Do you lie down or sit up straight while watching television?

I love to take my snacks lie on the crouch and watch television instead of sitting up straight. I know lying down is bad for eye-sight. But, it really relax. I will do that in an event my children are not around or asleep. Reason being I do not want them to have the same habit like I do. How about you, sit straight or lie down?

I lie down. It's so much more comfortable, plus it makes me ready for bed at night. I've never heard that lying down to watch TV is bad though. I know as a child I was always told not to sit close to the screen because that was bad for your eyes.

Generally i sit straight or comfortably leaning with pillow on my back on my bed and watch television as i don't want it to affect my eye sight as it is watching too much television and internet can put stress on one's eyes. Besides it is bad habit. But there was time when i use to watch lot of television then i used to lie down and enjoy my favouirte soaps eating snacks. Nowadays i have become a good boy. LOL.

I watch a lot of TV in bed and am usually laying down when doing so. Problem is, more often than not I end up falling asleep and missing half the show that I'm watching. I usually set up the TIVO for the shows that I'm going to watch in bed so I can catch the rest of it the next day.

Hello,maehan,I also like to have snacks when I am watching TV,the posture may be different everytime,sometimes i will sit up straight watching something like news programme,I will pay more attention to it,othertimes when i am watching a movie,i may just like down on the bed and having some snacks at the same time.
