Sleep? I do, i cannot sleep if the TV is not on. That started about 10years ago. LOL-I pick a channel and turn over and go to bed.

I used to do that, but my mom fusses me out when I do that, so I just cut it off before going to sleep. :(

I used to be like that when I was obsessed with watching TV, but I got over that.

Up until 3 years ago, I needed some form of light in my room. I wasnt afraid of the dark, I just had to be able to see around my room. Now, it has to be pitch black.

Up until last year, Id have to have the radio playing in the background, now, it has to be absolute silent.

Every once in a while I get into my L&S mood and watch an episode or 2 a nite in bed. HD, L&S, and Gidget are the only shows I dont get bored with on tape.

I used to but not anymore. I need a dim light,though. I can't fall asleep when it's pitch dark because it takes me awhile before I actually fall asleep and I keep opening my eyes usually to see what time it is, and I just hate it being like you didn't open you're eyes at all because it's so dark lol.

I don't. I don't have a TV in my room, so that makes it kind of hard to do.

I don't, but I just got a TV for my bedroom and sometimes watch TV late at night before I got to sleep. Lately, though, I HAVE to have a fan in my bedroom running all night for some noise. I guess it's called "white noise". My mom and brother have always done this when they sleep. I guess I take after them. It just helps me sleep better, instead of total silence.

Nope, I need pitch black and silence in order to fall asleep.

:tv:I go to sleep with the TV on.....i got into the habit as a kid. If not TV then i need some type a noise like radio, or like someone said before a fan going......As far as light i like a little so i can see where i am going at night in case i gotta get up......but not to much;)

Nope, but I leave my computer on (my comp is in my bedroom). I always turn my TV off before going to sleep. I need total darkness in order to sleep. :D (I just turn my monitor off...no prob)

I don't NEED it on, I just like it on. I usually turn on Harry Potter or Rockapella and set the sleep timer for 60 minutes. If it's completely silent I keep thinking and then I don't fall asleep for hours, as opposed to about 30-45 minutes.

It's impossible for me to fall asleep without a TV on. I only watch Nick@Nite or TV Land because the shows aren't intellectually stimulating.
I can't watch a movie or a documentary because I'll watch the entire show whereas I can fall asleep to All In The Family, Three's Company or other sitcoms very easily.

I can't sleep with the TV on. My room has to be completely dark, otherwise I can't sleep.

No, I turn it off, I'm always afraid that a storm will come or something and my sweet innocent TV will get struck by lightning. Yeah, I'm pessimistic, like really bad. lol. I guess it's because of that one time that I saw lightning come through a window in my house. I was like 11 I was standing in front of the tv in the living room and it went through the window that was right beside me and went to the satelite box, but it didn't get to it, I don't guess because the satelite still worked but I'll never forget that EVER. That was sooooo creepy.

I wouldn't know. I'm not fotunate enough to have a tv in my room. I have one now though due to relatives being over. But after that, it's going into the lobby again. I need the radio to go to sleep though. I just set my stereo on sleep mode so it turns off in two hours.

I also need the tv on too sleep- just for like a background noise. And even if I am asleep and it's turned off, it's like I'm psychic and wake up to turn it back on.

Yes, I have to have the TV on to fall asleep. If it's too quiet and dark I feel spooked and can't sleep.
