That's how I sleep. I can't sleep in complete silence... I hear little noises that freak me out. So I turn on the TV so that noise drowns out the others.

most of us like some kind of white noise when we sleep. I love my celling fan.

People need "white noise". I run an air cleaner at night, not because the air needs to be cleansed, I need the noise.

Just about every one I know does this, most of the time you get used to the sounds and then after awhile it becomes habit, I can't sleep with out music unless I have a migraine.

It is normal because I usually fall asleep with my tv on and my mom is usually close it when she goes to bed

I have that problem- hmm idk it not that bad, I have a tv in my room. Maybe it's the light, maybe have him get a kind of light that changes colors

I used to have to sleep with the tv or radio on to drown out the ringing in my ears. That's gotten better so no I like it quite when I sleep
