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.
No TV in my bedroom. The only time we spend in there is sleeping.
I assume you use the Red Room for other things.
The kitchen is the sex room.
A gentleman never tells!
Exactly this. Preferably also no phone, but since they are easier to move around it happens…
I already have a magical rectangle my dumb ass likes to look at already. I don’t want another.
“No screens in the bedroom” was supposed to to help me sleep better years ago, it didn’t really matter if they’re in there or not but I still keep to the rule.
We listen to music, read, has the sexes and other things but no TV in the bedroom. Always a rule for us.
No TV in the bedroom for me. No need, really. The bedroom is for sex and sleep, nothing else.
Exactly. Not even phones allowed. Pitch black darkness during the night. Best sleep ever.
No TV in the bedroom. The bedroom is for sleeping and sex. (I have 2 TVs in the living room, but I am using them as PC monitors and don’t watch TV and only subscribe to crunchy roll.)
We have no tv. None.
No TV in the bedroom, just the living room. I do find comfort at times from a soft livestream, but I normally sleep better in quiet darkness.
I understand the hard-line approach, but for me it’s situational. A laptop for those times is sufficient.
I used to, but I haven’t for about 10 years or so. By the time I go to bed, I want to sleep. I might browse my phone for a few minutes first.
A TV in the bedroom also encourages you to stay in bed longer in the morning.
No. My bedroom is for sleeping and only for sleeping. No computer, no TV, etc. That’s not to say I don’t scroll on my phone in bed, but in general I try to make my brain associate it with sleep.
Also, it’s amazing how much easier it is to clean my room now that I’m an adult and don’t have to keep every possession I own in that room.
No sex?
They’re on Lemmy, why is that even a question?
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
Pretty neat if you’re interested in missing all the movies’ endings.
I have a smart watch that can detect when I fall asleep. I would love it if there was a way to sync that time stamp with when I started a movie and automatically fast forward to 5 mins before then.
It would have to be some third party integration so the streaming service doesn’t harvest the data and decide to stop making things I enjoy because I had a long day.
I think samsung or android does this. I noticed that my tablet at night will randomly be paused on a black screen and when I wake it it’ll be paused on a video around 5 or 10 minutes after I fell asleep, it’s creepy but I guess it helps me not miss my youtube videos
I took a protip from that CGP Grey video “Spaceship You” and so my bedroom is only used for 3 things;
- sex
- sleep
- naps
Had one in the room growing up. Had one when I moved out. Took it out when I got married, and haven’t had one for well over a decade.
One in the living room though. Bought it when we got married. Stupid thing won’t die so I can justify replacing it.
there is a boomer joke hidden in your last sentence
Sometimes we do, sometimes we don’t. I do watch in the bedroom sometimes, but I find that I don’t use the one in our living room at all and have considered reclaiming the space. For me, the reason for having it in the bedroom is that there is an extra heater in there in the winter and it’s extra cool in there during the summer because it’s not on the top floor and is shielded from the sun by landscaping so it heats up much slower. It does heat up a bit slower now that my gaming PC got moved to my office.
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?
