If you have a TV and an iPad in the bedroom, to keep in touch, you aren't exactly using your bedroom to escape from the world!

No TV or computers are allowed in the bedroom. The phones only get taken into the bedrooms if the youngest daughter is coming home late, so that she can contact us in an emergency.

Shifts: Irregular shifts are a real problem and I'm convinced that was my fathers downfall. He worked for Group 4 and was used as a "springer", because he was reliable. But that meant he would do late, early, midlle, early, nicht, middle, night, middle etc. He never got into a rhythm and died of a heart attack a couple of months before retirement.

I'm an early riser, mainly because of pain.

I must be a wreck then. I have a TV in my room and my phone is also my alarm and book so it's in the room with me.

I know lots of people who have the TV on to send them to sleep and reading a book in bed makes me drowsy.

As I've said in another thread everyone is different and most of the points made in this non article are common sense.

I can't happily nod off watching TV. Using my phone on the other hand keeps me awake. I suspect it has more to do with the fact I'm interacting with the phone that keeps me awake though.

I can't sleep if the TV is on, at best I doze.

We both don't want anything in the bedroom, other than our eBook readers.

But in the article specifically said that they were going to their bedroom to escape from the world, by watching TV and interacting with Facebook... :roll: That isn't escaping from the world.

Some people find it relaxing to be in a cozy environment while communicating with friends around the globe

I don't dispute that, just the stupidity of the comment of "escaping from the world", by actually interacting with it...
