Sure, it might even increse your chances of lucid dreaming because you'd be sleeping lighter than usual |

Do you think I can sleep with a tv on and still be able to lucid dream? Usually I never ever sleep without my tv on so I'm just asking, and I guess this counts for my light too . |

Everything makes sense once you stop thinking about it
In my opinion it has nothing to do with lucid dreaming. If you want to sleep with the TV still on - I recommend you turn it down so all you can hear is muffled voices. It might give you a sence of company whilst you sleep, thus relaxing you. |

I recommend against it. The varying light patterns will interrupt your natural sleep, as will the noise. Using a bathroom fan (if nearby), a radio on static, or a fishtank (<3) are good sources of white noise. |

Maybe you want to try setting a sleep timer, allowing you to fall asleep with the TV on, but as you enter your sleep cycle and dream, the TV will be off. If you awake during the middle of the night, you'll probably be very tired and be able to fall asleep with the TV off. |

While sleeping, watch.
I don't know if there is a real connection between increasing lucidity and sleeping with your television on, but I know that usually when I fall asleep with it on I later wake up irritated and quickly turn it off because it keeps me from sleeping deeply. |

I think it will make you sleep lighter so if you do become lucid it will destabilize quickly. It might influence your dreams though. Sounds like an experiment, maybe I'll have iTunes loop a movie over and over again and see if my dreams are influenced by it. I'm going to do this when I get back to school. |

I sleep with the radio on, the volume very low, and on a talk station. |
|
Ironically, one of the only times that i was lucid recently, was while the TV was on. Hey it might work, someone should do some research. |

im going to try white noise tonight. ile be setting my alarm to go ff at around 3 in the morning with very soft very gentle static. |

I have slept with a TV on for the last 15 years of my life (no, I'm not exaggerating). |

Dude...I sleep with the TV on all of the time and I can't tell you how much it has affected my sleep. I mean, I've dreamed of freakin Britney Spears for gods sake. Anyway, my new take on outside influences now involvels psychic channels. As ridiculuous as it may seem, I think when you are sleeping (TV & radio aside) you pick up some sort of transmissions and these affect your dreams. |

I sleep with the TV on during the weekends, but I'm unlucky because the movie only affects the start of a dream (you know where you're going to sleep but daydream before a dream?) |
