Watching TV could easily put me to sleep.  

Hello,Salonga!No,that is not the way to a goodnight sleep.you will never enjoy sleeping with the TV playing,it distract the attention and cause damage to the brain at the long run.moreover,your bed room should be quiet,dark and free from distractions like tv and computer. my bed room is sleep-friendly,it is quiet,dark,and free from all distractions.I have kept tv and computer in different rooms.thanx.

i have watching television before sleeping,could give you disturbed sleep.

I heard this sleeping desorders from many people, me too whenever I got disturb with my sleep then I start my TV after 15 minutes I will go for sleep, some times I took my tape recorder and listen light music then my sleep on root.

Yeah basically that is what I do when I want to sleep at night. Turn on to a channel I think is a boring show and pretty soon I'll be snoring my way to dreamland.
It is also effective when I awake in the middle of the night and I could not return back to sleep. I just turn my Tv on and put it on sleep mode then before the timer ends I am usually asleep already.

i don't want the tv on or anything on when i go to bed. i have recently had to start sleeping under oxygen & like to have never got use to the noise from the oxygen machine.

I also do that sometimes, I open the tv, watch a show. but the next thing I know, it's already morning. LOL
This also reminds me of my father in the province. He will get mad at anybody who turns off the tv, which is in the living room where he sleeps, while watching the tv. KEEP SMILING => NEIL

Whenever I want to tire myself and get rid of opened eyes, I usually open a book or a magazine, or even browse things to read. Reading really makes me sleep though there are books which may do the opposite, like the Da Vinci Code of Brown, it made me more alive and became more helpless to sleep. The book by John Piper, Desiring God, also failed to bring my eyes to sleep.

I always have the TV to get me to sleep. I'm glad I'm not the only one. I can't sleep without the glare from the screen. Total darkness keeps me up and has my mind thinking twice as usual. Leaving the TV on something draining like infomercials helps me.

too tired after duty induced me to leep.

I fall asleep in front of the TV when I'm really tired. But if I had to sleep when I can't I would read a book or listen to my MP3. It works but not always. Or I would try making up a story in my head to make it a dream. Try thinking back what happened on that day and slowly I'll just dooze off.
