Do you fall asleep with the tv on?

17 Comments

I've been wondering about this for awhile as to what other people do. When I go to bed, I fall asleep with the TV on and it stays on overnight. For some odd reason, I can't cut it off, it makes me feel a bit strange if do. Whenever I come across people that do otherwise, I find it very weird because sometimes I think everyone is exactly like me, when they're not... It's a bad habit I have to get out of.

    I can't sleep if my laptop's on or my television's on or any light is left on. Which is good I suppose; saves electricity.

    I was never able to sleep with the tv on. I hate the flashiness of the scene changes and stuff. I need darkness. A fan for noise is needed though.

    I always turn it off, even if it's at a friend's house just before I sleep.

    Same here. I need the distraction from my thoughts so I can relax and fall asleep.

      I think that may be the exact same reason why I leave mine on. I overthink too much when I'm trying to fall asleep and it just causes too much distress.

    I hate TV. I hardly watch it. When I have my own apartment/house/whatever, I probably won't get a TV. Instead, I'll get a huge computer display and download shows via bittorrent, Netflix, or whatever similar service is available by then. There are only a handful of worthwhile TV shows around today anyway.

    I used to fall asleep with the TV on but then I recognized that this uses electricity so then.. I kinda stopped and now my whole household is saving on electric bills.. such a win win situation do you not think?!

    Leaving the tv on every single night wastes sooo much power and electricity. It adds up... It can also mess with the way you sleep. Having constant light and sound, makes your sleep less deep. This "light polution" <-- yeah that's what they call it... can even cause depression. I swear, look it up! I learned this in psychology.

    I sometimes switch between tv on overnight and tv off. When I was a kid I would always have the tv on. But now I turn it off as it wastes power.

    I don't purposely leave it on but quite often fall asleep before I've turnt it off or set timer.
    Sometimes wake up at 5 or something (normally half hour before I have to be up for work) & switch it off

    It's a must-all night! If it's not on, I hear too many little random noises which freak me out. I always end up having to go check to see what this or that noise was.
