I can go a very long time without watching TV, actually I can go without it completely. But the only times where I feel like I need to watch it are when my favorite shows come on. But right now since none of my shows have started again, they all had their season finales I don’t watch TV at all. Is anyone else like this?

I need to watch TV when I'm eating and before I go to bed. I dont think I can fall asleep without a TV on.

I agree Tiffy.. I fall asleep to the TV too. And even when my favorite shows aren't playing new episodes I watch the old ones and actually know what channel to turn to according to what time it is.

I have to fall asleep with the radio on..

I can actually go a long time without TV. But the times it comes most handy are through sleepless nights where I just cant fall asleep. Fresh Prince of Belair is usually on in the middle of the night. It keeps me entertained for like an hour till I'm able to finally fall asleep and then wake up and be tired all day =P

For some reason I can fall asleep to movies, but not to tv.  It's weird, I'm a total channel surfer, I'm always looking for something more interesting to watch and I get really into shows.  But to movies, I know I can just re-watch what I missed, and get into it all over again later. 

I really enjoy reading books and some people say that reading before you go to sleep helps you fall asleep. It doesn't for me because I get so into it and I dont want to put the book down. What does help a lot tho are those audio books. Those books where you can buy a CD and it reads it to you and you just listen. I put that on and I end up hearing the story and getting all those images in my head but since my eyes are closed and I'm not sitting up straight with the lights on reading I fall right asleep. It's like a bed time story.

That's a really good idea. I never even to think to buy those. I fall asleep to my TV, but I heard that's bad for you.

Why is it bad to fall asleep to your tv??
