Myth of Watching TV in Bed Before Sleep

Watching TV in bed before sleep is a myth and not recommended for sleep hygiene. It can lead to associating bed with non-sleep activities, exposure to screens emitting heat, and stressful content that can raise cortisol levels and hinder the ability to fall asleep. While falling asleep to a soothing show may be an exception, watching stressful content before bedtime should be avoided to promote better sleep.
