I used to watch DVD's of Friends, I'd literally binge watch every night before bed. I'd have a short break by watching Sabrina the Teenage Witch, then BeWitched. Then, I'd watch Friends again😅 This was single life though.
Before I had the baby I could not fall asleep without listening to an audio book/film etc. Now I don't have that problem as I'm always listening that the baby is OK x
Every. Single. Night 😂 For 3 years it was The big bang theory, then it moved onto Friends, now it's 'Dead to me'. Even if for some reason I wake up in the night I'll pop it back on
Watch more YouTube than tv - only see the toddler programmes my child watches on tv / Netflix -tend to listen to sleep stories or use my hallo app while I nod off
I read
Love after lock up right now 🤣
I had a conversation with my psychiatrist about this years ago. I get stuck on a show (and usually a specific episode) that I have to watch before bed every night. I thought I was crazy but I guess there’s psych reasoning to it?? It’s calming when you know how something is going to play out and you don’t have to pay attention. I also choose episodes of shows that everything is going well (I.e., an episode of 90 day fiance where everyone is getting along). Apparently that helps ease anxiety as well
It's something that helped a ton when I was freshly postpartum. Too anxious to fall asleep, up every other hour breastfeeding when I did manage to sleep, and wracked with anxiety while I was waiting for my medication to kick it. Comfort shows feel like visiting with old friends in a way. Otherwise, I don't do TV before bed. I prefer crossword puzzles these days and trying to maintain good "sleep hygiene"
