Sleeping when the TV is on

I admit I’m one of those people who need to keep the television on so that I can go to sleep. I turn the volume down; never mind if I don’t hear anything while my eyes are glued to the screen. The glare is what keeps me drowsy. And like clockwork at some point, I will eventually find myself closing my eyes and dozing off to dream land. When someone tries to turn the TV off, I instantly wake up, as if my body is connected to the TV’s power source.
Are you one of those people like me? Do you prefer sleeping with the TV on? I guess that for older people, this habit is already hard to break. It’s the younger sets we should be wary of developing this.
Television viewing at bedtime, and overall heavy television viewing, caused children to resist going to bed, to have trouble falling asleep, and to sleep less than the recommended eight hours. TV watching habits, such as falling asleep in front of the television, seemed to cause sleep disturbances in 25 percent of children with behavioral sleep disorders.
“Television may serve to displace sleep time, thus shortening sleep duration to unacceptable limits,” stated the report. “The time spent by the child in television viewing may substitute for other less sedentary and/or less passive activities (like playing outside, engaging in sports activities), resulting in poor-quality sleep.”
