Many people with chronic insomnia tell me that they fall asleep in front of the TV (usually because it helps them relax and distracts their minds from worrying about sleep).

There are a couple of problems with this:

1. If you fall asleep with the TV playing throughout the night, the quality of your sleep will suffer.

2. If you watch TV in bed or fall asleep on the couch while watching TV, you are missing the opportunity to pair your bed with sleep.

You do not need to give up watching TV at night. Instead, just avoid watching TV in bed, and, if you regularly find yourself falling asleep in front of the TV, set a timer or an alarm to act as a cue for you to switch off the TV and return to bed.
