There is a difference on opinion where watching TV in bed is concerned. Many people will tell you that they only fall asleep whilst watching the telly but other people will say that they cannot stand to have it on as it only keeps them awake.
So what is the truth of the matter? I think in all reality it depends on the people involved and on a couple of other things that I will mention.
TV could actually provide a useful tool for getting yourself off to sleep if done correctly.
When people try to fall asleep to their telly, they normally make at least one of three mistakes that i am going to mention.
Some people neglect to put the sleep timer on their sets. This is a bad idea. In doing this, you’re going to either fall asleep with the set turned on, or you’re going to force yourself to turn it off while you’re still awake.
The change in atmosphere will confuse your body and you may be up for longer as a result. Use a sleep timer, and set it for an hour or two out, as you’ll be putting less pressure on yourself in the event that your timer runs out while you’re still awake.
Then there is the trouble with volume, if it’s on very loud then you obviously wont sleep because you are disturbed by the noise but equally as troubling is if you have the sound down too low that you end up concentrating too hard on trying to hear it or forgetting that the TV is on altogether which is pointless.
Also, if you’re watching a programme or a film that you like, that’s fine but it shouldn’t be so interesting after all, it’s not on for the sake of watching really.
If the programme ends up being something you really enjoy or are finding particularly interesting then you will have a hard time of drifting off, as it is likely to keep grabbing your attention. You should ideally watch something, which is not too good but just about reasonable viewing.
