Sleeping With The TV On
 
Can you/do you fall asleep with the TV playing in the background? I have to fall asleep with BBC3 on (unless BB is on in which case I'd have BB live on) otherwise I can't get to sleep, excluding if someone's sleeping round or if I'm on holiday and there's no TV in my room, in which case I just have to deal with it :laugh:

I'm the same. I love falling asleep to sound. Its either tv shows or audiobooks.

The past 3 weeks I have been falling asleep to bb3

Edit: I always switch the screen off and just have sound coming out speakers.

Sometimes fall asleep with the TV on but never on purpose, it's a waste of electricity.

Not to mention when I'm trying to get to sleep I need complete darkness in the room, I hate seeing moving shapes and lights through my eyelids. Gets on my nerves.

Door closed, curtains closed, everything switched off = perfect nights sleep. lol

I normally leave one of the music channels on all night.

Yes sometimes I can't get to sleep without the TV on but I prefer it on silent mode with just the picture. Sometimes I can't settle otherwise.

It's so much easier to fall asleep with the telly on in the background

Chuck 27-07-2011 06:25 PM

No, I cant and I hate it :''(
The TV always must be off and the door, windows, curtains, closets and drawers must be closed.
But I always regardless of the weather sleep with the fan on :love: :love: :love:

Change "off" to "on" and I'm exactly the same.

Also sleeping with the window open :love:

Sleeping with the nice hum of the aircon - I miss it. So calming.

I dont even like having the windows open during the day, or doors even. :'(

Ninastar 27-07-2011 06:32 PM

i have to otherwise im convinced that any sound i hear is a murderer/burglar/monster and i'm going to die

Doogle 27-07-2011 06:35 PM

Same here, if the TV is ****ed or there's a powercut I have my iPod.

One noise and I'm hiding for 20 minutes under the covers.

Tom4784 27-07-2011 06:35 PM

I used to sleep with the telly on but now I can only sleep with it off.

Lewis. 27-07-2011 06:37 PM

I have to when I'm sleeping on the sofa. If I'm in my bedroom then I like to have all the lights off and be in pitch black but when I'm downstairs on the sofa everything becomes a lot scarier :tongue:

InOne 27-07-2011 06:37 PM

Not really, used to sleep with the radio on all night though

Callum 27-07-2011 06:43 PM

Never ever done this, can sleep perfectly fine without the TV on. I don't think my parents would appreciate the huge electricity bill because of it either.

Kerry 27-07-2011 08:19 PM

Can do though I often end up dreaming about whatever's on. Had loads of dreams about whats in the news. Not always good

Doogle 27-07-2011 08:21 PM

I once had a dream I was in the X Factor "caravan" due to a mix of watching...well X Factor and some documentary about gypsies :joker:

Marc 27-07-2011 08:22 PM

This thread title sounds like an album title :tongue:

joeysteele 27-07-2011 08:25 PM

No, I need total silence to get to sleep, however the TV is on all day if I am in, even not watching it, I think it's broke if it's not on.

Well once I went to sleep and I had the news on and in my dream I dreamed that there was a breaking news bullentin about a gay horse who was drunk and kept on falling over on the racecourse. And it was constantly flashing!
