For me to fall asleep,I need it dark in the room,light bothers me.I sleep with music on.I ask this because some people sleep with their tv going,I can't fall asleep with a tv on,because it lights up the room and has annoying commercials,that are disturbing to me.I was wondering if you sleep with the tv off or on?

I agree! In order to fall asleep properly, I need the TV off, I need the lights off, I need to have quiet. I don't like sleeping with a lot of noise or lights. I'm sure you've fallen asleep when had the TV on, latenight movie or something, but normally I just cannot go to sleep. Plus with all the noises from the commercials and movies. It makes it hard to sleep. Cheers and happy myLotting!

When I sleep, I also need it dark in the room. What's more, I also need it quiet in the room. If there is any light or any sound in the room, I cannot fall asleep. So it is always hard for me to fall asleep. This really bothers me a lot.

That's how I like it when I sleep,in the dark.I find light very disturbing to my sleep.I usually play soft music,I don't like noise when I go to sleep.

I generally watch it.. Then turn it off, all just before I sleep. However if I am exceptionally tired.. I can sometimes fall to sleep with the tv on. I prefer light for some reason... But can sleep in the darkness too... I'd like to get some relaxing music but... Well, I am getting some soon. :) Will be nice.

I leave the tv on when I'm about to sleep. I just put it in timer so it goes off by itself. The sound from the tv helps me sleep.. sometimes.

hi java09, i think it may not correct all time.because all these things tv,lights etc.. were distubing to our mind wheneve we sleep.if we sleep well,then the mind is pleasant and fresh every morning.so try to turnoff and sleep... Whenever i sleep,totally i switch off all these things.

I so agree. If I am having a real problem getting to sleep I turn on one of the music channels I have on Cable. It helps alot! I used to leave the tv on until three televisions in a row went out on me. I started thinking: Huh? Maybe I should turn it off occasionally. I have the timer so I turn it on and eventually the poor thing turns off.

Hi Java, I usually leave the TV on - I set it to go off in one hour's time. The noises and music from the tv will lull me off to sleep.

I sleep better with the TV on. The sound has to be down low but it provides me with the "white noise" that makes sleeping possible for me. If the room is too dark and quiet I hear every bump in the night. Usually it is the kids or dogs moving around in the house but it is enough to wake me up.
