Fortunately for me I can watch my news and anything I recorded from the night before while she is out slaving over a hot desk all day. A couple of hours of TV a day is about all I can stand.

Now, we have many shows we both like and I enjoy watching those shows with her, but when we go on vacation, she likes to have the TV in the hotel room on ALL NIGHT. We've worked out a system of covering it partially with towels so the light doesn't keep me awake since I hate any light in the room when I'm trying to sleep.

My husband is a genius at finding stuff you can stream. Now I can watch German TV if I want to. We also use the TV as background noise for going to sleep. Reruns of Seinfeld or Frasier are great for that. Luckily, our TV has a timer so it turns off after we fall asleep.Pixel Peeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17553862902461169270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-19370826923305756842016-01-07T17:50:13.898-05:002016-01-07T17:50:13.898-05:00Mine is on all day also since I have tinnitus.

We even have a rule for the Grands - no TV until after dinner when they visit. We tell them that we want to actually converse with them.

We have a white noise machine though because we had some horrible neighbors that would let their dogs bark at all hours of the night.

The only time the t.v. is on in our house is to watch a movie on those rare moments when everyone is home together. When I'm sewing I have on Netflix, Hulu or Youtube creepy crime show and at night it's Mother Angelica. My dog even knows when it's time for bed. She hear the Mother Angelica into and jumps in her bed! :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
