Do you sleep with the TV on?

[Cantw8]

I do, everynight. I can not sleep in a quiet room When I start to get sleepy, I just hit the timer for about an hour How 'bout you?

 

[Hercules10]

Nope. Gotta turn off the Bundys and turn on a fan for white noise...go figger.

 

[freckles and boo]

When I know I am not going to make it through something I set the timer. I can count on The History Channel to push me over the edge. The sad thing is I usually wake back up when the tv snaps off.

 

[MosMom]

Yes, I do. DH puts little pieces of toilet paper in his ears. I think it is a fair trade off for his snoring though. Eventually he wakes up saying the TV is too loud, I tell him the volume of the TV is in direct correlation to the volume of his snoring.

TV and camcorder on

 

[kejoda]

yep but I play That 70's show or I Love Lucy DVDs

 

[wishspirit]

It's usually a DVD. (preferably disney, but anything ive seen before). The only time i can sleep without it A) when i am REALLY tired or B) When im with my boyfriend (we are doing the long distance thing, which means i only see him about once a month! 1 1/2 years down, 2 1/2 to go!)

Yeah, we have to have the tv on to sleep. Used to leave on Nick at Night before it turned to All Fresh Prince, All the Time after 11pm. Now I usually leave it on TVLand.

The bad part is when Hailey (our blue and white poodle) wakes up and sees a dog on a commercial and she gets all fan girly over it. I swear the dog has the hots for the Bloodhound that comes to search for the cat's litter tray in the Tidy Cat commercial.

I turn on the closed captioning when DH is trying to sleep. It really comes in handy.

No, not during the week.

The only program I could truly sleep by is the 'Joy of Painting' with Bob Ross. Especially when he talked in his mellow voice about the 'puffy little clouds'. Now that's the making of a good nap.

I watch MTV? Actually, that excuse doesn't work anymore because MTV doesn't play music.

 

[NMAmy]

Nope. I don't even have a tv in the room.

 

[L107ANGEL]

Nope, I have a sound spa that I use and LOVE it!!!!!! Mostly listen to rain, waterfall and the woods in the winter. Springtime, I love to just have the windows open!

 

[Beth76]

I fall asleep all the time on the couch while watching tv. If I'm going to bed, but DH is still up, I'll put the tv on. But if he's in there, I have to turn the tv off.

 

[GeorgeG]

I refuse to have a TV in the bedroom.

 

[JR6ooo4]

I like to fall asleep with the sleep timer running. But DW does not like it so now I can't.

Not because she won't let me. Its because I know it annoys her...

Mikeeee

Springtime, I love to just have the windows open!

I don't at Uni! The noise of the bloody seagulls at 4 in the morning drive me off my rocker! The birds round here are so dang noisy! At home its fine, i live on a main road, a few birds and a few cars at night, i can cope with!

 

[Aurora63]

I leave it on, but turn the volume nearly all the way down. Its more the electrical buzz that puts me to sleep that the volume. Oh and the flickering light.

 

[yasmina]

Nope, I hate it! Unfortunately, dh can't fall asleep without it.

Thank god for flexeril!

What really ticks me off is when I wake up in the middle of the night and it's still on. Then it makes me get fully awake, rather than just rolling over in a semi-conscious state. Then of course I need to visit the bathroom, wake the dog up in his cage, and it goes on from there.....

 

[LindaG4458]

The sad thing is I usually wake back up when the tv snaps off.

Me, too. The dark and the quiet wake me right up. I have to turn the set on again so I can fall back to sleep.
