What puts you to sleep? Is it reading, music, t.v.?

My cat Tomas fell asleep reading his favorite book - Reading puts my cat to sleep.  Actually it doesn't take much for him to go to sleep, like most cats he sleeps all the time except when he's on top of my computer swishing his tail in my face.

Television puts me to sleep. Most of the time I can't go to sleep without the tv on. Reading seems to keep me awake, though I do love to read. I have to fall asleep to a show I kind of like too, unless I'm really tired or sleepy.

Me too, sometimes. If I can't sleep at all, I will get on the computer.

I have to have the tv on to go to sleep. I can't sleep if it's too quiet and radio seems to keep me awake so I leave the tv on.

Same with me. If I turn off the the tv too soon my mind just starts thinking about all kinds of things. Music doesn't do it for me either.

You sound like my mom. She is a very light sleeper, the opposite of myself. When I was a teenager I could turn my stereo down to it's lowest volume where I could barely hear it and she would hear it and yell at me to turn it down.

My husband likes the TV on to go to sleep. I can go to sleep on my own. I hope this will last.

reading puts me to sleep! :) but it depends on the material... magazines keep me awake, while novels/short stories puts me to sleep. television keeps me awake, but it tires me to sleep. music just helps me improve my mood - to be calm, and have a good night's sleep... i used to put on some earphones, and that can doze me off... but they say it's not advisable. since your head is "running" with the music, it can't rest.. is that true?

Yeah, I really hate when I fall asleep watching a show I really wanted to see, especially when I make it through the whole show, till the last 5 minutes.

Reading keeps me awake too, but I still keep a book on my headboard. Iturn the tv on and put it on sleep, because I always fall asleep with the tv on and it drives my husband crazy. He has to come in and take my glasses off. LOL

Usually being infront of the TV will put me to sleep if I'm tried enough, if that fails than music does the trick.

Oh, he loves cat mysteries and romance stories. I like the same, but with people. Maybe if you read a cat mystery it will put you to sleep.

I read every night to wind down. It usually relaxes me enough to journey on to La La Land.
