Your TV could be costing you a good night of sleep

 

I’m surprised, sometimes, at the number of people who watch TV right up until they roll over and go to sleep. It’s one of the reasons late-night talk shows exist. Some people take things a step further, leaving their TV on overnight. I’ll admit, I do like to fall asleep to YouTube videos — but I only ever put them on my phone or Nest Hub, both of which are far smaller than a TV and automatically dim their brightness to make things easier. A 55-inch TV can illuminate an entire room, so for me, it barely matters if it’s playing Commando or The Joy of Painting.
