Sleeping with the tv on

I know a few people who sleep with the tv on... what's with that? a bunch of years back i would have this friend, and when we stayed over at his house he would always sleep in the basement on the couch with the tv on... he had a bed, but i don't think he ever actually slept in it. and the worst part was, he only got one channel (the new vr, local channel) and there wasn't even anything good on.

Since than I have met a few people who can't sleep unless they have a tv on for background noise... but I hate the tv, it always wakes me up because the background noise isn't consistant... I like to sleep with a fan on, 'cause that's just constant white noise.

the wierd part is, i've noticed that some people who sleep with the tv on always complain that they don't sleep well. i think it's 'cause they have a tv on, but apparently, they can't sleep without the tv on...

anyone here sleep with the tv on? what made you start... i don't like tv.

i sleep with the TV on at first. my timer is set to turn the tv off at 3am. so i go to sleep with a lil background noise but it is quite to the point that i cant even understand words most the time.

i also have room A/C so i turn that on to keep myroom cool. so that alone is pretty loud and takes over the tv sound.

i used to have a box fan at the end blowing on myhead. that kept a constand noise and a nice breeze in the summer times

When I'm tired and just laying on the couch than it's just a natural thing. Makes me sleep so well. I used to listen to music everynight to fall asleep for some background sound. Couldn't tell you why though.

i can't sleep if the tv's on, i just keep watching it and watching it. I have to have silence and darkness to sleep well.

Tv tuned to "the score" and i sleep like a baby on the couch - especially when there's hours of baseball highlights.
sometimes if you don't sleep deep enough, the tv creeps into your dreams..

it's like sleeping with a fan on - i can't do it without.

I had a roomate who couldn't sleep unless it was on. It freakinn sucked. He would sometimes wake up at like 3am and turn it on, then go to sleep, then I would wake up and turn it off...we just kept doing that till we beat the shit out of each other one night.

i always thought that everyone was like me, slept in the dark with no noise. apparently most of my friends sleep with music or tv on. im curios to know why anyone would start doing that. i think its weird when i fall asleep and the tv is on then i wake up and its still on (same with music) cause it feels like i didnt sleep, idk its something that ties in with the night before. its like i was asleep for a second

its such a ridiculous waste of energy to leave the tv on all night, if you really "need" it to fall asleep at least take ten seconds to figure out the timer

i sleep with the tv on with the sound really low, to where i can hear noise but can't make out what the words are... for some reason i can fall asleep faster. when its dark i think about stuff and takes longer for me to fall asleep because my mind will wonder.

i cannot sleep with the TV on, but every night when i go to bed, i start a playlist on my computer with miles davis and sonny rollins. its about an hour and a half long, and it helps me go to sleep.

the only reason some people can sleep with the tv on and others can't is the same exact senario as pavlov's(sp) dog. phsycological conditioning

I used to do the EXACT same thing at the cottge when I was younger. I could only sleep with the TV on and all we got was the new VR (which sucked.. all they played then was like the 3 stooges, which got old) but now i HATE sleeping with the TV i usually end up paying attention to the TV and not trying to fall asleep.
