TV, Napping, and You!

I use to fall asleep to music cause it caused pretty dreams. Now that I'm married I have to try to go to sleep in a dark quiet room... My dreams end up all twisted now.

Kals is questing again!

If I'm exhausted enough to fall asleep with the "tv" on (aka some tv show playing on my computer) I generally wake up feeling awful. I do like to fall asleep to music if it's nice and quiet, and that is frequently my last, desperate, attempt to fall asleep when insomnia is stalking me. The music allows my brain to focus on something and stop spinning and keeping me awake. I try not to use it too much because I know I will become desensitized if I do.

I can't fall asleep unless I'm so beat I pass out or it's really quiet and dark. But if I'm just lazing on the couch, chances are NCIS, CSI, House or some cartoons are on.

The History Channel xd
works like a charm smile
and i actually like the channel itself, it's not boring, but works like a charm smile

I can't sleep with the tv on unless I'm really tired and I can't purposefully influence my dreams. They have a mind of their own. sweatdrop

When I was a teenager, I would fall asleep with music on. My parents' house was really really old, so it creaked and made all kind of weird noises, and with music on I couldn't hear them. >.>;

I've never been able to sleep with the TV on unless I'm absolutely exhausted, and even then I don't find I sleep well.

I live on a really noisy street now (and my roommates are inconsiderate pigs) so now I just sleep with earplugs in.

I never leave the TV on. I do what you do when I come home; I take a shower, I make a sandwich and turn on the TV on some afternoon sitcom (Scrubs, Malcolm in the Middle etc.) It's incredible how so many of these sitcoms are better than the prime-time shows of today now that they no longer send Cold Case, Criminal Minds or CSI (my favorites) BEFORE 11pm. You know, eventually a girl has to get her beauty sleep! After eating the sandwich I get drowsy and nap for an hour or so. But when I go to bed I put on a tape/dvd of old Trapdoor or Beetlejuice cartoon. From there it takes about fifteen minutes to fall asleep. I usually don't dream anything special when playing them, maybe except from that time I had an indecent one about the evil hunchbacked guy. But that was only once and he was very considerate. wink

I have to sleep in total darkness. I can't sleep with a lot of sounds and lights on.

Whenever I sleep with the tv on I get a horrible sleep.. Then again the tv's in my living room.
When I listen to the radio and the dj starts to talk it ends up in my dreams. It'll be an action scene and all the sudden someone says "that was Katy Perry with Hot and Cold". It's so weird when that happens, it always wakes me up! sweatdrop
I remember watching the first few episodes of Saiyuki and I started to have a dream with what the characters were saying but I can't remember what it was...
