I think I’m the only one in my birth family who doesn’t. My husband loves falling asleep to a tv though.

Lately, I have not been able to sleep without it. Just let myself go, the laptop and the tv will both time-out.

Nope. I can't do it. I like it pitch black with the ceiling fan on high and no other noise.

The timer is perfect. I can fall asleep with tv on but it goes off and does not wake me up later.

We purposely do not have a TV in our bedroom. If I can't sleep I'll put a podcast on instead.

I will fall asleep if I am watching something, but in general no I do not like the TV on, especially sports because the second I hear something of interest. If I am half asleep I will completely wake up to what what happened.

I do fall asleep while I read.

I cannot fall asleep with any light in our room. My wife is a night hawk and has to have the TV on when she falls asleep. She wanted a 65" TV in our bed room that is the equivalent to a spotlight in our bedroom. We have had numerous arguments about no TV in the bedroom.

No usually just some low white noise.

No, I don’t really watch tv and I prefer no lights

Although I can fall asleep with lights on

Ac 65. Fan on high. Black out lights. Audiobook/podcast on a 45 min timer.

My bedroom is for sleeping and fricking. There’s no TV in there.

I have to. Laying in a dark room trying to fall asleep will just keep my brain running at 10000mph. Between sleeping meds and watching shows I've seen a million times it help to close all those doors down that long hallway to sleep.

It's crazy how many people have shitty sleep habits then complain they can't sleep. The ideal environment is dark and cool with some sort of ambient sound whether it's a fan, sound machine, etc. I even travel with a blackout curtain and sound machine.

I nap with the TV on in afternoon, but no I would never sleep in early AM with TV on. Only lunatics do.

Phones set to "SLEEP MODE" and plugged by 9pm every night, no tv in the bedroom. Lights off, 20-30 minutes of reading with just a small flashlight and the sound machine going.

For naps I'll put on headphones with a meditation or some pink noise or something.

Took a while, but my wife finally got me acclimated to sleeping with the TV on. Took a while.
