I can but I prefer it to be on.
When i am at my mums I go to bed about 1/2am and switch the TV on, before sleeping. When she goes to bed about 2:30/3am she turns it off.
When I'm at my dads I go to bed about 10 and have to turn it off because he goes to bed about 9.

I always turn it off before sleeping
My telly has a timer it turns itself off anyway!

I meant to vote no
I have my tv on a 3 hour timer when i go to sleep. Little bit of noise helps me get to sleep. (Watching c4 bb live feeds late at night helped a lot when they were sleeping)

Varies.
Some nights I can some I can't.
Normally goes on at some point in the early hours due to my insomnia and I nod on and off.

Mine does but it's about 6 hours and because the walls are so thin everyone can hear it even when it's on volume 2 :joker:

I always have something pretty to sing me to sleep. Recently its been London Grammar / Alt J / Corinne Bailey Rae.
(Its a laptop thats permanently plugged into the TV, and I get some YT playlist up, I turn the brightness down and set a sleep timer so the TV automatically switches off an hour later, the TV then blasts the laptops 3 alarms 8 hours later).

This used to be me but now I don't have a TV in the bedroom. These days I can't sleep without listening to ASMR on my phone.

When I was younger I did go through a phase of needing the light on and the television. Now though I can't stand any noise whatsoever.

yes
but i usually have to have the light on lol, more for practical reasons though. for whatever reason it allows me to wake up about 7am whereas whenever i have the light off i seem to sleep right through to 11 or whenever. not sure why.
i need complete darkness and silence

I never have the TV on while asleep at night.
I like silence.
Meant to vote yes on the poll but somehow ticked no it seems.

I can sleep with Slayer's 'Seasons in the Abyss' blasting from my stereo so the telly's not even a consideration.
My 'sleep' is more of a state of unconsciousness than a light nap mind you!
Edit; Thought it said ''with your telly on''.
I just pass out. I do prefer the telly to be on when i come around though.

I hate when it's on, I like the room to be dark and cold and the tv does just the opposite. :oh:

I can't imagine anything worse than having a tv on when I'm trying to get precious sleep!
