I haven’t had a TV in my bedroom in over 20 years. I had an ex who always wanted it on all the time, even to sleep to, and it drove me crazy.
My husband and I don’t have a TV in our bedroom. We’ll go to bed at different times, and a TV going is just too much light and noise. If one of us wants to fall asleep to a TV show, there’s a very comfortable couch in the living room.
I think it might be different if we had kids. In that case, having a TV in the bedroom can be useful, in case you want to watch something kids aren’t old enough for yet. But it’s just the two of us, so we keep a TV out of the bedroom. The bedroom is for sleeping and other activities.
I think the better question and the one that would get more yes or no answers is do you have any screens in your bedroom? Not necessarily televisions.
I think significantly more people watch their phones in bed than they do large TVs.
I sleep better with a YouTube video playing as I fall asleep (specifically something from Vinny Vinesauce’s Fullsauce channel).
No.
TV in a bedroom is just a bad idea for overall health.
Yes because it’s another room we are able to chill in separately and it was my very old TV before I decided to upgrade to 4k. We have a living room but on some occasions we want to watch our own shows. It gets used about once a week. It’s not used before bed. I don’t see the issue if you’re able to use it without fucking up your life. We don’t have a TV in the children’s rooms. We have a kitchen with a small dining table - no mobile devices allowed so makes sense not to have a tv. We don’t have any other rooms.
Yes, but we never watch anything on it unless we are sick in bed. Screen time happens elsewhere in the house to separate the sleep from the family time.
I don’t have those things and I don’t have a TV in my bedroom. I do have my PC in there though and I watch shit on that. It’s off when I’m going to sleep though.
Yes and no.
Occasionally I like to fall asleep to SNL or a football game in the fall, but my bedroom is also haunted and the ghost like to turn the TV on at weird times, so I leave it unplugged the vast majority of the time.
Ew no. Absolutely not. TV in the bedroom is the antithesis of sleep hygiene.
Me nodding sagely to this comment as I scroll in bed
For heavens sake, no. There is a TV in the living room, and a small one in the studio. A TV does not belong in any bedroom.
Especially not a modern “smart” TV with built-in microphones…
Embarrassed to let it hear you wanking?
I don’t own a TV. I’d rather be on my computer approximately 100% of the time.
No bedroom TV. As an ADHD person, that’s just a ‘never-going-to-sleep’ trap. I do have a list of youtube channels I put on my phone at lowest volume and screen off for background noise. It can’t be too interesting or I won’t sleep; it just needs to keep my mind from wandering in bad directions.
I do. It keeps me off my phone and I can watch the shows I have on my list. And, when I suffer from nightmares, it provides me some comfort. But, then again, I still technically sleep with a night light despite my age so maybe I’m an exception.
I feel big screen is slightly better than looking at my phone all the time. Like putting on a movie or show makes me focus on one thing at a time, and when I want to go bed, the sounds of the natural doc I have on make me go to sleep fast. I know people recommend no blue light at all, but for me, it’s better to pick something slightly less bad, imo. I’m all for TV in the bedroom.
where else am I supposed to watch my pornos?
ofc there’s a TV in the bedroom. one in the bathroom, the kitchen, the laundry room, the family room, the living room, the dining room, the breakfast nook, all the bedrooms, the office, the garage, the patio.
so what you’re saying is that you live in a one room shack?
I’ve got one but really basically never use it
It’s just the old one from the living room though I’d never buy a bedroom TV
