I don’t get it.
My new kitten was chasing a fly on the couch and accidentally stepped on/used my face as a launching pad. The very edge of my right eye has a solid scratch going right through it now.
That’s my non-blind eye.
Serious answer:
I get insomnia sometimes and no TV in the bedroom is one of the recommendations.
So, bedrooms are for watching TV. For you.
We don’t always watch TV (I’d rather not). I would much rather just turn out the light at around 9:30 and try to go to sleep.
Bedroom activities are sleeping, sex, or reading. No TV, no work.
if u say so
it’s a flat screen on a super old tv stand with wheels.
That’s standard advice (usually without the reading part) for people who suffer from insomnia. It seems superfluous for people who don’t suffer from insomnia.
I don’t have insomnia but I choose not to have a TV in the bedroom. YMMV.

I have a bedroom TV but after we finally got a non hand-me-down couch for our living room it became so much more pleasant to watch TV in the evenings in the living room so I was happy to make the switch. Bedroom TV is mainly used by my kids in the evening now before story time.
I don’t have insomnia, but I do tend to fall asleep easier if I have something to listen to - usually a podcast (using head phones to not disturb my wife). Helps distract my brain so it can turn off easier. I don’t usually even pay any attention to what is being said.
If the brain really doesn’t want to shut off, the best solution is to go into the living room, lay down on the couch, and turn on the TV. I’ll usually turn my face towards the back of the couch and be asleep fairly quickly.
I’m less diligent about the no cell phone in the bedroom suggestion, but I do use it to read or listen to audiobooks in bed.
I probably have some sort of insomnia. I can probably count on one hand the number of times I’ve slept through the night since I turned 20. I’m in my 50’s.
It could be worth becoming more familiar with the crude jokes we’ve been making, I find that helps
Annoyed thought: It’s so hot here, I will have to put on the AC in my car for the ride home.
