Hit The Hay With The TV On

By Vince Harris


The kind of response you will get all depends on who you are asking. There are some people who have to be watching TV in order to fall asleep. Then there are others who believe that by watching TV, you are going to stay awake way longer than you should.

Just what is the answer to this question and who should we believe? The truth of the matter is that it definitely hinges on the particular person as well as certain other factors.

Let's take a look at the best way to use the TV as a means of falling asleep. This could easily help you out at night if gone about the right way.

Whenever people are trying to go to sleep with a television on, they make three big mistakes. Here we will discuss each of them and offer a solution.

There are those people who just simply forget to set the sleep timer on their TVs; now that is a very bad idea. Because by not remembering to do that, you are either going to have to get up and turn it off and still be awake, or it will still be turned on when you fall asleep.

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.

Another mistake that people make is using the wrong volume. Some people simply have it too loud, which will stimulate energy and may keep you awake. On the other hand, if it's too low, you may be exerting yourself in order to hear what's being said, which can leave you thinking and awake. Find a nice middle ground and this will no longer be an issue.

Last but not least, you need to watch the correct type of programming. You want to fall asleep, so it needs to be something you want to watch, but not very interesting.

If you are watching a program that is exciting and capturing all your attention, you will most likely be kept awake all the way through it. So, watch one that is fairly good, but by no means great.
