Re: TV in the bedroom?

Technically a monitor but it serves the purpose of a TV. We did have two but the second was in an inconvenient place. My partner is the TV-watching person but I have been known to join them for some things, or watch things on a stand-alone TV if my computer is too slow.

The bedroom screen is not governed by the automatic lights-out that happens at 11:30 every night, so if my partner falls asleep with the screen on, I get to turn it off, generally by hand because I don't want to speak to the bedroom Home Assistant while they're asleep.

I don't need much of a will save against TV in the bedroom as some people, because I didn't grow up with a TV and I feel a pretty substantial barrier to starting to watch. My relationship with my phone is something else, but having audiobooks set to time out after an hour will usually convince me to lie down and close my eyes. Which the MythBusters did tell us was better than nothing! (There was an article going around saying that six hours of sleep "was the same" as No Sleep At All. The headline writer ought to have their journalism license stripped: doing 6 hours of sleep per night, for a considerable duration of time causes the same level of impairedness as something like two or three days of no sleep at all. Insomnia is a matter for harm reduction, not sensationalism.)
