Television before sleep

[ChaoticSong]

What effect, if any, does watching TV before falling asleep have on your dreams? I've seen posts both here, and elsewhere, which suggests TV before bed has a negative impact on sleep...but I've also seen info which contradicts that claim. I'm looking for some sort of definitive answer, preferably one I can fact check or what the source of the information is. As always, thanks in advance for any answers.

If you heard opposing opinions, then there probably isn't a definitive answer. Even if someone found a source, I'd say it's still depends on the person. For example, back when I had a TV in my room, I would leave it on all night, and I slept just fine, and if it wasn't on infomercials, I would occasionally have a dream about what was on TV at that time. I've also had 2 LDs in the morning while my TV was on.

Thanks for the reply Snowy. I'll keep what you said in mind. If I find or hear any new specific information on the subject, I'll post it in this thread.
