Way back in the 60s bedtime was 8 o’clock except on Mondays when I was allowed to stay up an hour later so I could watch The Man From U.N.C.L.E. I often fell asleep before the end and Dad would carry me off to bed. Dad was a big fan of the show too and the next morning he would tell me how it ended.
I seldom turn on TV but when I do – to weather channel. They got the most boring shows of all. Ice road truckers, Ice pilots, Frozen Gold, Road to Hell. Terrible boring crap. Sure beats seeing/hearing about bad things happening in the world by FOOLS who kill. Beats taking any pill to aid sleep. How to watch stupids on TV – weather channel. 24/7.
Wow … I had this exact same conversation with my dad when I was a kid, except the roles were reversed. (only now do I understand the need to “rest one’s eyes”)

When I fall asleep watching TV the program merges into my dream.

Resting my eyes, thinking, what ever you want to call it, the snoring gives you away.

My mom is like that. But she is 87. On the other side snoring watching TV speaks volumes about how interesting TV is.

Couldn’t fall asleep, so he came in here and turned on something really boring to watch on tv. Works every time. Infomercials are the best…“But wait…”

i’ve found that the fastest way to get to sleep is to start watching a good movie…

I’ve snored with my eyes open… even napped while playing a game too… sigh.

Noisy Eye Syndrome is one of the early warning signs of teen-age insomnia. :)

If two people live in a house, one of them says, “I was watching that!” and the other says, “You were sleeping for hours!”

“Wake up and go to bed”. Never understood that instruction. Still don’t.
