Do you think having a tv inside your bedroom is a good idea? email this discussion to a friend?

I have a tv inside my bedroom for years now. In my experience, it has advantages and disadvantages as well. For me, I find it very relaxing watching tv lying down and while waiting for my eyes to fall asleep. I just need to set the timer for an hour or so depending on what I like. But sometimes, it's also a cause for staying up very late at night esp. when you encountered a very interesting program or movie which is just starting and it's already late, but still you tend to finish it until the wee hours in the morning. This is the disadvantage part because we all know for a fact that staying up late every single night is not good for one's health. If you are already used to it, it really becomes a habit and it will take time to change it. This is a word of advice to all parents, if you still have small children, don't ever put a tv inside your bedroom for it will not be good for them.

I like a T.V in my room as that is where I spend the most time. Sometimes it will put me to sleep. I understand though that watching T.V before you go to bed can cause you to stay awake longer. It may keep couples from talking out their problems and they could go to bed mad at each other. Children certainly should not have a T.V in their room.

Yes, I agree with you. Having a tv inside your bedrooom will prevent couples from talking to each other and discuss whatever problems they have.

We had a tv in our bedroom for years, but now we have a laptop in the bedroom instead,
We both think its much more fun
I agree that small children maybe dont need a television in their room.

Haha!Good for you.It's indeed a lot more fun. Yes, small children must not have a television in their bedrooms. Their sleeping time will be affected if there will be a tv. Thanks for responding. Have a nice day!

I get what your saying, but since I have direct tv dvr recorder, all I gotta do is set it to record and then I can watch what ever program later.


santos_mlirs (55)  2 months ago

Well, that's a good idea. Thanks for responding.

There is a television in my room as well as in both of my kids rooms..I don't see any problems with having a television in your room although none of us really watch that much television on our bedroom televisions. The television in our bedroom is usually only turned on in the morning when we watch our local news and then the rest of the time it is usually off. There is the occasional time when my husband and I will watch it on a weekend when we are in there but that is very rare. My kids will watch their televisions a lot on the weekends and then we also let them watch for half and hour at bed time..I know that some parents think television isn't good for children but I also feel that you can't hide your children from the evils of the world all their lives and as far as my children go as much television as they watch is may be 2 hours a week so I don't think with that short amount of time corrupts them too badly. We like to watch movies on the weekends and feel that it's nice family time.

I'm not saying that televisions are not good for children. It will depend of course on the programs that they are watching. Most often than not, it is also a means of educating children esp. if they are watching wholesome and good programs. My point here is, it really needs discipline when the tv is inside your bedroom or the children's bedrooom. In your part, your doing good coz you just allow your kids to watch for 2 hours so it will not affect their sleeping habits at night.

I had my TV in my bed room for about 2 weeks before i started getting these head pounding head aches. Watching TV in your room close up with all the lights off can damage your vision, so i don't do it anymore.


santos_mlirs (55)  1 month ago

It's good that you're not doing that anymore. It's not really healthy for us to have televisions in our bedrooms. We usually tend to be staying up late at night so it affects our sleeping habits which is not good for our health. Also I agree with you, it can also damage our vision. Thanks for responding. Have a nice day!

In my observation its not a good idea to have a TV at your bedroom. My parents have diff. TV sets in their room, well the other one is in the living room connected to their bedroom. So when my parents are fighting over the t.v remote control one would transfer to the living room. And both of them watches TV with the light turned off which is not good for their eyes. Geez.

2nd, they forget to turn the t.v off once they start to fall asleep while watching. @_@ and that would add up on our utility bill. @_@ and at this rate where everything's price is on the hike i don't think thats also healthy for our family budget. @_@ extra digits on our bills. @_@

happy mylotting:)


santos_mlirs (55)  1 month ago

Hi!snowdoll487. I guess, you should be giving your parents more preaching about that haha. Definitely, it will add up to your utility bill which is not good for the family budget. Well, if they are the ones paying for it, then it's no longer your concern and your problem. It will be your parents' problem. Thanks for responding. Happy mylotting too!

as much as i wanted to but parents are parents.. you cant tell them off.. @_@
