I can't fall asleep unless the TV's on...

[Nate Dogg]

..most of the time...and I never fall asleep unless I'm facing AWAY from the TV, so I hear it over my shoulder....Is this normal? Am I fucked up? (and it doesn't matter what's on, by the way...)

When I grow up I'll be stable...

I can't fall asleep with the tv on. And yes, you're messed up, but that has nothing to do with the tv and your sleeping habits.

j/k

Thanks...I know there has to be others out there with this same affliction...

my ex was the same way.

I'm the same way....so if you're messed up then I am too. In fact, one time I fell asleep & had an arm jimmy that sent my remote flying across the room. It woke me up when it crashed into the wall.

You are fucked up.
I have to go to sleep with the tv on and it has to be an interesting show that I can get into or I will be annoyed and won't sleep. I usually wake up a couple of hours later and turn it off and go to bed, because it I stay on the couch my back will hurt.

No, you're not fucked up. I used to do the exact same thing until I went to college and had no TV. And whenever I go home, I still do it. I suppose it's possible that both of us are fucked up, but what are the odds of that?

Drugs are garbage...just REFUSE.

I usually can't sleep unless I have some sort of background music.

And when I'm at home I'll leave the 24-hour news channels on while I sleep. I figure I'll wake up if anything important happens

So, to answer your question, yes you're normal

I do the exact same thing.
