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 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.

    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.)

    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.

    Ew no. Absolutely not. TV in the bedroom is the antithesis of sleep hygiene.

      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

    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.

    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.
