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.

But who is right? Well, no one is right actually as everyone is different but there are some things which will affect a person’s views on this.

There are some useful tips for getting yourself off to sleep while watching TV. TV could be a great method for aiding sleep if done properly.

There are three major mistakes that people make when they try to fall asleep with a television turned on. Let’s take a look at each, along with the corresponding solutions.

It is a very good idea to use the sleep timer. Neglecting the sleep timer will see that you either have to leave it on the entire night, which will affect your sleep, or you will eventually have to wake up and turn it off which of course will interrupt your sleep completely.

If you aren’t used to using the TV as a method of getting off to sleep then your body will not be used to it at first. The sleep timer will allow your body to feel relaxed after it has gone off to sleep and setting it for enough time won’t accidentally wake you up if it goes off just as your going off which would disturb you.

Also, don’t have it up so loud that the neighbours can hear it, for obvious reasons, but also you shouldn’t have it on too low that you are having trouble to hear it yourself as you will end up lying there awake and ignoring the TV completely so you might as well not have it on at all. Try to find a volume that is somewhere in between the two that your body can relax to.

Lastly, make sure that you tune in to the right kind of programming. You want it to be something you’re interested in, but it shouldn’t be too interesting.

It’s fine to watch something interesting but try not to be distracted every couple of minutes to the point where your no longer interested in sleep but in watching the TV. Ideally, it should be something you don’t mind watching but not something that you really want to watch.
