OT: I have to fall asleep to tv. I watched this last night...

[Mr. Potter]

my better half hates that I need tv or something on to sleep but its been that way since I was a young lad. Anyone else need "noise" to fall asleep to

I had a really crappy roommate once who had to have Star Trek the next generation on when he went to sleep. He sucked.

I used to listen to music but not anymore.

If I put on an Iowa-Indiana game, I nod right off.

My wife passed some time ago and of course our boys are now men and have moved away. In any event I'm alone. I tend to turn Youtube on my computer and listen to a book or lecture or something of that nature. I'm somewhat of a WW2 or Kenneday assassination buff, so something like that. Perhaps it makes me feel less alone.

Your thoughts are mine. G-d bless. You're not alone.

Shalom

PS: This D-Day plus 20 special is great to listen to.

Try Star Trek the next generation.

Try Star Trek the next generation.

Thanks, but I was never a fan. I'm an old history teacher, so WW2 or the like is fascinating.

As a freshman at Penn State, my roommate would come in after I had already gone to sleep and then turn the TV on louder than it would be during the day. He woke me up every single time. What made it worse is I was the one who brought the TV into the dorm. Let’s just say that after a month of this happening, he knew better to do it anymore.

My freshman roommate went to live in a frat house so he just put a jar of vasoline on his bunk so no one would touch it and dipped. Everyone was happy because this guy was a fancy pants pretty boy and I'm me.

I'm in the same situation. I can't just come home and go right to bed. I need to sit and relax in front of a tv in order to calm my brain down. Tune in and turn off.

I used to be that way. At one point I made a concerted effort to break that habit. Took the TV out of my room and sucked it up for 2-3 weeks. Now I lay down and I’m usually asleep in 5 or so minutes. Wife always comments about how I crash when I go to bed. I tell her no, I just trained my body that bed is for sleep (most of the time) so my body knows when we lay down, it’s shut down time. Made a YUUUUGE positive change on my well being.

Yeah i agree. I need to calm my brain down before bed but I don’t do it in bed. I’ll sit on the couch and watch something or study for my SANS courses but never ever in bed. For me if I have stimulus in bed eventually my body will learn that bed=stimulus and it’ll be harder to go to sleep

Believe it or not I've listened to these guys. Mack Wallace's fingerprints were on a box in the TBDB. Crazy. When we played in the Cotton Bowl I went to Dealey Plaza. Could not believe how tiny it is. Perfect spot for ambush.
LBJ was a crook.


My Dad was 28th infantry division 112 regiment company K. Survived the Battle of the Bulge. He didn't talk about it much.
But I had an uncle who was a 19 year old engineer, who lost a leg on the Ludendorff Bridge at Remagen. When they got together I would eavesdrop on their conversations....between them they had no reason to hold back.
