and do you think it makes a difference in the closeness of a relationship? also do you think having a television in the bedroom affects the bond in a relationship?

My fiance and I have WAY different sleeping schedules. He sleeps a couple hours after work, then a few hours before he goes back to work. I go to sleep a few hours AFTER work and stay asleep till a couple hours before I go back. He is a very light sleeper, I sleep like the dead. But, no, it does not affect our relationship at all. And the only way the TV in the bedroom affects it, is he keeps the remote on his side of the bed, with the volume up and National Geographic on.

The hubby almost always falls asleep before me, although we almost always go to "bed" at the same time. I think that it is important for us to be in bed at the same time. We usually recap on our day before we go to sleep. Plus we snuggle and joke for a bit. But, we also have schedules that permit us to go to bed at the same time, while others may not. I think that having a television in the room makes you less likely to be intimate and therefore could have an impact on the closeness of the relationship

I go to bed at the same time with him. I think it doesn't really affect the closeness but rather the routine of each other's lifestyle. for ex, if he has to sleep early for work and you are not sleeping early and doing things that will affect his sleep, then maybe after sometime, he will feel frustrated. having a television can be pleasurable if the both of you can share and talk about the program you are watching but if you are snatching to switch to your favourite channel, then forget it!

First of all, keep in mind that sex is sex, and sleep is sleep. You need to make time for both.
My husband works from 9 at night till 5:30 am.
I work from 3 pm till 11:30 pm
We have the same off days. During the work week we spend a couple of hours together in the morning between 8 & 11.
Sometimes just catching up, sometimes sex.
We have from Sat. am when he gets off work untill Monday am when I have to get ready to go to work to be together.
We usually chat each night via cell phone when I get home for a few minutes. It works great for us.
Not too much time together, and not too much time apart.
I sleep great at night and he sleeps great in the day, with no one to hog the covers or bed space, and plenty of time to cuddle on the weekends.

We do not go to bed at the same time. He needs to be up very earlier, there for heads to bed early. I'm a stay at home mom and my daughter sleeps in in the morning there for I have the luxury of also sleeping a bit later. I do think it's a good idea to go to bed at the same time, but not always reality. As for the TV, used to have one before having a baby when we both worked and had the same schedule but no longer do. It would keep my hubby awake and he needs his rest. I used to love laying in bed watching TV with him before we drifted off, so I'm definitly not opposed to it.

One of us usually falls asleep rocking the baby and the other wakes them up to go to bed together. I don't think a TV in the bedroom is a problem as long as it isn't on all the time.

I do sometimes, I don't others.
TV is evil in the bedroom. We have it there but we don't have it on unless we're partaking in some adult entertainment! A lot of times it's fun when we just lay in bed and yap about crap. The other night my wife and I were talking about who invented doors and Adam and Eve, and we talked till 3 in the morning.
Yeah, it's not always possible to do so, but it's nice when we can go to bed together.

no, we never go to bed at the same time because we work different shifts. he works 8pm-4am and i work 6am-230pm. this was done so that one of us is always home with our son. it affects our affection that we show one another because we need to wait for the weekend. yes having a television does affect the bond. on the weekends i'll be laying down cuddling with my son watching tv while my husband is on the computer. how romantic.

I don't. We have slightly different work schedules. He stays up later then me and I get up earlier.
Having a tv in the room isn't bothersome. I fall asleep while he's watching it.
But if you feel the tv is interfering with your bonding...try moving it out of the bedroom for a week and see if you miss it.

I think a tv doesnt effect the bond....
sometimes I go to bed at the same time but when he's tired or depressed he could go to bed wayyyy too early.
