I too always fall asleep while watching telivision because its the only thing that helps me able to fall asleep because I cant listen to my cd player because that will keep me up all night and I cant fall asleep with out any noise because for some reason whenever I fall asleep I get nightmares. I dont know why but it always happens which is why I always fall asleep to the tv.

Yeah, I do sometimes more often than not. That is usuaully my wind down time (sitting in front of the tv) and then I get tired and fall asleep. Sometimes it is annoying because I wake up and haved missed my show I was watching....

We are in the same boat. When ever I watch TV particularly in the afternoon and late evenings, I easily fall to sleep. It's not because of the programs being shown I think that made me sleepy, it's because I am just too tired from doing many activities for the day. I am an early bird and start the day by exercising. I surf the net in the morning and stay connected until noontime. This perhaps makes my body become tired or stressed out thus induces me to get to sleep even when I still want to watch TV.

Yes sometimes I do when something really boring is on but most of the time it's good tv so i tend to stay awake longer than I am suppose to and end up being extreamly tired the next day... I guess thats what i get for watching tv at night..

i never fall asleep while watching tv during daytime. but at nighttime, i often fell asleep while watching. after a few times that it happened, i have set the sleep timer of the tv remote control so that it would automatically shut off whether or not i'm done watching. these days i watch the tv from my bedroom. right after work, it has become a habit. so i literally fall asleep in front of the tv coz that's where it is located, about a couple of feet away from the bed where sleep. :)

I also was taught when I was a child to pray before going to sleep. Even if it is a very short prayer because I am real tired I pray. Sometimes I even fall to sleep saying my prayer to God. I also say a prayer when I first wake up in the morning. So I start and finish the day with God on my mind. I also pray every night before I sleep. My parents taught me to do this. I think it is a good thing to do, to be thankful for what we have and thankful for everything we have been given. It is the best thing to do before you go to sleep.

Watching tv does help me drift off to sleep faster. I think it's the sound when the volume is turned just right. But if I'm really tired I can fall asleep without the tv on. But either way it has to be quiet or minimal noise in order for me to fall asleep.

I never fall asleep while watching television. If I'm that tired, I just go to bed instead. Or if the show is really boring, I either change the channel and watch something else, or just turn off the television and go online on my computer.
