While many experts recommend couples not to have a TV in the bedroom, it's very common. Many people like to wind down before bed, such as watch 15-30mins of TV. Would you hav ea problem with your S/O texting or surfing the net instead of watching TV?

Yes.We turn the cells off at night - if it's an emergency call the house number.

I fall asleep many nights in bed with my laptop... I just have the power settings to where it will kinda shut down after a certain amount of inactivity. My husband has never complained, he has joked, you sleep with your computer.

I have noticed he has fallen asleep in front of his laptop too on several occasions... I really do not care, doesn't bother me a bit if he does, as long as he stays out of my room.

My wife and I refuse to have a tv or notebook in our bedroom. We would rather make love before bed than play with electronic toys.

I used to take my laptop to bed with me and I no longer do so. Doing that racked up some mighty expense on the dorkiest crap that I would find on Ebay.

I sleep with my TV on, have a hard time sleeping with it off. I would not care if my SO tinkered with his toy in bed as long as it didn't interfere with me tinkering with his.

I'm guilty of having my laptop (rarely these days) or my iPhone on in bed. But my iPhone is also my remote for controlling my music, tvshows & movies in my bedroom (AppleTV).

We watch TV or listen to music in bed. I usually fall asleep with it on, because I find it easier to sleep with ambient noise. If he wanted to surf the net, I'd probably have an issue with it, only because he's a keyboard POUNDER (and also types super slow, which makes me want to take the keyboard from him and type for him). Other than that, no, I really don't care one way or the other.

I have also found that drinking and eBay don't mix.

I had a couple of drinks one time and was biding on a laptop. My drunk a@@ bid on two.

Thankfully, I lost on both.
