Having the TV on didn't keep me awake. Like the noise of a fan on a hot summer's day, it just became a sort of comforting background noise.
It doesn't work now as an adult. Now if I try to sleep and the TV is on it just feels like someone's trying to talk in my ear when i'm focused on something else and it's annoying. The exception to this is ASMR videos, or really any type of video that is geared toward relaxation and sleep.
