This is not to deprive people from following their modern practice. But you can really turn to a compromise of sorts in case you overlooked the features that come with your TV sets.

There is normally a sleep mode function that you can see on the remote so why not use it? Set your TV sleep timer to perhaps 30 minutes or 60 minutes if you think you will not be sleeping anytime soon. At least you can sleep and be assured that the TV set automatically turns off after the set time you set. Now that wasn’t hard was it?

In a world where you just have to live wiser and perform according to what companies are paying you for, employees need to know when they should also reach the point of overdoing it. It is true that employees would be wise to know when to take a break, short naps that can help them maintain their level of efficiency when they are on the job.

Allowing employees to nap is fine but while many companies are hesitant due to abuse, here are some reasons why employees need naps:

Here are five tips from 1800mattress.com consultants on how to improve Sleep Quality without changing Sleep Quantity:

Sleep Schedule: Try your best to stay on a regular pattern of going to sleep and getting up to within a one-hour window for consistency.

Wind Down Routine: Establish a regular routine to follow before sleep to help train the body to wind down and to prepare for sleep. Avoid bringing laptops, blackberries, etc., into the bedroom to limit distractions.

Sleep Temperature: Try to have your bedroom between 65-70 degrees as cooler environments are more conducive to prolonged sleep and can minimize sleep disturbances through the night.
Limit Distraction: If you must watch TV, have it on a sleep timer. Try and keep the room as dark and quiet as possible. Turn alarm clocks so you can’t see their glow as the urge to check the time can add to stress and disturb rest.

Inspect your mattress: If it squeaks, you wake up with back pain, toss and turn at night, sleep better away from home, etc., it’s probably time for a new mattress. The item most depended on to provide restorative sleep could be the biggest reason you are not getting it. Mattresses should be replaced every 5-7 years.
