I haven’t had a TV in my bedroom in over 20 years. I had an ex who always wanted it on all the time, even to sleep to, and it drove me crazy.

    “No screens in the bedroom” was supposed to to help me sleep better years ago, it didn’t really matter if they’re in there or not but I still keep to the rule.

      We listen to music, read, has the sexes and other things but no TV in the bedroom. Always a rule for us.

    No TV in the bedroom, just the living room. I do find comfort at times from a soft livestream, but I normally sleep better in quiet darkness.

    I understand the hard-line approach, but for me it’s situational. A laptop for those times is sufficient.

    No TV in the bedroom! That’s for rich people, like people who have ice makers in the fridge and the whiring blades in the sink!

    Ew no. Absolutely not. TV in the bedroom is the antithesis of sleep hygiene.

    For heavens sake, no. There is a TV in the living room, and a small one in the studio. A TV does not belong in any bedroom.

    Especially not a modern “smart” TV with built-in microphones…

    One of the few things we agree on with my spouse is not having a TV in the bedroom. The TV in the living room and our PCs are enough, the bedroom is for sleeping.

    No TV in the bedroom for me. No need, really. The bedroom is for sex and sleep, nothing else.

    No TV at all, and no social media other than federated platforms and YouTube these days, and I only use alternative no algo clients for YouTube. If I hear about something to watch, I sail the high seas, find it, watch it. If I like it, it goes into my backups.

    One of these days I might buy an old ass TV and set up a JellyFin server, but I’m fine with my 1080p monitor. I only watch like 2 shows at a time max, and keep up with like 5 or 6 YT channels. No time and no need for others.

    Admittedly, my computer is in my bedroom though. I always have had my computer in my bedroom though, so that’s just a personal taste thing.

    In smaller places, yes. It was the video game window.

    In bigger places later on no. Bedroom is for sleeping.

    Yes and no.

    Occasionally I like to fall asleep to SNL or a football game in the fall, but my bedroom is also haunted and the ghost likes to turn the TV on at weird times, so I leave it unplugged the vast majority of the time.

    No TV in the bedroom. The bedroom is for sleeping and sex. (I have 2 TVs in the living room, but I am using them as PC monitors and don’t watch TV and only subscribe to crunchy roll.)
