A member asked:

Is leaving the tv on while i fall asleep causing me to be restless?

7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

No: No, some people need the "white" noise to fall and remain asleep. It all depends on what you are use to.

Possibly: Try turning it off and see what happens. Try it for a week. A very dark room is best for sleep.
