hello mylotters! Do turn off or on the tv before you sleep? TV lulls me to sleep that is why I usually let the TV on when Im in bed. I just set the sleep timer, so that it will just turn-off automatically even when im already asleep.

Hi there chellymarz! There are times when I leave the TV on until I doze off. What I do is to set the sleep timer. However, there are times when I just simply turn off the TV and go to sleep. There are also instances when I love what I am watching but later on doze off. When I wake up in the wee hours of the morning to go to the toilet, that is when I realize that the TV is still on. I turn it off before I go back to bed.

I can not sleep if the tv isnt on,we leave it on all nite,one reason for that is I dont sleep thru the nite so when I am awake for a couple of hours I lay and watch tv until I fall back to sleep.

Hello Chelly, I turn off my TV before going to bed as I need silence and peace before I sleep. However, there have been instances when I have slept with the TV on. Sometimes it has been unintentional, that is I doze off while watching TV, and other times it has been intentional, especially after watching a scary movie. In such situations the sound of TV gives me comfort and makes me feel safe and secure :-) Happy Mylotting.........

I switch off the TV when I go to sleep but I prefer to watch some TV just before I go to sleep and if it's going to be late then I too use the sleep timer.

When I'm at home, I leave the TV on all night because I haven't tried messing or even trying to find the sleep timer on that tv. However, when I'm at school in my apartment, I'll turn the TV timer on so it does not stay on all night and save energy. Also, it ensures that the room is dark so I don't get worken up by the flickering light.

Its always been a hobby for me to watch TV before sleeping. Most of the time I wake up being screamed at by my fatherso from then on I always make sure that I already set the timer I hate it when my father shouts at me while im asleep.

I normally sleep with my TV turned off,I don't like to waste the electricity just by turning on the TV while sleeping.And if the TV is turned on,I would not get a sound sleep.Thnak You

nope i turn it off..its quite disturbing to have flashy lights while you are sleeping..

Honestly it depends on the mood i'm in. i have nights where i really want the lights to be out and have complete darkness and most other times i just like the quiet constant sound of the television to put me to sleep. I really need to start sleeping with the tv off though because i dont want to run my electric cap over. lol.

I have to have either the TV on or music playing to get a decent sleep. I'm not sure why, but I just can't get to sleep when it's really quiet.

I always lie down with the television on, but turn it off and my cd player on as soon as i get tired. Might be weird, but that's me.

I set the sleep timer for half an hour and usually end up falling asleep about half way through the timer.
