Yes, there is a television in the bedroom. When I want to go to sleep, I just turn it off.
What if she wants to fall asleep first?

She snores, and the noise from the tv helps mask it. We also spend quite a bit of time in the bedroom on our days off, just lying in bed watching a couple movies.
I'm not saying it's the best thing to do, just answering your question.
I'm not saying it's bad or good, I was just curious. Thanks for contribution.
I'm not in a couple, but NO to having a TV in the bedroom. And you people Who like to fall asleep when it is on - do you really feel comfortable with listening to advertising messages when you are mentally at your most vulnerable? Don't you think those late night tv commercials are designed to manipulate people who are falling asleep? I think it is straight up crazy to sleep with a tv on. A few times a year I fall asleep on my couch in front of the tv, usually on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Let me tell you, it does affect the way you dream. I see it that clearly, since I don't do it often.
oh please, how does a commercial affect the way a person sleeps? You must be a light sleeper or easily manipulated. Depending on how exhausted i am from work, when i'm gone, i am gone! By being gone, I mean you could probably steal the couch/bed i'm sleeping on and i'd still be gone.
People who have TV in their bedroom have less sex, so, NO, we do not have a TV in the bedroom, and never plan to! So far, it's worked very well to keep the bedroom a sanctuary for sleep and sex.

In my husband's case it's a Triple "S" - sleep, sex and snore.

I picture you outside random bedrooms peeping through windows at night with a clipboard and a calculator.

buhahaha, this is so ridiculous. What evidence do you have to support that statement?

Before my son was born, I needed TV in the bedroom to fall asleep. My husband would work really late hours and I was and still am afraid of the dark. TV was like a background noise after awhile to occupy my brain. When my son was born, my brain was no longer busy checking out every noise in the darkness of my home and I stopped watching TV to fall asleep, therefore when we moved to Florida, we decided to keep it out of our bedroom.
If you ever feel you need that background noise again, instead of putting a TV in the bedroom, try a white noise machine. That's what I use, and I love it. Just enough sound so that I don't hear things like the fridge running, the furnace kicking on and off, rainstorms (unless they're really loud), creaks in the floor, etc.
