Yes. I can't sleep if I don't have the tv on.

Nope.

When I was in an apartment with my dad, I had a TV (along with two computers) in my bedroom.

I didn't like having the computers in there, so when I moved into a flat with some extra space, I put them in another room. And since I like having a TV in with the computers, I put that in the other room too. So, my bedroom's been without a TV for several months now and I don't really miss it in there.

No...but I couldn't go without my computer. However, my apartment is really just like one big room...lol. It's kinda bare all things considered.

Nope - my parents (who are fairly superstitious people) have this very big thing about their daughter wearing glasses so no TV for me but even then, there wouldn't be enough space in my bedroom. Plus, I'm more a computer person than a TV person...I hardly watch TV at all nowadays.

Living with my parents my room is like a really small apartment. Bedroom, tv room, library, even a small pantry. If I just had a fridge, microwave, and toilet I'd never leave.

No. There is only one TV (that works) in the entire house.

My crazy pack-rat brother has two non-working TVs that have been residing here for the last several years as if 19" TVs circa 1981 & 1986 still have some value. Well, technically they do have value, but it's negative.

My bedroom is multifunctional too. There's an espresso bar in the closet. I made a mini home theater system inside a cabinet. It has cable, dvd player, speakers, and a headphone audio amplifier. I mostly watch movies on it with the headphones.

You are my idol.



Yes, I have a tv in my room. I'd have insomnia regardless, though.

Yes, but I don't watch it too much. Usually just have it on at night for background and watch it when there is something I want to see on.

Yes,but I hardly ever watch it - I like watching TV in the living room better - keep it off much of the time,I really like it quite.

Yes, but it is not connected to any stations. I just use it occasionally to watch DVDs while lifting weights and occasionally playing the Wii or Super Nintendo. Otherwise it mostly sits there disused.

Yes. I usually have it on without sound while I'm doing other things.

In the rare occasion that I really want to watch a movie or something I often forget about it or fall asleep before it comes on.
