Do you have a TV in your bedroom?

[sherbanator]

 Normally I do not but the downstairs is being remodeled so the TV is in my room temporarily.  I  hate it!  I  can't stop watching  Doctor Who, I  have been staying up so late.  Two more days until I get this monster out of here.  I'm so weak, lol!

We do. I don't think it has been turned on since before Edmund was born though.

[dcannie]

yeah. i told my husband that whenever we move into a new house we aren't putting a tv in there. he is aghast at the idea.

i am the one that falls asleep as soon as the tv is turned on and it will suck h in and keep him up for hours, which he hates.

[TrickyBob]

We need to put one in our bedroom, we have plans for it.

I've been sleeping on the couch most nights in the living room and there is a tv in here. Gets me in trouble when I stay up all night watching tv.

[Deleted]

No.

There's nothing shameful about having a TV in the bedroom.

I just can't force myself to go to sleep if I have one in there.

[sherbanator]

I'm ashamed I can't turn it off!

My main reason for having a TV in the bedroom was that when I first moved in with now H I was terrified of my new surroundings. I had lived in the same house for 20 years and the different sounds of the apartment made me nervous and not able to sleep some nights. I'd put in a movie that I had seen a million times and use that as white noise. Now that I've lived here almost 7 years I have no problem falling asleep so I don't use it.

Watching it right now as I nurse. We like having a second option if one of us wants to watch something the other doesn't.

[ralphlauren]

yes..we have 2

[snickers]

We do. I watch it in the morning, and if I got to bed before H because he is watching hockey upstairs.

[kaybee85]

We used to, but our current apartment doesn't have a cable jack in the room, so we just never put one in. I like that we don't because we read when we go to bed instead of watching TV now, but sometimes I wish we had one in there to watch movies or w/e.

[lolly]

We do. I need my Today show in the morning and H likes to check the sports scores before bed.

[Waffles]

No. We only take it up when we're doing work downstairs and have to camp upstairs for a few days.

I'm one of those people who'll fall asleep almost instantly when watching tv in bed but then wake up 20 times because of the noise and nag h to turn it off.

[Deleted]

Yes.
It's not hooked up to cable, though, just to a DVD player. I use it when I'm not feeling well and I need a distraction to help me fall asleep.

[mudslide]

Yes, but it's very rarely used. I wish we used it more sometimes.

[dirtyred]

I do and I love it.

I can fall asleep in about 15 seconds if the TV is on; if it's off, we're talking 20-30 minutes.

[juliagoulia]

Yes but we barely turn it on. Mostly just for porn or cartoons in the AM when we are trying to bribe DS into letting us sleep a little longer.

[rex]

Yes, but it's just hooked up to my H's PS3 so we can watch DVDs. No cable.

I didn't want one at all but I caved to what we have. Plus, the TV is tiny.

[blueballoon]

No. If we want to watch stuff in bed we use the laptop.

[karmasabiotch]

Yes. I can't sleep without watching TV first.

[mrsukyankee]

Nope. I refuse to let DH have a tv in our bedroom. If he wants to watch before going to bed he can do it in the living room. I can't sleep with noise or light.

[lightbulbsun]

I don't. I got a TV in my room in high school and it seriously messed up my sleeping.

[cinco]

Yes. It's the only place we watch it. We don't have one in our living area, but have one in our home gym (basement)

[Deleted]

Yes, and I don't really feel like I need to justify it.

[Deleted]

Not anymore, but we did. I like not having one in the bedroom. We currently only 1 tv.

[luckyval]

Yes, but we rarely use it except to turn on the music channels during sex

[Jalapeñomel]

No.

[polarbearfans]

No tv in the bedroom. I would stay up all night watching it lol

[dragonfly08]

Yes, we have a TV in our bedroom. It's actually the only TV in the house connected to FiOS because before bedtime, to unwind, is pretty much the only time anyone ever watches broadcast TV. We'll occasionally DVR a show for the kids, and they just snuggle in our bed to watch it. There's only one other set in the house, in the kids playroom, and that's used for their DVDs, Pandora, Netflix, and the Wii.

[Cricket0619]

Yes, it actually helps me fall asleep better. We set a timer so it turns of though, so it's not on all night.
