Default 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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.
