    Default Sleeping With the TV On...

    Do you sleep with the TV on? I can't! It drives me crazy and keeps me awake, yet I know tons of people who do this, and it makes no sense to me!

    I used to fall asleep with the television on. I always put the sleep timer on for around 45 minutes though.

    I never used to, but my husband does so now I do most of the time. Not TV though; we usually put on a DVD of The Office. Before that it was always South Park, and The Simpsons before that.

    It has to be something we've seen at least a couple of times so we can picture it in our heads while we close our eyes. It's a very effective way of not keeping yourself up with your own thinking.

    Only if I've seen a scary movie recently and I'm sleeping alone

    I got in the habit of doing so at my mom's house because it was very quiet there and I had trouble falling asleep. I don't anymore, largely because I don't have a TV in my room at my apartment.

    I don't understand how anyone can sleep to music or television. I always get distracted thinking about the sounds.

    The point is to think about the sounds so you can't think about anything else.

    I always do literary or musical analysis on them because I'm a nerd.

    Used to kinda be the same for me, but after a while it started to bug me a lot. I can't really sleep with any sound anymore, it wakes me right up.

    I can't sleep in absolute silence anymore. I have to at least have music going.

    1) it's a waste of energy, which = a waste of money!

    2) how the hell can anyone sleep to the TV or the radio or anything. I honestly can't see it Ok, so sometimes when absoloutely shattered I have passed out in front of the TV but I'm talking like 9 hours sleep in a week or more.

    I sleep with the television muted, because I'm afraid of what's in the dark... ;~;

    No, but really, I am... 3:

    I can't stand to sleep with sound, but light is okay. :3

    Considering the amount of power a 42" plasma TV uses, I wouldn't do it even if I liked it.
