I'm one of those who watches tv from the bed 'til I fall asleep. When I turn it off, her snoring keeps me awake, so then I turn it on again.
She doesn't mind as long as it doesn't get too loud... and it doesn't... as long as her snoring doesn't get too loud.
Snoring, don't get me started on that one either. Some nights, I'm up all night telling him to be quite. He says he has to fall asleep with the TV on or he can;t go to sleep. He has sleeping problems too. I wonder why?
OHHH my ex was like that - he HAD TO FALL ASLEEP TO THE TV - he'd put it on the timer function. Which I never knew TVs had til we were together
The nextguy (my now husband) I told him - the tv gets shut OFF to go to bed. He usually turns over before I ever click it off - so I just turn it off when I'm done - It's been wonderful
Sorry my ex was into himself and this was never resolved
Well...have separate bedrooms, visit together fer two hours a nite.................seven nites a week........................................ .................hohohoho
When it comes time for bed, my DH likes to have the TV on to go to sleep. On the other hand, it interupts my sleep by not being able to sleep or wakes me up. We have a TV in the living room and I feel he should watch it there until he's ready to go to bed. There are times he has the TV on till 2 AM. The next day I wake up tired b/c I didn't sleep well. UGHH!
The TV is highly disruptive to the brain waves, especially while unconscious or sleeping. Can you talk to him calmly and rationally and tell him how much it is affecting you?
You know, having a TV in the bedroom kills your sex life LOL We have one in ours but we never watch television in bed. My SO used to do that all the time too and then I was like look, I can't sleep with that on so you have to either go downstairs if you are not tired or turn it off. That said, we no longer watch television in bed.
I told my then bf that I don't want a tv in the bedroom. and he was ok with that. there were times were we both felt like watching tv in bed, so we would pull it around the corner (in my apt it would reach) and watch tv, but only when we felt like it and it wasn't done often.
or we would sometimes use the pullout couch in the living room and sleep out there. just for a fun change.
but if the OP's hub won't take her feelings and sleep needs into consideration, he's got other problems to deal with.
Snoring, don't get me started on that one either. Some nights, I'm up all night telling him to be quite. He says he has to fall asleep with the TV on or he can;t go to sleep. He has sleeping problems too. I wonder why?
I bet it's job stress. People sometimes need the tv on to take their minds off work problems, bill problems or other things that would have them tossing and turning all night long.
well, it's just the fact that he's not listening to her when she says it interferes with her sleep, or that she's losing sleep over it. It's kind of a bigger issue than just watching tv in bed.
