Felling asleep with the television on, do you?

My tv has a timer. When i go to bed i set it to shut off about 1 hour after i get into bed.

I do so virtually every time, but then, my TV is usually tuned to a soft music channel. The only drawback to this is that the channel keeps the TV's bright light shining. They used to allow the screen go black, & if one wanted to learn the name of a piece of music or its composer or artist, all one needed to do was tap the remote, & it would show for half a minute or so. Sometimes I find the glare bothersome. The series of music channels offered by my cable company is called Music Choice. They have a much larger selection of music types than do the radio stations available, so playing the radio isn't an option, or I would! I sometimes play "Seasonal" & "Classical" channels, but mostly I prefer the channel "Soundscapes," which plays largely instrumental music, & is basically "newage" (not a typo! It rhymes with what I think of the philosophy, & I swiped the term from Penn & Teller). A lot of it is Celtic & "world" music, & it's mostly gorgeous stuff. It gives me nice dreams.

It is often unintentionally when I dozed off in front of the television. The biggest irony is that the moment I woke up, realised the tv is on, switched it off and return back to my room, I am not able to sleep!

Hi. keshia2007r. Yes. I have fallen asleep many times. Since my husband has put a TV in our bedroom, I will watch the show on our TV until I go to sleep. It is fun, because I love the shows that are on the TV. I end up falling asleep in my eyeglasses too.

No, I can never fall asleep with the television on. I am the type of person who needs white noise to sleep, like a fan. If the tv is on, I will never fall asleep because I will concentrate on hearing what it is saying. I can't even sleep if I can hear myself breathe. I have a problem with insomnia anyway. Sleeping is like torture to me sometimes.

I don't but my roommate does. She always has to have it on the Disney Channel of Family Guy when she goes to sleep. Strange combination, right? Shes an odd one but she is a great friend. I hardly have my television on at all but she has hers on nearly constantly and has apparently fallen asleep with the TV on since she was very little. So hers is definitely intentionally.

I do the same thing. I have my laptop by my bed, and I get whole seasons of a TV show, and just watch the next one on the list while I'm lying in bed getting to sleep. Usually watch one from bed, then turn over and listen to the next one as I fall asleep. I find it really comforting, and I seem to get to sleep pretty well. Although, the real best way to get to sleep is to read at night. Something about the low lighting and looking over the pages makes you tired quite easily (as long as the book isn't TOO thrilling) and you drift off quite easy.

For me not to it my husband is going well to it.

I did on the television set since I entered my hotel room until the next day morning when I check out. ha! ha! ha! I were doing so because I were alone in the hotel for the whole night. I were too lonely and I felt the room was too quiet. At home, I never have such habit. I am sure this is not a healthy habit to keep the television set on when I am sleeping. Not only my ears and my eyes can not fully rest, but also the radiation from the television set can harm my health too.

Hahaha your sleep is better with the TV or watching the TV. I am also watching TV before sleeping with my hubby but we are fight for channel hahaha they wants news and I wants serial.

Well, i have,many times. But on the sofa. Not intentionaly. Watching some borring movie mostly. Z z z z....

I do. But it was unintentionally done. I was very tired when that happened. Another was when i was sick i couldnt afford to miss my favorite show unfortunately id still fell asleep. Poor me! Hahaha

I've done that several times. =) Watching television usually makes me feel relax and at ease.

My room has to be dark and quiet in order for me to sleep. I tried leaving those calming ocean waves to help me sleep one night and it did not help at all.

I love watching TV especially late nights. If I'm very tired, I end up falling asleep even if my favorite show is on. I wake up 30 minutes to 1 hour later and realize what I was watching is already over and it's already a different show on the TV.

Sometimes I do fall asleep with the t.v. on. But much of the time I do it unintentionally. I don't really need the t.v. on to help me fall asleep. I know it really is kinda like wasting power if I left the t.v. on when I am not watching it. So I try not to do that. There are times when I fall asleep for a couple of hours with the t.v. still running.

I habe been guilty of falling asleep with the television before. I get too relaxed and into a program and before i know it i am asleep and i have missed the end of my program but i don';t think that i care at that point.

Hi Keshia! Yeah I do the same. Lol. I usually like sleeping with the TV on and the channel would either be in the news or in National Geographic. Somehow this 2 TV programs helps me fall asleep faster.

I used to on the TV and fall asleep before. Now I can already sleep without the TV! Even though sometimes is intentionally done, especially when I am with my brother. The last time I did that was around 4 years ago I guess. It's been a long time since I've fallen asleep with the TV on.

I never do because I had this horrible experience with it: I fell asleep with the show "Criminal Minds" on and I had a terrible nightmare where someone was trying to break into my apartment and kill me! I woke up and saw that that show was on an episode where a serial killer breaks into womens' apartments and murders them so that is why no more tv on while I'm sleeping, lol!
