I haven’t had a TV in my bedroom in over 20 years. I had an ex who always wanted it on all the time, even to sleep to, and it drove me crazy.
No. My bedroom is for sleeping and only for sleeping. No computer, no TV, etc. That’s not to say I don’t scroll on my phone in bed, but in general I try to make my brain associate it with sleep.
Also, it’s amazing how much easier it is to clean my room now that I’m an adult and don’t have to keep every possession I own in that room.
No sex?
They’re on Lemmy, why is that even a question?
Sometimes we do, sometimes we don’t. I do watch in the bedroom sometimes, but I find that I don’t use the one in our living room at all and have considered reclaiming the space. For me, the reason for having it in the bedroom is that there is an extra heater in there in the winter and it’s extra cool in there during the summer because it’s not on the top floor and is shielded from the sun by landscaping so it heats up much slower. It does heat up a bit slower now that my gaming PC got moved to my office.
No TV in my bedroom. The only time we spend in there is sleeping.
I assume you use the Red Room for other things.
The kitchen is the sex room.
A gentleman never tells!
Exactly this. Preferably also no phone, but since they are easier to move around it happens…
I already have a magical rectangle my dumb ass likes to look at already. I don’t want another.
No TV in the bedroom for me. No need, really. The bedroom is for sex and sleep, nothing else.
Exactly. Not even phones allowed. Pitch black darkness during the night. Best sleep ever.
No TV in the bedroom. The bedroom is for sleeping and sex. (I have 2 TVs in the living room, but I am using them as PC monitors and don’t watch TV and only subscribe to crunchy roll.)
“No screens in the bedroom” was supposed to to help me sleep better years ago, it didn’t really matter if they’re in there or not but I still keep to the rule.
We listen to music, read, has the sexes and other things but no TV in the bedroom. Always a rule for us.
I used to, but I haven’t for about 10 years or so. By the time I go to bed, I want to sleep. I might browse my phone for a few minutes first.
A TV in the bedroom also encourages you to stay in bed longer in the morning.
Had one in the room growing up. Had one when I moved out. Took it out when I got married, and haven’t had one for well over a decade.
One in the living room though. Bought it when we got married. Stupid thing won’t die so I can justify replacing it.
there is a boomer joke hidden in your last sentence
We have no tv. None.
We don’t have a TV at all.
No TV in the bedroom, just the living room. I do find comfort at times from a soft livestream, but I normally sleep better in quiet darkness.
I understand the hard-line approach, but for me it’s situational. A laptop for those times is sufficient.
I took a protip from that CGP Grey video “Spaceship You” and so my bedroom is only used for 3 things;
- sex
- sleep
- naps
Ew no. Absolutely not. TV in the bedroom is the antithesis of sleep hygiene.
Me nodding sagely to this comment as I scroll in bed
I have a TV in my bedroom set up specifically for in case I have a friend over and we want to cuddle on the bed and watch stuff. It’s hooked up to my computer for ad-free YouTube but is separate from my regular computer monitor.
My roommates do have a living room TV but I feel weird about cuddling in front of them.
I mean, could always cuddle with them.
I don’t like my roommates enough to even hang out let alone cuddle, but in August that will change and I’ll have roommates I do want to cuddle with.
