Do you fall asleep when you watch tv?

SYFY,HBO and TLC is my favorite!i watch tv in our bedroom every morning when i get up,then in the living room after breakfast and after lunch.the channel is always be in the syfy channel,hbo or tlc..when i watch tv during afternoon its always make me fall sleep,lol!!its not because the show or movie is boring but i think its because the voice,sounds,ect makes me feel comfortable and sleepy!!plus,i love to sleep when the tv or the radio is on :)

- Yes, this is a common occurrence for me and sometimes it can be very annoying when I miss a program I was interested in! Thank goodness for video/DVD recording, as these days, if an interesting program is on particularly late, I will just record it to watch the next evening at a earlier time! If there were no recording facilities, as there wasn't when I was younger, I would miss most of the TV I was interested in! When I was younger, I never fell asleep unless I had gone to bed, and that tended to be quite late a night! _Derek

This only happens to me when I am watching tv quite late like when I'm taking in a late night movie or something. There's nothing wrong with this but I guess your body is really telling you something when you start to nod off in front of the television. Whenever I reach this point though I have to give up on the film and I just make my way to bed and dive in! I normally get to sleep five or ten minutes later! I have this habit of going to bed very late on Friday nights as I love watching late night movies then. Well, I'm looking forward to tomorrow night once more. Andrew

I am guilty of falling asleep when I watch television. i don't intend for this to happen to me. it just does, My children like to laugh at me for it. I often wonder what i have missed.

My weakness too is when I watch tv after meal. I tend to sleep if I don't fight hard enough.

I do fall as sleep I watch television when I'm so tired. Like for example, I am watching a news of a particular channel then it happens that I am not interested with their news and so I just fell asleep. Then after that, I just realize that I slept when my auntie is going to turn off the TV then back to sleep until morning.

I used to when I was younger, it only seems to happen these days if I haven't slept well or if there's nothing of real interest on. I personally don't like falling a sleep until it's late, as I like to make the most of the days and it frustrates me when tiredness creeps in. Hasn't happened for a few months, I think the last time I had a really bad cold and I tried to watch television to take my mind of it.

hi fanotsmarichrs it does not seem too matter what is on the tv downstairs, I usually fall asleep anyway as what they have on is usually reruns and boring,the chairs are soft and very comfy.

That's exactly what happens to me. If I'm very tired and it's late, I fall asleep for sure. It was a time when I was very stressed and tired and around nine o'clock I watched TV but couldn't stay long. I fell asleep in ten minutes. The fact of feeling sleepy after eating happens to me too. I think is something in connection with the gall bladder.

I don't fall asleep while watching t.v. However, I do feel sleepy sometimes. When I'm feeling sleepy while watching t.v. I have this habit of turning off the t.v. before I even begin dozing off.

I fall asleep sometimes too..when watching television. But there's no particular channel that I fall asleep on. It's because I'm also quite tired sometimes too. I just wake up if my kid turns of the tv seeing that I'm already asleep.

i will fall asleep when i feel really sleepy and keep yawning.sometimes i will fall asleep while watching TV.but most of the time i will do so when i watch such a boring movie or story.if i can't stay awake i will just let myself doze off~

Sometimes I did. I love sleeping. Sleep makes me have a lucid mind. But when I was watching TV, sometimes I felt sleepy. I still tried to see. Sometimes, I closed my eyes and just heard by my ears. I didn't want to miss interesting films, hot news etc. But I realized that when I was sleepy, I can't do anything. It's best to go to bed. Now, I am very very sleepy. But I am still surfing the net. Well, I go to bed now. Have a nice day!

I usually do not fall asleep in front of the TV unless I am only totall exhausted, lile the other night I was nodding off at 7pm. My wife always falls asleep as does my brother. This is irrating as I usually like to bed at a certain time and always end up watching a movie I really don't want to watch.

Sometimes I feel asleep as I watch TV. But if the movies, is action I try myself not to fall asleep so that I can finish the movie... Have a nice day!

When I was pregnant with either of my children, I had a tendency to be able to fall alseep at the drop of a hat. However, since my children were born, the only place that I'm able to fall asleep on a regular basis is in my bed and we don't have a television in our bedroom. In addition to that, I can occasionally sleep on our couch, but that is only when it is dark outside and there are no lights or tv on in the living room.

Hello santosmarichis, Yes, I fall asleep to the TV at times. It is usually golf or tennis puts me to sleep. It also depends on the show and if it is boring or movie. It also depends one time I watching TV from 11:00pm on I usually fall asleep. But before that I would say no! Thanks and have a great day! Sincerely Unique16

Some of the shows only have that ability too stop me down

My issue with falling asleep while watching TV is of a physiological nature rather than me being bored. See I work 2 nights a week, so normally during the week I sleep on the same schedule. So, no matter how hard I try or desire to stay up pass 7p.m. I am usually sleep.

No, but my father in law does... and he snore so LOUD!!! GOod thing we have another tv so I watch my fav. shows in there. I agree with you the voice is kind of sleepy. maybe because his voice is monotonous.
