Title: Do you read or watch television in bed?
Post by: sommap on August 11, 2011, 08:27:01 am: I have never had a t.v. set in my bedroom. I have never wanted one. I like to read and will read for a while when I go to bed.

Title: Re: Do you read or watch television in bed?
Post by: trekbabe on August 11, 2011, 11:46:45 am: Yes, I do read and watch televison in bed. I know it's not a good thing to do, but the tv is in my room. It is hard not to watch it. As for reading - bed is my favorite place to read!
Title: Re: Do you read or watch television in bed?
Post by: kapeh12 on August 11, 2011, 12:23:43 pm: I used to have my old dorm TV in my bedroom before I moved. I only watched it from bed rarely - typically if I was sick or if there was a movie/tv show I wanted to watch on the weekend and just didn't feel like sitting up on the couch. Mostly I used it in the mornings to watch the Weather channel as I got ready for work.

Now that TV's in my home office and nothing's in my bedroom.

Post by: miriah1brandon on August 11, 2011, 01:05:34 pm: I use to watch tv in bed but I recently moved and I have not got my own place yet. I read a little but not in bed usually on the couch where I am staying right now.
Title: Re: Do you read or watch television in bed?
Post by: samrhett2 on August 11, 2011, 01:21:42 pm: Yes, yes and yes. Horrible habit, but I have my TV on 24/7. I have a very large bedroom with a seating area and my desktop computer sits on a desk in there. I work on the computer and have the TV on. When I get in bed I have the laptop going and still watching TV and I fall asleep and let it stay on all night. Sometimes I wake up and watch for awhile. I know it is a bad habit, but I have done that for years and cannot hardly sleep without a TV on.

Title: Re: Do you read or watch television in bed?
Post by: frozenimage on August 12, 2011, 12:06:28 am: I used to... but then I got too lazy and gained weight. I think bed should just be used for sleeping and the tv in the living room.
Title: Re: Do you read or watch television in bed?
Post by: luvh8tragedy87 on August 12, 2011, 12:24:36 am: I do both. But recently I've started reading more in bed instead of watching TV.
Title: Re: Do you read or watch television in bed?
Post by: Consultsone on August 12, 2011, 12:37:15 am: Both ... I have heard it's not a good idea because it doesn't let your mind relax before bed.
I don't seem to have that problem.
I do my work, read, watch TV, snack in bed.
I found this great hospital tray in a junk store that comes in handy to being a bed desk.
Title: Re: Do you read or watch television in bed?
Post by: Lusie on August 12, 2011, 09:42:20 am: I do love to read in bed. Even though I have a TV in my room it is not even plugged up. I feel that TV time should be time with family, friends and room mates. Although considering my room mates have a hard time sharing I may wind up breaking that rule.

Title: Re: Do you read or watch television in bed?
Post by: lvstephanie on August 15, 2011, 08:06:49 am: Both. I have a TV in the bedroom and a book on the nightstand. I have a roommate who doesn't have a TV yet, so I usually watch TV in my bedroom and allow my roomie to use the one in the family room. It's actually the few times that I watch TV; during the day I tend to be either working or going out with friends.

I have never had a t.v. set in my bedroom. I have never wanted one. I like to read and will read for a while when I go to bed.

I'm the same way. I have to have some quite reading time to get to sleep. I don't understand how people go to sleep with the t.v. on.
