How do you feel about a TV in the bedroom? I normally don't like it, but have decided to give it a try. What do you think? Is TV in the bedroom helpful or hindering to your night?

I don't like a tv in the bedroom because it takes away husband/wife time. We only have a tv in the living room.

@mikaelajuliet We used to have one in the room in our old house but my husband was more focused on it than me. We both agreed it was an interference.

@LovingMyBabies its great that you were able to discuss it. we'll take it out if it becomes a distraction, but i think it'll be nice to be able to watch movies in bed

No, no! It's a nono. No tv in the bedroom. That's my philosophy.

@mikaelajuliet It's bad enough you have it in your living room so why would you want in in the bedroom where you go to sleep.

I want a tv in my bedroom. Sometimes when I go to sleep I would like to watch tv a bit more but I don't have it in my bedroom. I will get one someday.

Hate it in the bedroom, never have had one because the bedroom is for sleeping. I don't even like them in hotel rooms but we do turn it on in a hotel to get the weather and news...

I've had a TV in my room for the longest time, even when I moved. Since I've lived in my apartment for 3 years, there's no jack for my dormant TV. I believe the previous owners had a flat screen TV somehow. I know my neighbors have it, since I can hear it next door from my room. But my TV is back-up, just in case something happens to this one, while it's collecting dust.

I'm fine with it and have one in mine. Its no different than having one in the livingroom to me. Doesnt take away alone time or anything just makes it so when someone has the livingroom tv, you can still watch something too, and when sick you can stay in bed and still watch tv. Or late at night when cant sleep.

We have a tv in our bedroom. We cuddle at night and watch movies. Does not affect our relationship at all.

In my house T.V is kept in the living room,where the whole family can sit together and watch. I feel it is better to keep t.v in the living room.If kept in bedroom all members can't watch. Otherwise there should be two T.v's in the house.
