Television light at night

[coolerifyoudid]

OK- I understand this. Seeing a lamp reflect off the screen bugs me as well. I just can't handle the stark contrast between TV light and the darkness from the rest of the room. The TV doesn't spread light very well. It feels like a laser beam in my eye if there isn't some other light in the room to absorb it.

Does adjusting the brightness help at all? Is it all programming, or are certain shows worse?

I don't have light sensitivity, but some programs seem like they are especially brutal with their lighting in comparison to others. Watching our morning news is like staring into a strobe light some days with the graphics they use. I have to glance away when I feel the commercial ending to give myself a sec or two to adjust.

If nobody else around you is experiencing similar affects, you may get your issue looked at by an opthalmologist to make sure there isn't something going on with your retina. I tend to not **** with eye issues since I plan on having mine for quite awhile.

2 kids under 3..... what do you think

You sound too young to be sleeping in separate rooms. That's for people in their 70's /80's

I think it's a mainly a result of the TVs brightness being set for daytime, which makes it too bright for complete darkness. I like a light on while watching TV but I like a movie theater to be dark. I can see my phone screen better if there's some light in the room.

I got a TV backlight strip that helps a lot.

Eh. I can take the pain. It's not a serious enough issue to schedule an emergency appointment with my optometrist. Like others others have stated- if there's no other light in the room it's like staring into a strobe light.

Theaters are different because the light is being reflected off the screen rather than generated. This helps it diffuse a lot easier. I think I'm just wired to light sensitivity and my brain gets frustrated when exposed to intensely focused bright light in an otherwise nocturnal setting.

Gotta get that good sleep any way you can with kids of those ages. Need both parents to be at peak performance.

20 minutes of coitus non-interruptus, then retire to your separate room. Wake up refreshed!
