Should you have a TV in the Bedroom? All the specialists appear to say no. Bed is for sex and sleep. It should not be used for anything that you associate with being awake. This is sound advice and if you have Insomnia or any sleeping problem where you have trouble going to sleep then again do not have a TV in the bedroom.
But I have Restless Leg Syndrome, Periodic Limb Movement Disorder, Sleep Apnea and Idiopathic Hypersomnia. I go to sleep in about 1/2 an hour. If I watch TV in bed I will dose off and often have very little memory of the program. If my Restless Legs (and arms ) were playing up it would distract me from this and help me go to sleep. My wife has Fibromyalgia which includes sleeping problems. Again the TV helps her relax so it is easier for her to go to sleep after watching the TV in bed.
My conclusion is that if you have Insomnia or trouble going to sleep and the TV will keep you awake then do not watch TV in bed. But if the TV helps you relax or distracts you from problems that might keep you awake or the TV helps you nod off then I believe TV in bed is a good thing. I would like positive feed back from both points of view.
