No TV's in the Bedroom...?

       Some time ago I read an article about how having a TV in the bedroom can be bad for you and your relationship. I don't currently have a relationship so that part doesn't apply to me. Anyway the article talked about how it can make insomnia worse because your brain no longer associates going to bed with sleeping...if I remember correctly it also advised against reading in bed for similar reasons. I have had issues with insomnia for most of my adult life and I have had a TV in my bedroom off and on through the years. I decided when I started law school that I wasn't going to have a TV in my room or keep my laptop in my room. I slowly found that I was watching TV or getting on my computer in the middle of the night less and less. If I had trouble sleeping I would read a little or listen to my iPod which is usually on a book. Over all I found it beneficial not having a TV in my room.
     However I have recently found my opinion on the matter shifting, like when my daughter is wide awake at 4am and wants to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse or a  movie. On the mornings where I can't coax her to go back to sleep or to lay quietly in mommy's bed and play her game, I end up sitting on the couch with her right up next to me. She watches the TV while I learn to sleep through the noise. Which has me thinking why not stay in my cozy bed while still being with her as she watches her cartoons? So I gave it a test run. I wasn't feeling well and she wanted to watch her show, so using my laptop I let her watch her MMC DVD in my room while I caught a cat nap. Aside from her incessant need to be touching me with her foot it wasn't that bad. Of course now she wants to watch movies in mommy's bed all the time and the only problem I can see with this is that it currently requires the use of my laptop.
     So I have devised a plan, which will free up my laptop and please her all while keeping me from being tempted by late night TV. I am going to put a small TV in my room hooked to a 5 disk DVD player that I can fill with her shows/movies. It will not be hooked up to cable, which wont even be a temptation seeing as none of the bedrooms in my house have cable connections. I must admit I find it ironic that my desire to improve my sleep led me to do away with a TV in the bedroom and now that same desire coupled with a two year old has me inviting the TV back in.
