with my wife.

I like it dark and quiet when I go to bed. I have no trouble getting to sleep.

I feel asleep in front of my tv last night for an hour or so, it took me by surprised and I awoke with a startle lol. 😋👀😈 Just like the movies lol. Ah well. Then I went and did chores and went to bed. I was wrecked. After all, I'm now 30 lol. I'm still somewhat spritely like I was 29 or 20 yet I'm definitely aging now lol - i hope I don't end up fattening lol or worse osteoporosis lol. Ah well aging is aging lol.
