Do you fall asleep in front of the tv?

I can't fall asleep with the tv on. I don't understand why people will sleep in a chair with the tv on? If they're tired why don't they just get up and go to bed? And if you wake them up and tell them to go to bed why don't they?

Once in a blue moon, if I am very, very tired I might drift off while the children are still watching television, but it will usually only be for a few minutes. Normally the tv or the radio or any noise like that prevents me from falling asleep. I guess since having kids I've become even more of a light sleeper.

I go to bed when I am tired and turn the tv on. I always fall asleep with the tv on....for some reason it is easier for me to relax with it on. If it gets turned off before I am asleep, I have to turn it back on.

at night, i dont leave the tv on when i go to sleep. i make sure i turn it off before going to sleep. But during the afternoon when i take naps in front of the tv, i usually leave it turned on. i cant take a nap without the sound of a tv in the background. ^__^;;

Me personally, I don't fall asleep watching TV, but my husband and my youngest son both do quite often. I guess they don't get up because they are too sleepy to move. I know I feel that way sometime, like I can't move I'm so tired.

It hapens to me sometimes when i was overly tired but i can't really sleep well because of the noise of TV. I like to relax and watch TV before i go to bed regardless how tired i'm ,because it makes me fall in sleep quicker.

Sometimes I do, it's rare but it happened before. I can fall asleep almost anywhere as long as I'm tired enough. or in front of the tv if the program is boring enough :) I'm not the best fan of tv in the world, but me and hubby have and agreement where I do sit down with him watching tv each night instead of just being on the computer. He enjoys watching tv and as agreed I sit beside him. Sometimes it's a good program and I pay attention, sometimes it's just too boring and I fall asleep LOL As for the rest of your questions , maybe I am tired but not enough to go to bed yet, or maybe it's still daytime.It has happened. Now if someone woke me up to tell me to go to bed.. I would be in a very bad mood. If I"m sleeping, let me sleep. I will wake up if it becomes to uncomfortable and will go to bed. And if I don't it's probably because I'm nice and comfortable, so don't disturb my sleep :)
