I been sleeping with the TV on for 20 years and counting:lol:

Who else???

Solomon, I'm the same as you. I must, absolutely must have the tv on. It was an issue for Lou and I for decades. He doesn't like the tv on. This drove us into separate bedrooms at one point. He'd sleep in the guest room when he really needed a good night sleep. It became a habit, but all is good as he's back in the big bed, and I mean BIG bed.

We put two Queen size beds together; then I got Lou this black satin mask thing that wraps around his head and stays on with velcro. It acts as a blindfold and ear muffs, so he doesn't hear or see anything. Problem solved.

I think my very last act in life will be channel searching. :D

If I fall asleep with the television on, I sometimes incorporate whatever show is on into my dreams. Once I fell asleep while 'Your World With Neil Cavuto" was on, and I had a dream that Neil stopped by for dinner. Weird. I prefer to sleep with the TV off, but I rarely happen to doze off while it's on.

I'm with Family Ties Forever. Unless I'm completely exhausted then I can't sleep with the TV on. Lately I've been using ear plugs for complete silence lol. I used them at my boyfriends house and I grew to love them.

:lol: That cracked me up. I think it was the casual way you stated it. I've had tv and movies creep into my dreams as well.

It was a VERY bizarre dream! It really seemed so real! :lol:

I can't sleep with the television on, as I need complete and total silence and darkness before I can fall asleep.

me i have always slept with the tv on even as a kid we are in good company as i have read that celebs like cher and tv producer lorne michaels also sleep with the tv on

I watch in bed and then turn it off right before I fall asleep

Not me unless I'm SUPER exhausted. Silence is golden works for me.

If it was up to me I would probably turn it off before falling asleep but my wife (of 10 years) likes to fall asleep with it on. Not surprisingly She wins that battle.

"A happy wife makes for a happy life."

A tv running would be too distracting for me. I sleep with a fan running. Even in the winter. I turn it away from me. It drowns out any outside noise. Only one drawback. I would never hear if anyone was breaking into the house. Another thing is that I haven't heard the summer crickets chirping for years! I love to hear that on summer nights. But I still can hear thunderstorms, which I like to hear in the night.:D

LOL Roger!!! That happened to me the other night, I fell asleep on the couch(which I do often) and Golden Girls came on and I had a couple dreams about Betty White!!

This is weird but whenever I stay in a hotel, I tend to leave the TV on all night when I sleep, I guess to drown out any other noise that goes on outside. At home, like I said I fall asleep on the couch, then about 2 or 3 in the morning, I wake up, turn the TV off and go to bed.

Me, too. I have a fan on (set on a timer for about 2 hours).

I also have the radio on (very low volume), also on a timer. I don't like a quiet room. I think one reason is because it was very quiet just before the 1994 Northridge earthquake.

I can't fall asleep with noise in the background and I have to have the room dark. One reason why we do not have a TV in the bedroom.

This used to happen to me all the time! I used to always sleep with the TV on and I would have the craziest TV dreams. It was actually kind of fun. However, I finally got to the point where I was not really getting good sleep. I decided to force myself to learn to sleep with the TV off. It took a while, but now I can't even stand the TV on when I am sleeping. I like the room dark and quiet. I get much better sleep that way.

No way, the TV is totally distracting when I am tryin to sleep

I can't sleep with a TV or radio on, but I do run a small fan to block the traffic noise.

I never in my life heard of someone not having a TV in the bedroom:lol: :lol: :lol:

Good question TV Fact. I agree with Roger. I fall asleep with the TV on and I always dream about the characters in the show. I usually do it with with a DVD in the player. I pick the show I want if I happen to want to dream about that show and those characters. Usually its a TV show. For example. 7th Heaven and I will dream about The characters and its so crazy because they treat me like I am one of them. I never have nightmares because of this. My favorite is Gilligans Island. I dreamed once that Ginger asked me to merry her. Wow that was a dream lol. I also heard that Hospitals will play music when a person goes under for surgery. I heard it relaxes them better. Now for me, the down side of this is, I wake up and my ears are ringing sometimes. They will ring for about 20 minutes before it stops.

Well you have now. I believe that someone made a thread similar to this one once before and I said that I didn't have a TV in my bedroom.

Stop making up statistics LOL. Sorry I don't fit that mold. You have a more peaceful sleep without a tv running in the background wasting electricity.

Well just to let you know my TV has a feature that makes the backlight darker which makes the room darker and I have the volume on low

Yeah I know, so why sleep with the TV on? Afraid of the dark? LOL

No I don't want to hear any mice nibbling on anything once everything is shut off:lol: :lol:

I sleep in absolute quiet. I turn off the movie/show if I'm feeling tired while laying down and watching it.

When I was a teen I used to sleep with my CD player headphones on, but that didn't last long.

Try falling asleep with something like SAW or Hostel on. :lol:
